Checking In

Things are good on our end.  I made it through 3 weeks of teaching and now am off for a week for Thanksgiving break.  If was rough getting back.  I went back with no voice and coughing for a week.  Then the second week had the whole runny nose, sneezing, coughing thing.  I took 2 days off of school to get well and rest.  Davis stayed home with me too and that made me happy.  Sending Davis to daycare and going back to work was very hard for me.  I needed some time to get adjusted.  I am no longer sick and am feeling much better about the whole daycare thing.  Davis has adjusted too and he seems happy.  I am so thankful that Chad takes him in the mornings and sometimes picks him up early too!  It makes my day much smoother.    I did drop him off one time and was so proud of  myself because I didn't even cry!  I was somewhat of a nutcase the first week he was there. Ha!  I'm fine now. 

            Davis is growing so fast.  We took him to see Dr. Richard the other day to check on his skin and a runny nose and cough.   He had some dry, red patches which I knew had to be exczema and sure enough I was correct.  She gave him some presricption cream to use for 10 days and I've already seen a difference.  I just hate that I can't use Baby Magic lotion on him.  It smells so good and I want that new baby smell!  Davis is a chunky monkey and weighed in at 17.8 lbs. WOW... he was 14.15 on Oct. 5th.  But, he has been eating fruits, veggies and rice cereal daily.
         I've been worried about Davis' head being flat. Back in September, she took xrays and all is fine.  But when we were there the other day, Dr. Richard commented several times about how flat his head was.  She suggested that maybe we should see a neurosurgeon to check on it. She says it's purely cosmetic. So we are going to see Dr. Bui, a pediatric nuereosuregeon in New Orleans on Dec.1st.  I think Davis may have to wear a helmet for a little while to correct the problem.  Not sure, we'll have to see what the doctor says. 

        We are waiting for our friends from NYC, The Bentley's, to arrive to spend a few nights with us and meet Davis.  We are looking forward to a good time!  Then we are heading to the Caribe in Orange Beach with KK, Papop, Stephanie, Jade and Mallory!  We are super excited!
