This weeks update...

So lots of things have happened this week. Most of them were good and others suck! Since most prefer bad before good, reading my fathers status yesterday I learned that my Grandfather's lung cancer had returned. I feel like shit! Truly a disease like this couldn't happen to a nicer person and it doesn't seem fair. I haven't been the ideal Grandchild for a long time. I could say that I make more of an effort now because my Grandmother pulled her head out of her ass where my sexual preference was concerned but that would just be an excuse. When I talked to him on the phone yesterday he made light of everything as he always does when I told him how I found out and said something like "to an old fashion fella like me software is the same as underwear" LOL He asked about Luca and how things were going and I asked him how Mammaw was holding up as I dont know what she will do without him. I dont think she has ever been without a man in her life and while she is a tough bird she depended a lot on him to just exist and be. They compliment eachother so well. I worked in hospice for a while and have dealt with death almost everyday in that situation but its always different when its your own family. I have seen what lung cancer looks like in the end and the only thing that gives me piece of mind is knowing it isnt as bad as something the others. *sigh* I am hoping his oncologist can pull another miracle out his hat. As for the good news all is done with my testing and such for work. I start orientation on the 9th. Luca and I will be stopping in to see the woman who delivered him on Friday when I go in to get a PPD read and sign one last form. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Luca Upate: He is belly sleeping now with his cute little behind in the air! LOL He has cut one top tooth and the other is working its way through. He is doing this cute little thing now when I come in the door after being out a while where he will whine for me to get him when I say hello to him. He is still very much into Yo Gabba Gabba but has watched other shows as well (mostly in the morning when he is open to change LOL) Were working on sitting up. Its harder for him since he is so big. Its difficult for him to keep things where there supposed to be. He sits great though I just dont trust that he wont topple over. We take time each day to work on his milestones. He is still very fascinated with his toes which makes the sitting up milestone a little hard to accomplish LOL. Ps. The other day I had a conversation with a nice lady in the walmart baby isle. I had to ask how old her child was. This little boy was a little longer then luca (not by much) and weighed a little more. In fact he was 9 months old and weighed in at 30 lbs. So suddenly I am not worried about his size anymore. When I got a look at her husband (who looked like linebacker LOL) I was relieved. Have a great weeks folks...
