Grammie's In Town, Jalen's Getting Better & We're Moving to OK!!!!

So it has been a very busy week for all of us...Grammie got in town last Sunday and has been watching Jalen while Jason and I are at work & clinical rotation. She's doing great but is learning that 16 lbs is heavier than it seems and that as good as Jalen is, he still wears you out at the end of the day.

Since I last posted, Jalen is doing a little better, the fever has been gone since last weeknd but his cough, sneezing, running nose, and congestion got worse later in the week and seems to be slowly getting better now. I took him to the doctor just to make sure it wasn't anything and it wasn't, just recommended that we keep doing what we're doing, Little Noses Nasal Spray, suctioning his nose, teething gel and lots of fluids. Jalen has 4 top teeth in and now both bottom middle teeth have poked through, he does bite now (on accident) and yes it does hurt! Nursing him is still going fine though, knock on wood he has yet to bite during his feedings, thank God :)

Lastly, I think everyone knows but I accepted a position with the Chickasaw Nation in Ada, OK and we will be moving there in September most likely. We are going to miss everyone here so much but we are both very excited too and will be flying out there after the fourth of July to hopefully get our living situations worked out. We'll keep you updated on everything as we know more but as of now, we still have to figure out a lot of things, our house here, when I can take my board exams, where we're going to live out there, where Jason will work, etc etc. So plan on coming to viist us in OK next year! It's a cute area and from what we saw it is not flat at all, it is green and hilly and yes there are tornados but from what we've been told, not as bad as OK City. As far as where Ada is located...it is about 1 hr from Norman (OU), 1 hr 15 mins frm OK City & closest airport and 2 1/2 hrs from Dallas. Here's a link to the city's website if you're interested: http://www.adaok.com/
