Training Aba

I wondered how Nahum would be involved in EC/TT because when I ask him to potty Shayna he moans about the "work".  I didn't ask much so last week Shayna took matters into her own hands.  She'll squawk when she wants something (nurse, sleep, potty, attention) so I've been making educated guesses for the last 2 months.  She's also only expected me to take her to the potty so hasn't asked others to do it, until last week that is when she started making Aba take her potty too.  Instead of Aba toilet training Shayna, Shayna is training Aba.

We're still on for going home this weekend.  I'd put it at about 85% chance as her liver numbers looked great and her prograf level was right where the doc's want it, but her EBV results aren't back yet.  We don't see the transplant doc's until summer but they still have me on bi-weekly labs.  The reason I think the chances are so good is that Shayna's coordinator sent discharge packets to her Blacksburg pediatrician Dr. Berry and Roanoke GI doc Dr. Hart yesterday for our appointments with them next week.  I stopped by clinic to get weight and height for her 1-year babybook entry and she's really grown.  She's gained 200g in the last 2 weeks to hit 7.446kg (16.4lb) and is 69cm (27.2in) so she's officially out grown her car seat.  (I've got her big girl car seat in Blacksburg waiting for us.)  She's got 585g (1lb4.5oz) to go before she doubles her birth weight (usually done around 4 months) but she's been eating like a horse recently so I'm hopeful it'll happen soon.

After a valiant 2 weeks of 10hr days every day, Nahum submitted the major proposal he'd been working on since January on Friday and a smaller one as well.  It was was wonderful to have him home all weekend for both Shayna and I.  We had a relaxed birthday morning then spent the afternoon with wonderful friends.  We relaxed more Sunday, went for a walk to watch the people sledding at the park (which has an amazing sledding hill), and I got an afternoon nap.  Nahum is just dealing with bureaucratic odds and ends this week so  he can hit the ground running next week with his new post doc in Blacksburg.

I'm debating whether to take Shayna to the Aquarium and Zoo today or start packing.
