In my life

...But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more (Rubber Soul)

I am 3 months old today!
Sitting in the doctor's office on Friday, I realized just how much I love my boys. They are my world. Everyone tells you that your world turns upside down when you first lay eyes and then hold your child - and I believed them.  But in the infamous words of a dear friend, it is the knock you on your ass, completely blindsiding, overwhelming sense of love -no, more than love, I couldn't find those words to be more true. I get goose bumps just thinking of the emotion Ben brings to my life!  I don't know what I would do or what would become of me if I ever lost either of them.  Tim - my rock and Ben - my breath.
So, vrey very sleepy

Ben has Stage 4 Vescioureteral Reflux.  What does this mean for the little guy?  He will be on antibiotics until he is 2. Everyday, once a day.  Hopefully it will come in the yummy, sticky, pink flavor he liked so much with the last round!  He will go back to the urologist in November and have another scan done to see if his condition is staying the same, getting better or getting worse.  Per the doctor only 1/3 of the children with stage 4 reflux grow out of it.  Once he is 2 he will likely have surgery to correct the problem.  He will only be considered for surgery sooner if he gets another urinary tract infection.
Here's lookin' at you..
With my Nana

The big guy starts day care tomorrow - yikes!!  Wish us and Miss Darla luck!
She's going to need all the help she can get!
Lots of love,
L&T
