Woke up in the reserved hospital room (that my son's AWESOME nurse got for us) early after getting hardly no sleep so I could pump for baby Julius and get ready for the long day ahead of us. Said goodbye to my little man then headed off to the Social Security Office in Wilmington. Got my name legally changed to Smith =) then headed off to the plasma donation site. Inquired about donating plasma. I can't because I'm breast feeding, but James can. So we'll be going back there. 200-400 bucks a month. Awesome? Chyeah. James wants to donate bone marrow ha... ummm ouch! That shit hurts. But no areas around here do that.
Well then we headed to the pawn shop and made a quick 10 bucks off an old player I had that we were expecting much more for. So then we headed back to the hospital and gave our love to Julius before we left. His billy rubin level is up from 12.2 to 13.3. Not so bad but still not pleasing. So poor baby is still under the photo-therapy light with his tiny little glasses on.
After that we headed home to get our work check for James' ticket he had to pay off and payed it off at the courthouse. Our car broke down on the way and then broke down again when we tried to drive to the Social Security Office down the road. Well we walked there and just prayed it'd work when we walked back.
We got our medicaid taken care of. James, Julius, and myself are all on the same insurance plan now so yay ^_^ We applied for food stamps and are pretty sure we'll get them so that's GREAT. I can finally contribute more to my parents. Then we were going to get my drivers license address and name changed at the DMV but my car is pretty much fucked so we put air in one of the tires that we had noticed was low and headed home.
Pumped again, ate a small meal, did some laundry, did the dishes, started to clean the bathroom, sterilized all my breast pump stuff and then attempted to make dinner but couldn't get a hold of mum to figure out what to make.
Now dad's home and attempting to fix the Ford. Hopefully he can fix it so we can meet James mom whose almost down from Tennessee in Wilmington so she can meet Julius for the first time. James has only seen her a handful of times in over a year now so I know he's estatic. We sent his father some pictures of the baby and got a nice response from him. I saw a glow in James after that so that was sweet.
Everything's going pretty darn well. Julius took to the breast yesterday and it was UBER cute watcing him get pissed and frustrated. He kept hitting and scratching because he wasn't used to the slower flow. He's just so friggen precious in every way.
I can't wait to take him home. <3
