Well here is another post for those of you who aren’t
currently reading mine, Traz’s or Nyte’s mind. To those of you who are…..get
out of our heads! Let me answer the
question that might be on a lot of your minds (because I CAN read your minds.
Freaked out? You should be….)
How Is Nyte Doing?
After a week of suction, humidifiers and getting used to
solid food again, I am glad to say that Nyte made a full recovery from RSV. He
is happy and healthy. A slight head cold was going around for a bit but it was
all under control thanks to my heartless suction of all that was mucous in his
nose. He has now gone back to his normal self.
And Now Onto Other Things!
Traz is still working about 50 hours a week at work. It’s
all a matter of so many things to do but not enough people to do it. But he is
happy to be able to have a job and I am proud of all the new products he gets
to help create in his department. For those of you who don’t know, Traz works
in the Research and Development Department for Intermountain Electronics. He
helps design part of power plants and coal mines. I would tell you more about
what he does, but then I would have to kill you. (In truth…I don’t understand a
lot of it myself…)
As for me, Nyte and I spend the day learning, playing, and
so forth. Nyte is now able to move forward on his belly. It’s not his preferred
method of transportation, but he can do it if he really wants something. What
he really likes to do is take my (or Traz’s) hands, pull himself up and walk
around. He may skip walking but who knows. I first have to get him over the
idea that I carry him everywhere…which will take training on my part J.
He has also started to copy the sounds of words Traz and I
say. When we were at Mailee’s and Spencer’s for a weekend, Nyte got a real kick
out of their dog Lizzy. By the end of the weekend, Nyte was enthusiastically
saying (or thereabouts) the word “dog”. Granted, it sounded more like
“da-ah-gah!” but he liked saying. Now his new favorite word is “hat”. He tends
to quickly say the “a” sound or kinda skip over it. Overall, we are proud of our little
Goomba. He‘s working on getting some more teeth coming in as well!
In Other News:
Traz and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Monday. (And
yes, we did get our taxes in beforehand so we could enjoy the day). We ate a
delicious dinner and played some video games to celebrate. I’m gonna get all
mushy for a second and reminisce. I feel very grateful to have been able to
find Traz. That he would look at me and decide I was worth the time and effort.
That he still looks at me and thinks that after almost three years of being
together. Traz is truly my better half. He keeps me striving to do better and
to look at things from a different angle. While it always hasn’t been easy, it
has been worth it. I love my husband, and I love April 15th because
it is the day I started my eternal family with him. Therefore, it is the
greatest day of my life. Because without that day, I would not be typing this
while I listen to make sure that Nyte is still soundly asleep while Traz is
sleeping peacefully next to me. So yes…April 15th may be a day of
taxes and turmoil to the rest of you,
but to me it is a day to cherish.
Now That You’re All Done Being Sick Off Of My Mushy-ness
We get to have Nyte taken in for his first round of
immunizations on the 20th! (Which I guess would be today when I post
it….). I’m not looking forward to how he will react. We waited so long because
of medical insurance, but also because we wanted Nyte to get over his trauma
from being in the hospital. Now it’s time to traumatize him some more right?
Hopefully it goes well and there are no major side effects on his part. Wish us
luck!
Until next time….
