Well.. were on the hunt for a new vehicle for Dennis. He has had such bad luck with his truck lately. A couple weeks ago his door almost fell off while he was driving. He had to bungee it shut and get in Dukes of Hazard style for the last couple of weeks. This past thursday night while pulling into a parking lot, his truck got clothes lined by a wire that was strung across the driveway. He didn't see it because it was dark and wasn't marked with anything. It tore his driver side tire to shreds and destroyed the front fender and lights. We had to have it towed home. He needed a new car for work anyways, but hopefully we can find something affordable.
Other than that, things have been chugging along. Were still not getting any sleep, except for Tegan. We are trying to switch her back to regular formula, the hypoallergenic kind is super expensive. So far she seems to be doing well. Still pooping, and no more gas than usual. I've also decided that we need to be more diligent about having a bedtime routine. We haven't been very good with it for many reasons: sometimes Dennis is home late, or were just plain tired. But starting tonight were starting a new plan. Were going to try something like this:
1) Bath around 7ish
2) Lotion/Massage
3) PJs
4) Book & Bottle
5) Bed! Whether asleep or not.
I know it's going to take time to get her used to this. But I think it will be worth it in the end. Right now we give her a bath and bring her down stairs while we eat and watch TV. And I think she's just getting too much stimulation. We'll see how it goes!!!
Today we also baked chocolate chip cookies to take to the NICU nurses. They were so surprised by how big Tegan was. Here is the picture we made to put on their baby board
I can't believe we were there 4 months ago.. Time sure has flown..
