Good-bye Car
We sold our Volvo this week. We had taken it in for the safety and emission requirements to renew the car's registration for the year and it didn't pass safety. There were a couple of things wrong with it and the cost to fix it was more than what Jeremy and I were willing to put into the car. After a few weeks of discussing what to do, we put it up for sale on KSL classifieds and sold it the very next day. Even though I definitely had a love/hate relationship with this car, I shed a few tears when she drove away. Clara was also sad until the extremely nice couple who bought our car explained that they just got a brand new puppy and it would be excited to ride in the way back of the car. Clara was then willing to let the car go, if it would make a puppy happy. The couple even came back to our house a few days later and brought the puppy so Clara could see how happy the puppy was.
Joseph was supposed to have his surgery this week. (He was getting his ear tag removed.) However, the day before he was supposed to have it done, the receptionist from his Dr called. The anesthesiologist didn't want to perform the surgery. He saw that Joseph was premature and didn't want to put operate until he was at least 6 months old. I started crying and explained how if we did it now, it would be a lot cheaper since we've already met our out of pocket costs for the year. And since Jeremy's last day of work is tomorrow, we're just not sure how insurance and things are going to play out. The receptionist said she would see what she could do and call me back. A few hours later, she called back and explained that now both the doctor and the anesthesiologist didn't want to do the surgery because it was just cosmetic and would prefer to wait. So Joseph gets to keep his uniqueness a little longer. Luckily, since he's gotten such chubby cheeks, no one notices it anymore.
The first snowfall of the year (with accumulation) came today. Clara was so excited to go outside and play in the snow. We got her all dressed up and she ran out the door.
It wasn't long before she had made a snow ball
and threw it at me! :)
Joe had his 4 month check-up yesterday. He now weighs in at 13 lbs 5 oz! He's officially on the charts with the rest of his birth age peers and not just his gestational age peers. The doctor came in and said, "Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about poor weight gain with him." The crazy thing is that he's still only eating about 2.5 oz every 3 hours. Chubbiness is just in the genes I guess.

The ear tag doesn't affect his cuteness one bit! Besides, I've seen lots of little ones with them. I hope everything works out with Jeremy's job situation.
Lexi has an ear tag. We never had it removed because it's on the back of her earlobe and, with her long hair, you really can't see it. We wondered if it would be an issue for her, though, as she got older. Once she noticed it, it bothered her for a little while, but since then she's decided it's part of what makes her unique. Most of the time no one remembers it's there. I'm not sure how it will affect things if she decides to get her ears pierced, but at least that's one thing you probably won't have to worry about with a little boy! It's a bummer that you couldn't get it taken care of now, when it was much more financially convenient for you, but Danielle's right, it definitely doesn't affect his cuteness at all!
