Behind!

Ok so I have really been neglacting the blog this past month..... Life got away from me for awhile. Sometimes I love when that happens as I feel like I live more in the moment instead of always trying to capture the moment.
I am a firm beleiver in documenting and trying to save all the memories I can as I know this time in our life with small children will go quickly!
To get this baby up to speed here is what you missed.

I did get Jack into a heart specialist for a EKG before the appt Children's gave us. Call it a mother's will that I knew in my heart Jack was a very happy healthy baby boy, I could not leave something like this to chance. I called Mary Bridge in Tacoma and they were able to get him in the following week! Grandma Joan (my mom) although babysitting Jenna was able to come as the family expert if they did find something and I had questions. Robert and I both took the time off work to be there with him.

The EKG consisted of a simple test of stickers placed on Jack to view his heart beat. Easy enough right! Not for our strong willed child.... He ripped the stickers off as they were put on and an easy test became a challenge.
So on to the hard test that required a lot more work and money on everyone's part. We all walked into the dark room with two nurses, my mom, baby Jenna, Robert, Jack and myself. Robert laid on the table with Jack to hold down his legs. Sounds wonderful I know, but he was already crying and not happy at this point. I was in front of the table talking to Jack, and holding his hands down so the nurse could do the ultrasound. Jack fought the entire 45 minutes of the test, screaming, trying to wiggle, tears, snot the works. I think an image or movie should have been taken of the circus going on around him.

Jenna was crying as she had sympthany tears for Jack, Mom was trying to keep her happy. I was singing and being one of those moms. Robert was using all his strength to contain Jack to the table. The one nurse was trying to focus and get good images, and the other nurse was blowing bubbles around the room to keep him happy.

The best news he is totally fine! He will have a heart mur mur that he may or may not grow out of at some point but he is PERFECT!
