upside down household

I forgot how a baby can turn a house upside down. That is what has happened this week since we brought Makenna Kate home. We are now beginning to settle into a routine. Annacarmie loves and needs a lot of sleep. That is not happening now and she is having a very difficult time adjusting to that. Several nights she has been in the bed by 7:30 pm.

Makenna Kate visited the doctor yesterday to check for jaundice. We knew when she left the hospital she had jaundice but we were trying just sitting her in the sun first. I was really anticipating her going back to the hospital because her skin and eyes were more yellow than when we brought her home. I called the troops to be praying between the time we left the hospital when they did a blood test and the time the doctor called us back with the results. I know I serve a great and awesome God who hears and answers the prayers of His children. It was truly an answer to prayer that her levels were not high enough that it required hospitalization. Makenna Kate's weight is down to 7.3 pounds and she is now 19.3 inches long.

Annacarmie is still struggling with her blood pressure each day. We are hoping and praying that those issues will subside.

Will decided to move to the lake house; therefore, that left an extra bedroom. Tomorrow Neil is coming to help me move Makenna's bed into that bedroom and of course we will have to decorate for that sweet baby girl. Only the best will do for her. Mamma Kim thinks everything needs to be done to look like a decorators magazine. How long will the room and everything in the room stay in [place. Maybe until Makenna Kate becomes mobile. I was reminded of that last night when Maggie Mae and Mason came for a visit. They were really good while they were here. They are just busy, continually moving and checking everything out. Mason found the remote to turn the lights on and off and to him that was really funny.

I had a thought the other day which may be crazy but I am thinking about going back to college to get my master's. Not really sure why except that I could teach at a community college if I wanted to. I want to be where God wants me to be and right now I am trying to decide where He wants me to be. Does it involve going back to school? Until just recently that was not even a thought that crossed my mind and I am not sure where that thought even came from.
Am I willing to spend the time necessary to study to makes the grades I want to make. Maybe I should start out small-a photoshop class to see if I am really wanting to get back into the classroom and do all the studying that would consume every minute of my time.
