One and a half weeks down

Today is probably a good day for an update. There is not much new to report as far as our little baby goes. We are both monitored every four hours - night and day - and so far he seems to be taking things well. Now that we have successfully made it past the week mark, it is more likely that we will be able to hold things out for a longer period of time. So this is good news for our little guy. Things could change at any time, which is why we are constantly monitored, but it is a good sign that we have been able to make it this far.

We made the decision to enroll Brandon in school here, since the duration of our stay is unknown, but will at the least be for a few more weeks. Thankfully the two schools transferred records so we did not have to have all of his documents. He started at his new school on Thursday this last week. He was excited and has handled all of these changes so well. I have been so impressed with him. I would have been terrified to go to yet a third new school in the space of a year and a half. He has made a friend that lives very close to my parents, so it is nice for him to know someone in the neighborhood.

Justin will be arriving in Seattle tonight and will be there for a few days to go to work and get things done at home. The last time we were home it was Christmas day, so there is some work to be done to get the house back to normal. We are so thankful for neighbors, ward members and friends that have kept an eye on things while we have been gone. He will be bringing back a suitcase of things we need here. I am hoping for a very uneventful week here. I would hate for Justin to miss something important while he's away!

So we are doing fine and making things work. It has taken a lot of adjustment, and will continue to, so we are being flexible and trying to figure out what the new plan for us here is!
