On Pen's & Needles..

Well Julian's poop has been transported to Portsmith Naval as of Thursday, so we are now waiting to hear back with results. Julian also has two doctor's appointments this upcoming week and I am very anxious about that as well. Although most of you do not want to hear about my son's stool, I am happy to announce that he has not had the runs since Wendesday and had his first HARD stool in a very long time (LAST NIGHT half in tub half in toliet..lol) LMAO.

Julian's blood sugar has been running a little high the last few days, and I do antcipate a change in his dosage at the next doctors appointment, but other that that Julian has been doing VERY well.
At our next appointment, I will be in tow with two 2liters of needles. We store the used needles in empty 2 liters because I do not feel safe throwing them in the trash can.

Julian is doing great with potty training, tomorrow will be a full week we have been really working hard on it (Two weeks since he has not been a diaper). The first week in pullups, it was very hard for me to keep Julian on the potty long enough to even do any 'peepee or poopoo'. So I started a rewards system, if he stayed on the potty for so many minutes, he got a sticker. Each time I pushed the timer back a minute longer each time. Finally he was enjoying sitting on the potty and the new obsticle was to get him to tell me and recognize the signs. I started using the pullups that make the private parts cool when they are activated by urine. Since using these pullups( last Monday) Julian tell us when he has to pee pee and has used the potty just about every day since. He sometimes even takes off his diaper and calls for us when he is already in the bathroom, and just needs a boost on to the throne. It is a amazing to me how fast he is catching on to this whole thing, I expected it to be much harder. Since Julian has not been having the runs like he had been, I am hoping that he will start pooing in the potty on a regular basis as well!

Josh and I are so proud of our big boy!

Enjoy.. xoxoxo

Welcome Fall!

Well sorry so late- but Monday was Julian's doctor's appointment... everything went well for the most part. They have decided to hold off on testing him for celiac and going to try seeing if he has a food allergy first. So for the next two weeks Julian is not allowed to have any dairy, or anything fruit related. I also was sent home with two containers, blue rubber gloves, and huge popcicle sticks to take stool samples(JOY)!

After unloading all our information to Julian's PCM, we headed over to see the Nurse that works hand in hand with the Endocrnologist. They finally did a A1C on Julian... his results read 8.1.. which is a average blood sugar of 183. This is still in the high range, but def. not the worse!

We are seeing his Endocrinologist again on the 29th at 10:00 and his PCM again on the 30th at 1, and inbetween now and then i'll be making two poop runs to the hospital, because it has to go to the lab within 24 hours after his passes the stool.








Yesterday Julian and I went get Josh and spent the day with him doing things around base that needed to be done...


we stopped at the park while he was still on lunch.

The leaves are falling here, and the ones that are hanging onto the trees for dear life, are starting to change colors. It's so beautiful here durning fall. I LOVE IT!!!!

Happy Birthday Day Juliann!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIAN!!!!

On Julian's big day- we did all we could to make it very special! For breakfast I put a candle in his waffles.. he was not sure what was going on- but he did like what ever it was!!

He tried his best to blow out his candle, but did not succeed- thanks to the snot bubble that kept making a appearance every time he tried to blow! haha

Josh returned from a 3 day underway around noon, and we brought him eat and play at a play place just as we did last year for his birthday. This year he shocked us-- he climbed up the big twisty yellow slide all the way to the top of the play place!!!.. he had such a blast!

Josh and I had a lot of cleaning baking and other things to take care of before his party tomorrow, but was sure to make time to bring Julian to the Oceana Air show. Julian loves jets and they were doing fireworks- so it was heaven for BOTH my boys!

The weather could not have been prettier, and the sunset was totally STUNNING!

Here is a picture of a Blue Angel

Blue Angel again- really pretty.

Amazing husband & father. we are so thankful for him!!

As i said- the sunset was STUNNING!!!!! :) i love these pictures of my boys

Julian ate funnel cake for the first time-- he LOVED it!

we had a great time! and cant wait to go again!

...enjoy!
