Christmas past....

Over the weekend we had a great time at Kim and Lenny's. It was a lot of great conversations and I had a great time meeting a new person and chatting with cousins and the rest of our family. It was really fun to have great laughs and poke fun at one another. Hold on... one second.... never mind... I thought I heard wedding bells.

The rest of our weekend was quiet as far as traveling except for one trip I made to Aunt Margie's home on Christmas morning. I wanted to stop in as I knew it was her first Christmas without Uncle Sonny. One thing I learned was Uncle Sonny's ashes are buried on the same road that I live on in Allentown, NJ. Province Line Road....... This is a good thing.

This weekend was also filled with demolition and some framing as the next room in the house is ready for sheet rock. I am getting excited as I see the possibility of TV in my future. It is looking like we might get TV within the next few years. It would be nice to have it by the Daytona 500 so Nadia can watch it with me.

Nadia actually began to spit up quite a bit this week but it is nothing to worry about. She is eating a lot and weighed in at 4 lbs 13 ounces yesterday. That is basically triple her birth weight of 1 lb 10 ounces and certainly over triple her lowest weight of 678 grams. She also has some phlegm build up but that is apparently normal as well.

I think Tash and I are really starting to learn the line over when to ring the red phone at the White House in regards to what appear to us as Nadia's ailments. As we move along the process of parenting many things which alarm us tend to be normal baby stuff. A lot of what we perceive as ailments are not really ailments at all. Of course we are erring on the side of caution as Надежда is a preemie.

Lastly, on the 25th before I left for my aunt's home I put Nadia down on her boppy next to Tash on our bed and Tash then proceeded to fall a sleep. And then I snapped this pic... Life is awesome....
