Conner's heart

We met with the surgeon a few weeks ago and he explained more about what was going to happen and what we could expect after the surgery. We got to take a tour of the hospital too. Lot of mixed emotions going on when I saw where we'll be waiting while he's in surgery and where he's going to stay after. It definitely made me feel more comfortable, but it also made me a bit more nervous. It clicked just a little bit more that this is actually going to happen.

We scheduled the surgery for June 20th, but we had an appointment with the cardiologist today and he said he would feel more comfortable if we did it sooner. He said Conner's not in any immediate danger, and he would be okay waiting till the 20th, but it will be better for Conner, and us, if he gets it done sooner. Again with the mixed emotions...I'm nervous about him having surgery, but I'm excited for him to get better. Both his cardiologist and the surgeon said we're probably going to be surprised at how fast he puts on weight after the surgery. I'm excited for him to not have to struggle so much to breath and eat.

4 months!

This might sound weird...but I can't believe that Conner is only 4 months old. I'm pretty sure it's the sleep deprivation talking, but I feel like he should be a lot older. I'm happy it seems to be going by slow though. I know he's going to be walking and talking before I know it! 

He finally started to gain a little bit of weight the past few weeks. He weighed right at 14 lbs and was almost 25 inches.  

He is such a happy baby. It doesn't take much to make him smile. He's really ticklish and he has the cutest laugh! 

He had rice cereal for the first time a few nights ago and he loved it! I was really surprised at how quickly he ate it. I think he likes having the food put in his mouth and all he has to do is swallow. 

He hasn't been sleeping too great at night. It's like he's too tired to eat and too hungry to sleep. He seems tired, but he's hungry, but eating wears him out, so he falls asleep, but he's still hungry, so he wakes up and he wants to eat, but he's tired....it's not a very fun cycle. 

He loves to watch Owen. I'm so excited for when they can play together! 

Mother's Day

Such an amazing day! 

Owen and Conner both slept till about 9:30 which means I got to sleep in for the first time in such a long time. 

We started going to our new ward today, which means church doesn't start till 11:30 and Tome doesn't have to go to bishopric meetings. It was so nice to take my time getting ready and to have Tome there to help get the boys ready. 

Today was also the first time Owen sat through all of Sacrament meeting. I was so proud. He even folded his arms for about 3 seconds during each prayer! 

Since I'm not in primary anymore, I got to go to Relief Society for the first time in almost 2 years. It was awesome.

I love my boys! It's so fun to watch them interact. Owen is such a good big brother!
