Today has been a very busy, emotional day. It was Peyton's first day of Mother's Day Out. I was very nervous, even though I knew he would do just fine. He will be there Tuesday's and Thursday's from 9am to 2:30pm. He was pretty excited this morning about going to school. When I dropped him off, he did not even turn back to see me leave. He was ready!!! When I picked him up, his teacher said that he did great until it was time to take a nap. They said he was tough to get down, but he did take a 45 minute to an hour nap on his nap mat. When I walked into the room he was sitting on the aids lap and crying. It broke my heart and of course (this won't surprise my family) I started crying too. And yes, I forgot to mention that I did cry a little when I dropped him off too!:( Overall, he did great. I am curious to see how he does on Thursday now that he knows he is there for 5 and half hours!!
After Peyton was dropped off, my mom and I took Brady to his 2 week appointment. Brady is 9.4lbs and 21 and a half inches long. He was 7.7lbs when he was 5 days old. He is a very good eater, and would eat much more if I would let him. The Dr. said that he looks great. He did not get any shots today, but they did the newborn PKU screening today. They have to prick his heel and fill 5 dots full of blood. It took 15 minutes to fill all five dots. Brady was screaming, mommy was crying and even Grammy was teary eyed. The nurse that did the test had him laying on the bed and had is leg elevated trying to get blood out of his heel. I am not a Dr. or nurse, but I do know that to stop blood flow you elevate the body part. Finally near the end of the test, my mom said "wouldn't it be better for me to hold him up so that the blood will flow to his heel?" Oh yea, that may work the nurse said. It worked and he filled the last dot very quickly. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper when we left the Dr. Brady was worn out and pitiful after all that.
After Brady's appointment I had my 3 week post surgery appointment. It was easy thankfully!!! I am glad that the day is over. We all survived!!!!

Bless Peyton's heart. What darling pictures of his first day in MDO. What a BIG boy. Sounds like he did good though. Guess what? Would you believe there are a couple of tears on my cheek just reading about it. And bless little Brady's heart, too. What an ordeal. Wonder where that nurse got her training? Thank goodness Grammy was with you or you might still be there. Honey, Brady is absolutely beautiful. He really looks a lot like Peyton and Dwayne and Gary all combined. Some of his pictures look like Gary and some look like Peyton and some look like Dwayne. Guess he is entitled to look like all of them. Thanks for sharing the pictures. You know how I love seeing them and reading your blogs.
Love you,

I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Peyton's first day of MDO and of Brady! I'm glad you all survived! I've had an emotional week too with Elyse starting kindergarten. I know Grandpa and Grandma will be having fun in Houston this weekend! Wish we could all be there too!
Love ya,

What cutie Peyton is! I think he is looking more and more like you, Minday -- especially in the eyes! I remember one particular picture of you when you were a baby with those big eyes! Brady is adorable, and I'm glad that first appointment is over for him. That's so sad to even imagine what he was going thru -- that mean old nurse!
Both of your boys are beautiful!
