The Baby Wait

 As the week went on I was so bothered that nobody was going to see Titus in the NICU. Ali didn't seem too worried and was enjoying sleeping and resting each day. How rare and fortunate as a new mom to get to catch up on all the sleep after having a new baby. She was happy to get a few minutes with a daily facetime video. Blake was given the ok, but they wanted to wait. Each day I prayed and had to put my mind at ease. All the thoughts of Jayden came pouring back to me. How Mark was the first to give her a bottle just 24 hours after she was born. How we were there every single day holding and feeding. How important it is for babies to have skin on skin contact. It was hard to know the little guy was alone. Somehow the hospital was going to allow Blake and Ali into the hospital earlier than 11 days. Friday night Ali ended up going to the emergency room to get medication for her UTI. Since she had a fever, she had to wait another 24 hours to go visit Titus. On Sunday, Ali and Blake finally drove to Des Moines to see their baby boy. I was so happy to get a facetime with them visiting Titus. He was sleeping soundly in daddy's arms. Technology is pretty amazing. We were in the truck driving home from OK and communicating with Ali over facetime seeing Titus live. It warmed my heart to see them together.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
