we are still here...6 weeks

hi all....i don't know where all my time has gone. we are 6 weeks out from the swap and doing great. we still have a nurse coming to the house twice a week for labs. still changing meds here and there. owen did end up having a virus that was causing the diarrhea and it seems to be getting better now that he is on a antibiotic for it. his appetite is way better now but his taste buds are totally different. he has been craving sweets but can't really have any because one of the meds he is on makes his body retain sugar. so it's been a struggle to get him to want healthier alternatives now. before he would take one nibble of sweets then turn it down or choose fruit which he doesn't seem to want now. it's just all so weird and different and hard to say no to him. beside all that he really is doing good.

we had a great thanksgiving. natalie and i hit up lots of stores on black friday. we've got the house ready for christmas. i think i'm done shopping for the kids but every day owen adds something to his list. he has been staring at the toy-r-us ad for two days. today i actually heard him yell at liv not to touch it because she would rip it. :-) it's really funny to hear him say because nick and i call him "owen the ripper" because he rips all paper.

it's late and i'm tired, so sorry this is a short post. i just wanted all my loving and loyal followers to know that we are still here. i will get some pics up later this week. have a great week!!
