A Quick Note

Well...actually two quick notes.

The last two nights have been pretty wild. We have them both on 3 hour feeds to limit the fasting time for Wyatt with his blood sugar issues. He has really been having a tough time getting adjusted to his new surroundings, which means that we have had a tough time getting adjusted. He has been sleeping very little through the night in between feeds. Randi is still taking the full brunt of it, since I can still sleep through most anything. It seems impossible right now that Randi can feed and burp both of them by herself. Randi's mom is here this week, which allows me to get some work done during the day, albeit working half-asleep. It is going to take some time to get into a workable routine and get to know Wyatt's needs. We believe he has reflux, which lends to an expressive amount of uncomfortability for him. We are so thankful that Parks was able to come home early and get all this out of the way prior to Wyatt. Parks is a trooper and is in a great routine now. We are hoping that is will be only a short adjustment period.

As for the second note, I wanted to answer some questions about the dogs. Dante is the only one here now, which is another blessing. He is so docile and, generally, could cares less about these newest intruders to his home. He has been a little more needy over the past couple of months as though starved of attention. Rawhides and knuckle bones have lost all taste for him. Duke is still on summer vacation on the dog show circuit. He is spending most of his days running the fields along coastal Georgia with the breeder and their brood of other dogs. I think I miss him more than Randi, but we are not expecting to get him back until August or September. He will be appearing in a fews shows around the Atlanta area in August, and we are hoping to make a dual purpose trip up there to see him in action and attend a baby shower for a friend of ours.
