Two Year Checkup for Jack

Hello family and friends near, but mostly far (as we don't see you as often)! Another news update!

Jack had his checkup today and for the most part he is doing really well! He's right on his growth curve, but we are still supposed to take him in for a weight check in a few months. He's 'petite' if that is the right word for a boy but very active and healthy.

He came in at 22 lbs, and 33 inches tall!

The only curve ball is that his umbilical hernia does not seem to be 'healing itself' as apparently many of them do. So the doctor said it's pretty likely that in a few years Jack will have to go in to get that fixed. An outpatient surgery. Fun Fun Fun! Gladly, it is not painful for him and it does not seem to bother him in any other way - he just thinks he has a huge belly button!

He tried very hard to be brave, as he really really dislikes going there. Even though I tried to calm him down getting his height and weight made him a writhing crazy monster boy! Eventually he calmed down some, and I was even able to distract him with a book and the shot almost took him by surprise. Almost. As a result I let him choose whatever he wanted for lunch. He wanted pasta - so hooray! Noodle and Company! A nice treat for the two of us together.

Next week it's my turn to go to the doctor. We took him to my appointment last time to make him see it's not all bad but I guess it's just different when it's not you on the table. :)

Until next time....take care!

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
