What a week!

Oh my goodness what a week we have had. Who knew when we went for Alissa's appt. last Thursday that she wouldn't come home until the following Tuesday and would be bringing Baby Jack with her!

While things didn't go exactly as hoped for, the end result was a healthy baby and Mommy and that is really all that matters.

Jack is such a sweet baby and is doing so well with nursing, sleeping and just everything. I really don't know how in the world I am going to leave him. Everyone told me how wonderful being a grandparent is, but like most things, until you experience it for yourself, you just don't fully understand. It is amazing the love I have for this little boy. My heart is just so full and I am so proud of his Mommy. Seeing your child with her own child is the most precious thing.

Soaking in every minute I can before I have to leave, thank goodness I still have 13 days....

Jack

He's here!

Oliver Jack Poynor arrived at 1:17 am Eastern at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. He is a beautiful little boy whom I am sure I will be writing much more about. But for now these pics will have to do!

Still waiting...

Well, the 27th has come and gone and still no baby boy... We are all anxiously awaiting his arrival and it appears he is in no hurry at all. Alissa has another appt. tomorrow, hopefully there will be some news then...

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of his nursery, all ready and waiting for him.


Love the bedding and it is soooo soft!!


I am sure he will be rocked many hours in this chair!

I'm ready, he isn't

Ok Baby Boy Poynor, Nonnie is in Boston, at your house, with your Mommy and Daddy, you can come out now and play with me!!

Still waiting...

Well, after getting very excited Wednesday, we are not so excited today. Alissa saw her doc yesterday and the good news is the pre-eclampsia is much better, bad news is, it doesn't look like a little one this weekend. So, we wait....

Rheumy appt.

Saw my Rheumatologist today. He seems to think the Plaquenil is helping. Took some x-rays of my hips and spine. Conclusion...Osteoarthritis in both... Whoo-hoo...At least that explains all the pain I have been having for the past several years. Gave me two more prescriptions, one for the arthritis and one to counteract the side effects of the arthritis pill...hardly seems worth it...Not sure I will take it, I think sometimes the cure is worse than the ailment. But we will see.

I think I will be switching over to the Doc here in Ft. Smith. It is just too far to go to Tulsa for these appts. Plus, I don't really care for the Tulsa doc. It just makes more sense to see the doc here in case I need to be in the hospital for any reason. So I have an appt with him for Sept. 1st. Hope I like him...
