Hey People,
A lot has been goin down since the last time I wrote on here. Not sure where to start, so I guess I'll just start with my Sleep Study. First of all, don't know they call it a sleep study. I don't think either me or my mom got any sleep. I was having a ball when we first got there, but once they glued all those metal things to my head, I freeked out (for several hours). I was trying to pull off as much of the stuff as I could but they kept putting it all back on. So eventually I threw up, and then gave up. My mom stayed with me in the hospital - as only one parent could bunk in. My dad stayed in a hotel with some of my FL fam - they were visiting, but I'll get to that in a min. The next day my mom and dad went to get the results that just said I did eventually sleep, I stop breathing every now and then, I have restless leg syndrome (my mom didn't know kids could get that - they gave me iron drops to help get rid of it), and drop my oxygen level a little lower than they would like to see. Overall, not a normal test, but not terribly abnormal either. Go figure. Now we wait for more doctors to schedule more tests to try to continue to figure stuff out. My mom gets pretty upset about all the waiting in between stuff. I guess I do too, cause I just wanna stop throwing up so much.

Now back to my FL family. My Grandma Shay came to visit with my Aunt Christa - she left the boys at home for this trip. Which is kinda a bummer cause I would have liked to meet my cousins, they are kinda my age. But we'll save that for another trip. It was still nice to see Grandma and Christa, I last saw them when I was in a box in the hospital, so I don't really remember it to well. I was only 3lbs the last time she held me, so she had her work cut out for her this time! We hung out with the Shay's all weekend long, had dinners together, went bowling (well, I just watched), went shopping, visited people, played cards (again, I just watched/slept) and went to my appointments up at Mayo.

And, the last thing I'm gonna write about tonight (cause my mom wants me to go to sleep) is DAYCARE. I started going to day care 1-2 times a week. It was kinda fun and scary at the same time. There are other kids there, and it can get kinda loud at times, but it is fun hangin with people my own age. The ladies that watch me are pretty nice. My mom had to teach them my feeding stuff - they are still learning and had to call my mom 3 times the first day I was there. But it is getting better each time I go. I think I caught a cold, cause I have been more stuffy than usual the last week - I mean, stuffy like sneezing snotts out left and right. There were even a few nights that I could breath and so decided that my parents shouldn't get any sleep. I cried a lot and threw up a lot. But I am feeling better now cause I am sleeping through the night again, for the most part.
Well, I think I am going to call it a night. I have to get up early to decide if I want to wear Badger Stuff, Packer Stuff, or Brewer Stuff to daycare tomorrow!!!! GO WI TEAMS!
Lots of Love, Conner Shay :)
p.s. Rose, my mom and dad said that you would be proud to hear this - my new fav sound that just makes me crack up is the clanging of silverware on glasses/plates.
p.s.s. In September we celebrated my parents 5th wedding anniversary. We went out to dinner and then a movie as a family. It was my first time to a movie, and truthfully, I slept through most of it. But my parents were smart and sat in the back so they could do deep knee bends if I started to fuss. And.... it was my mom's Golden Birthday! And both of my Grandma's had Birthdays too, but my mom said I can't say how old they turned. So we'll leave it at that. G'night
Well, I went in for my 15 month check up last week. I was feelin pretty good about thing, but they took my weight and I had to cringe...... Only 17.5 lbs. Insert sad face here. I was really feelin like I was gonna hit 20 lbs AND I think my parents thought I was finally gonna hit the growth charts. No such luck. I'm thinkin its cause I'm throwin up so much, not keepin my calories down so to speak. My head circumference inched up to 38 cm and, on the bright side, my length jumped up to 28 in. Still sittin at the 0% for all categories, but who really cares. So I still have some work to go, well maybe more than just some. Oh well. Speaking of working, I am still waiting for my teeth to show up. I am very close, my mom keeps sayin she can see 2 little buds (whatever that means).
