I've got some great news and can now fill you guys all in on the baby situation.
First, I'm home and a HUGE thank you to everyone who responded to my last post. Watching my nephew being born was a crazy experience (one that reaffirmed my desire to never have children) and we were all so happy.
My nephew, Reason Jon, is the highlight of my life.
However, if you saw Xie's post last week, you know that we had some problems. Unfortunately, Reason went back into the hospital when he was only a week old and he didn't come home until Christmas, in the afternoon. He was there for two full days.
The experience was horrible and terribly distressing. He had lost too much weight and was dehydrated and even after he came home, there were concerns about whether he'd start to gain weight.
As of this afternoon, at 2 weeks old, he seems to be out of the woods completely with a positive outlook from the doctor. I cannot tell you all how happy this makes me. I love him so and I've left a HUGE part of my heart in Vermont. (I fear that you will all be subjected to stories of him from now on...humor me.) :P Leaving was one of the hardest things I ever had to do (but I had to do it because I had a trial yesterday).
Reason is bright eyed and oh so adorable. He and I had some time together before his unforeseen trip to the hospital. We talked about snow and how much fun it can be with the snowmen and snowballs and snowboarding (I threw that in for his Mommy). I sang Christmas songs to him and all kinds of nursery rhymes. We even squeezed in 2 books. He will grow up to be brilliant! He was lifting his head and looking around the day after he was born. He's curious and playful. I love him so so so much.
But, I'm home now and way, way, way behind on all things in my life, including fandom. I cannot even pretend that I will go back and catch up on my flist. Therefore, I need a favor from you guys. If you wrote a story, made icons, etc, or posted something important in your life and I missed it, would you consider leaving me a link to the post? It would help to keep me from feeling so overwhelmed whenever I think of IJ.
