Well, Baby David has made it to 31 weeks gestation. That is almost two weeks past where Austin was born. We are so grateful for the Lord's protection over our second son. Things are going well with the pregnancy- no signs of preeclampsia this time.
Austin is doing very well after his surgery last week. The incision on his back looks great, and we visit the surgeon's office next Thursday so they can check it out and give us the all clear to resume normal activities. Austin is so ready to get out of the house! Tuesday night, his friend Ali came with her parents to bring us a meal, and Austin was so excited to have a friend over for a little while. They played puzzles in the floor, and I think he would have played with her all night if she could have stayed.
One of the disadvantages of having spinal surgery on the lower back is that baths are a no-no. This makes for a very sour and stinky child. Even Austin himself is begging to take a bath these days. He told Joseph this morning that he couldn't take a shower because he had just had one yesterday. I'm sure his logic was, "Dad, if anyone needs a shower, it is me. You think you are dirty? I haven't had had a bath in a week and a half!" We gave Austin a sponge bath the other day, and he was very cooperative and happy while we wiped him down; however, it was all a big misunderstanding. He thought that once we had given him the sponge bath, he was going to be able to take a real bath in the tub with his toys. Needless to say, we had a very upset child on our hands when he realized that he couldn't get in the bathtub.
