One Month Old

My Angel Baby

Can't believe little Trev is a month old already....the time has flown.  He is such a good baby and he's definitely got an appetite on him.  He also loves to sleep.  No complaints here.  He is so yummy and I am more in love with him every day.  He is slowly getting a personality and has given me some smiles even.  My favorite thing is to see him turn or lean toward the direction of my voice whenever I walk into the room if someone else is holding him - it is a wonderful feeling to be so important to someone else!  The big mystery is what color his eyes will be.  Scotty and Zac both had blue eyes from the moment they were born. Trev's have been slate, as with most newborns.  Some days they look blue and others they look brown.  Will they be hazel?  Only time will tell.

We celebrated Scotty's 5th birthday on June 30 and I can't believe my baby is FIVE!  Seems like yesterday when he was as little as Trev.  We started the day with mommy going off her pain meds so I could actually drive and take him for a day out.  Since I'd pretty much been laid up and dependent on others to get around for the past week, I hadn't had a chance to get him any gifts or even order a cake.  So, that was the day that I powered through the pain and we went out and had a good time.  First stop, Toys R Us.  Usually we rush through that store getting only what we came in for and out, but this time Scotty got to leisurely shop around and look at everything with no nagging from mommy to hurry up.  He picked out two toys and three books.  We then headed to Applebees for his free birthday lunch and then off to Safeway to pick his cake.  A crazy Spongebob cake that he'd spotted weeks before and has been talking about ever since.  He's not allowed to watch the show, but he was allowed to order the cake.  This ridiculous cake was enough for 40 people and we only had a party of 12...o-well.  Who doesn't like leftover cake?  Safeway actually requires at least 24 hours to make the darn thing, and I felt like such a bad mom because I hadn't thought to order it beforehand....but the lady was an angel and said she'd have it done for us in a few hours.  Hallelujah!  She saved the day and Scotty's smile :)  Thus, with cake in hand, we met up with family and friends at a bowling alley where we all enjoyed a few games, pizza, presents, dancing and of course the cake.  It was a good day and Scotty had no idea that it was thrown together on a whim.

Welcome Baby Trev!

Trev McKinley Wahrmund made his debut as scheduled on Tuesday, June 22 at 9:31 AM via c-section at Naval Hospital Bremerton.  He weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 20.5 inches long.  He is the sweetest little guy and I am head over heels in love!  The surgery was a bit harder on me than the previous two, so recovery has been a little more challenging.  I was pleasantly surprised by the experience I had at the military hospital and really was not ready to go home that second day.  I could've pushed for a third day, but figured they'd see right through me knowing this wasn't my first rodeo.  I sure do miss, among many things, that 24 hour care, the three meals a day served right to me and that angel nurse that took Trev in the middle of the night each night for two hours so I could have uninterrupted sleep.  I was treated very very well and it was really hard to say goodbye to the crew on "4 OB". 

Now that we're home, however, things aren't as chaotic as I had feared.  In fact, the adjustment is going quite well and the boys are getting to know their new little buddy.  Scotty is the doting big brother, always wants to hold him and has been really helpful.  Zac on the other hand could probably take or leave him.  We'll have to work on that.  My family has been truly a godsend with Jay gone and I don't know how I could manage all this without them.  The Wahrmund boys are definitely keeping me BUSY....but I have no complaints, we are very blessed!

Pulled It

Scotty's tooth had to go.  The dentist wanted to keep it in and let it fall out on its own, but it was causing too many problems for the poor little guy....he couldn't even eat without it hitting the other teeth and making it bleed and sore.  Thus, I asked them to pull it while he had his cleaning the other day.  They gassed him, numbed him and took it out and Scotty was a trooper through it all.  Not a tear was shed and he's already back to eating "normal".  He'll be toothless for probably another year, but at least now he looks more like a five year old and less like a hillbilly...

So Long For Now

Being a military family, it is inevitable that every couple of  years or so you will have to say goodbye to friends you've made along the way.  The military says when and where and you go, no questions asked.  Usually those orders are welcomed after you've spent time in certain places because you become accustomed to moving around and discovering new places.  In 2008, we moved at the same time as some of our fellow Coastie friends and we were all fortunate enough to get stationed in the Pacific Northwest.  As expected, we've managed to stay in touch and meet up with each other periodically over the past two years and it's been great.  However, as mentioned, the inevitable has come.  The Owens are now relocating to Alameda, California and the Fryars are relocating to Portsmouth, Virginia.  I met with my gal pals this past week to say our goodbyes and though it was a bit sad to send them off, I know we will see each other again.  You just know when you meet certain people that goodbye is really "so long for now".....who knows where the CG will take us next, we may just end up right near them again.  Safe travels, my friends.

Toothless at age 4...

Yesterday, as we were enjoying a lovely day in the warmth and sunshine at a BBQ with some friends, Scotty got kicked in the face while playing soccer, knocking one front tooth clear out and leaving the other just barely hanging on.  It was a bit traumatic for both of us, as seeing blood dripping from my son's mouth is a sight that no mother should ever have to endure!  I will be taking him to the dentist this week and they will most likely pull that other tooth because it is pretty loose.  Thus, smoothies, yogurt and shakes is all he is able to eat at the moment.  Poor guy.  He's a trooper, though, and was up and playing again in no time.  We consider this in some weird way a payback....when Scotty was three, he and his friend Sammie were running with each other, somehow bumped into each other, and since Sammie is about half the size of Scotty, she went flying into the wall knocking one of her front teeth clear out - at age three!  So she's been toothless for the past two years.  What goes around comes around, Scotty.  We always joke with her parents that the two of them are meant to be together and this just proves what soul mates they really are! :)
