Home at last...

We heard Tuesday evening that our power had been restored however remained at the hotel until Wednesday morning to be sure it would stay on. We headed out here around 10:30 during Travis' lunch break (he went in at 6 for a load of generators). After we got out here Tennyson and I started getting things done that needed to be put back in order (sorry that's why I didn't post). I managed to get the dishes done yesterday afternoon and the refrigerator/freezer cleaned out as we lost everything, it smelled so bad when we got in here.


Tennyson has had a ton of trouble since we headed to the hotel with sleeping more than one hour at a time. He will not stay sleeping unless someone is holding him and patting his back...it's a hassle and sometimes annoying however I realize I will never get these moments back so I am treasuring them now. So yesterday he was up around 6:30 am and stayed that way until Travis held him when he got home around 6pm. He would doze between times but I couldn't hold him, there was too much to be done so he wouldn't sleep ten minutes once I put him down.


So we wrapped all the Christmas presents, did the laundry up, washed dishes, cleaned out the fridge and unpacked with him staring at me the entire time. He is so good, and doesn't cry much unless he's hungry or agitated however I knew he was so tired. Don't get me wrong the kid can wail, Travis has affectionately nicknamed him, "my little angry man."


So needless to say by the time we got everything done, and him bathed last night it was midnight when we were going to sleep. He woke up at 2am and I fed and changed him and then he slept until 6:30, I couldn't believe it. I am thinking maybe keeping him up all day helps...at 6:30 I did some patting to his back and he was back to sleep until almost 8 when the home health nurse called.


Lisa came by around 9:45 and he weighed in at 8lbs. 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. He's growing so fast, right before our eyes. He had a bit of a fit with his oxygen last night and they told us not to fight him any more so he didn't have it in his nose between 2 and 8 when I took it off. He was satting 100 this morning so Lisa said to try him off it at night and see how he does. If his monitors alarm we will put it back on but he is obviously showing us he can do it.


So now we're just hanging out, I'm hoping to catch a nap with him this afternoon, please pray for me as yesterday I began coming down with a cold. I talked to his pediatrician to see what was safe to take so will start that this evening. As for now that's all she wrote..

Love you all.

Blessed by the Blesser-
Travis, Lindsay & Tennyson Myers
