Summer was good to us!! We played, we eat, we slept, we visited with family, and we went swimming!! Well, Nick and I did all that will Zac worked!! This summer we were able to introduce Nicholas to 2 uncles, 2 aunts, and 5 cousins. He has now meet everyone in my family, except my sister Amber and her family (hopefully we see them soon).
July
Celebrated July 1st with family.
Zac and I both ran the 5km Road race. We weren't fast, but we completed it.
Cork, Ian, Natalie, and Eddie drove out from Ottawa for a visit. Spent every minute that we could with them. Ate a lot of food, stayed up way to late, learned a new game (Blockus), and spent some really good time together.
August
Drove to Calgary twice. Once for a Specialist appointment to assess Nicholas's hernia. Yes you are reading that right. We went back to the same Specialist because Nick had a hernia on the other side. We then went back to Calgary about 2 weeks later for surgery. It was much the same as last time so if you want to know how it went then read back on my earlier post about the surgery the first time around. Nick did awesome. One of the biggest difference was that Nick was much more clingy and cried a bit more when they brought him back from recovery. He was also numb for a lot longer and couldn't move his leg for while longer.
After we were discharged, we headed up to Edmonton for a little vacation. We stayed at my sisters house and had a really good time. We did some shopping at West Ed, Zac did the bungee jump, Nick got to ride the train at Galaxy land, and Zac convinced me to do the roller coaster (which I probably will never do again). We had a lot of fun!! We left saturday morning and drove to Calgary were we meet up with some friends and went to the Zoo!! The zoo was awesome. Nick loved the animals and would point and grunt at all of them. He even waved "Hi" and "Bye" to some of them. He loved the monkeys and it was great to see him having such a good time. It was such a good idea to stop because it broke the day up for us, and we tired Nick out and he ended up sleeping the whole way home!!
Zac has returned to school, he is liking it for the most part. He said it is different this year cause he doesn't know anyone in his classes. He is working on an Independent Study again this year and it will start taking up a lot of his time.
Im back at work. Sad and Happy day. Sad to actually have to work and leave my baby, happy cause its nice to get away and actually use my skills and education. I am working a couple half days a week at a clinic. Its a lot different then working in the hospital, but so far I am liking it. I pick up some shifts every now and then so it is working out perfect for me and my family. Zac watches him when he is home, and Grandma Susie watches him every friday for us. Going back to work was a little bit easier for me knowing that Nick is either with dad or grandma.
