While the past two weekends have been wonderful... this evening was by far the highlight when Milo laughed for the very first time. Oh my goodness was it precious! I was on the phone and heard Nathan trying to get my attention. When I walked into the living room, Milo was laughing at Nathan. I immediately started crying, then grabbed the camera. It just melted my heart... I mean melted like a stick of butter on the hot Memphis pavement kind of melted. I'm just glad he did it this evening and not during the time I have to be away from him. I told Nathan not to tell me about anything cute he does while I'm away!
We'll pick mom up from the airport tomorrow. {SO EXCITED!} Then we'll have the rest of the day to get her reacquainted with Milo and fill her in on the day to day details. Tomorrow I also have to do the low carb, high protein diet for the day. Then Wednesday morning is the PET. I have stored about 52 ounces of milk. I'm pretty sure we'll now have plenty to get him through the 48 hours post PET. I plan on taking one of Milo's blankets and a picture with me while I have to be gone. I know we'll all make it through, but I just want something to physically hold and see to help me through. And the plan is to spend the day at my friend's parent's house. I have a stack of magazines to read and will try to embrace the quiet as best I can.
OK... I need to go. Nathan's been carrying Milo in the football hold trying to alleviate some gas pains. Not that there's anything I can do that Nathan can't to help... but you know how it is.
Have you tried gas drops??
