Busy!

Man I haven't posted for a month! It has been really busy with everyone on school. I'm doing pretty good scheduling homework after everyone is in bed. I spend from @ 9:30 to midnight every night almost every night. I seem to be doing okay this way. I took my first official test at the testing center last week. I bombed it. Lesson from that experience?? I have to study before the test. Nutrition is harder than I expected. It has a lot of biology stuff. Health is easy. Computer basics is way more involved than I thought it would be. For only a 2 credit class it sure is a lot of work. English I dread. I do fine once stuff is done but I feel the most pressure from this class.


Dexter is walking!! He really started a few days ago and now he is toddling every where! It is the cutest thing ever. He is the happiest kid I have ever met too. He likes to put whatever toy he is holding in between his front teeth and walk around grinning. Kinda like a puppy I guess. Haha. All of his front teeth are in finally. 4 on top and 4 on bottom. I don't know if I posted about sleep training. IT WORKED!! Dexter is sleeping in his crib. All night long. He had a rough couple nights this week but I think that is because he has a little cold. Other than that it has been so great. We do dinner, bath, books, nurse and then he goes right to sleep. Just like real people. Now Violet on the other hand is still having a little trouble. She still can't fall asleep on her own so after we do the routine, I take her in my room to fall asleep. I move her into her bed after a while and she usually atays in there for the night. This is still better because we were watching a whole movie in her room every night. Now the whole bedtime process is done by 8:30 at the latest. Much better than 10 or later that we were doing before. Yay! Oh...and she no longer wears pullups! Yay.

Violet has been having so many UTI's the last 2 months. (her whole life really) The doc ordered a VCUG to test her bladder and kidneys. We were thinking about just watching her to see if getting her out of pullups would solve the problem and it didn't. Last week we got the VCUG done. This test involved a trip to the hospital and sedation. She did SO GOOD. Everything went really smooth.  It turns out she does have reflux in her right kidney. I am taking her to the pediatric urologist this Thurs to find out what we do from here. Poor baby. I hope we get her fixed up soon.
