I am off for the next 4 days.  Leisure here I come.  I have two Real Simple magazines to read and a head full of micros to take down (I hate micros- necessary evil for my 2 month trip).  There is a tin full of peppermint tea with my name on it.

There was a time when leisure was my life.  But alas, time marches on.

By the way… I am a new AUNT!!!! We welcomed Mr Jaylen Some Middle Name to the world at something after midnight on March 3rd.  He came in at 4 pounds something ounces and some length.  Yes, those details are courtesy of my brother AND his girlfriend!  Trife!  I had to go get a picture of the incubator ID card so I would have the details.

This is one stubborn but totally adorable little boy! The OB wanted to have the c-section on the 20th of March.  Well Mr Jaylen decided his birthday was going to be on March 3rd and that’s that!  So he was early but he is doing very well. He isn’t on oxygen anymore, he’s eating well, he hates being touched (sounds like my nutty brother).  They will probably send him home this week.  The only issue is that he only has 1 crease on his hands.  You wouldn’t think that’s a big deal but it can be associated with Down’s syndrome and other developmental issues.  We will have to wait 2 weeks to find out because the bloodwork won’t be back until then.  Keep him in your prayers.  It’s likely to be nothing as 1% of all people have a single crease and no issues.

So that’s what’s new with me….
