Party!

We went to Vidal's uncle's birthday part today. It was fun. The boys had a blast looking for fish in the pond. We don't see his family often enough, just for get togethers. So it was good to see everyone. His cousin Ivan and Ivan's wife Erika have a baby that is 6 weeks younger than Logan. He's cute. He makes Logan look so small though. Logan looks so big and chunky until I put him next to a chubby baby and then I start to worry. That's it, we're only going around skinny babies from now on! : ) Well, here are some pics of our day.My 16 year old SIL-Daniella, Baby Julian, Logey, and my FIL--poor Logey was in desperate need of a nap by then. You see him eyeing Julian like, what the heck man?

Cristian very dramatically throwing out his fish. He was so sad that we couldn't keep them. Somehow one died in the process and he cried for about 15 mins saying he killed the fish and how horrible he was. : (

My boys : )

Me and my boys--excuse the eyes closed

Tia Juana and the boys--Logan was beyond tired.

Weight update--Appt update

Logey had a drs appt on Thurs. It went really well. He was 14 1/2 lbs (6.6 kg). Dr A was very content with his weight gain and said to just keep up the good work and do whatever we were doing that was making him gain weight. : ) So, for now, nursing is in the clear. For 2 1/2 weeks he's been getting 1 tbsp of protein powder a night per dr's orders because dialysis depletes protein and his levels were really low. He also said that once he hits 7 kg (about 1 more lb) that he will start on the paper work to get Logan on the UNOs list. The sooner he gets on the list the better since it's about a year wait. Thank God for dialysis. At first, it seems to scary and foreign but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. And, it saves his life so really, who can complain about that, you know? Hopefully Vidal or some other family member will be a match, but, if we can't find one, at least we know we're going on the list soon! He has an appt on the 7th so I'm really hoping he'll be 7 kg by then. Grow Logey grow! We have about a year left (hopefully) on dialysis until he's about 18 months and 10 kg. We still have a long road ahead of us but this seems like such a great milestone.sleeping Logan--he's on dialysis and his feeding tube in this pic.

This is his "corner" the blood pressure machine and dialysis machine are in the back.

head, shoulders, knees, and toes....

happy baby!what mom?

Fourth of July pics

Our 4th of July pics, I didn't get to add them during that time because life went crazy on me. But, I still want them on here, so here they are.All the kiddos in their 4th shirts after dinner

This was the 4th pic since we had to get a pic of ALL 4 of the "big" kids holding Logan--you can tell Cristian is SOOOO done with the picture taking

the kiddos watching the fireworks--and Kayla watching me : )

Logan looking mortified in his hat

oh, well that's why, he was sleepy

Weight update : )

Logan is now 14 lbs 1 oz. He's had quite a big jump since he started dialysis. He even got sick twice during that time and still managed to climb steadily. He's getting protein powder in with his breastmilk at night now--through the feeding pump that won't stop beeping. He gets 10 oz of breastmilk mixed with 1 tbsp of protein powder, it seems to be helping. Bulk up baby boy!

Beeping......

I swear if I hear one more beep from the feeding machine, I will throw the darn thing. We can't take it in until Thur since it's 3 hrs away so I just have to deal with it for now. Everything else is going decent. Marilee and Regina (cousin and friend) both nominated me for a raffle for a hotsling and I actually won! I'm so excited. I wanted to try one when Logey was smaller. Luckily he's a small guy so hopefully he'll still fit nicely. He loves our moby and I really want to get a babyhawk at some point. Anyway, here are some pics of my little guy.enjoying the computer, like mommy.

nah, mom, I'd rather look at you.about to go for a walk, loving his stroller.First time sitting in a "restaurant" high chair (it was just whataburger) see how scared he looks of all the germs. He got taken out about 2 seconds later, LOL.
