Lots has been going on.....

Well it has been a crazy couple of weeks! first of all Colin is doing great:) Growing like a weed! He is doing more and more each day. He has really started smiling and giggling now which absolutely melts our heart. He has figured out me and Matt our who he sees most! He is following/tracking me around the room now. It is so sweet! He is sleeping good. Some nights he will sleep all night and other nights he will wake up between 3:30 and 4:30. It isn't bad except knowing that he can sleep through the night, but I have no fear, he will get this sleeping thing down eventually. Thanks to all those who have voted for Colin. He still needs quite a few to win, so if you haven't voted please do so!!! (see below post for details) For the major news that has been taking over my life it seems.....Colin had a spot at First Methodist, yes what we have heard is the best day care in town. I will be the first to say, that is not so. I was promised a spot and told not to worry about a thing one week before Colin was born. Well I just called up there to make sure everything was still as planned, and what does the director say???? Colin doesn't have a spot I am sorry. I was very, very upset and explained to the director that SHE told me he was in now what has happened and when were you going to let me know? she said well let me check a few things and I will call you back. Well she doesn't call me back for a few days, so I call her back. She wasn't there and I left a message. She still doesn't call me back, I call back again and talk with another lady at the daycare, she says she doesn't see where the problem is, he should have a spot. So I thought good maybe it was just miscommunication. well the director was supposed to call me back for a definite yes or no. Surprise, surprise she doesn't call me back. So I call back again, and she says nope sorry you wont have a spot until the spring. I said the spring, my child had a spot in November now he will not be able to come until the spring. Well I had not put his name in anywhere else because I signed up with them when I was 8 weeks pregnant so I figured he would have a spot. I will admit that is my fault I should have had him in multiple places just in case, but now I don't have anyone to keep my child when I go back to work. I have called every daycare in Columbus, just about, and no one can take him until at least Jan. So my thoughts.....I would not send my child to first Methodist if that was the last place to send him. Oh and those of you who know Jenny Caldwell.... Same thing has happened to her. So it is not just me that they have put in a bind. Matt is back on shift work so he will be able to keep him some during the week and I guess I will piece something together until Jan. ok now that I have gotten all that out....I did have a doctors appt this week in Memphis with a spine specialist. I have been having back pain since I was about 7 months pregnant, but I thought it would go away after he was born and it didn't. So I had multiple x-rays taken and he says it looks like there is a stress fracture on one of my vertebra which is why it has been hurting so badly. He gave me some prescriptions and wants to see me back in 5 weeks, if it isn't better he will have to get better pictures of the spine. So that is my doctors report. The medicine hasn't really helped all that much yet, maybe it takes a little bit to help??? anyway that is about it I guess, oh and Colin hates to go to town to shop, just like a man!!! Every time Matt and I take him somewhere he starts screaming! So we just leave where ever we are so we don't disturb others. He is perfectly fine at our house, in the car (as long as we are moving) and going to others houses. I don't know what has gotten into our little man not wanting to go to public places!!! I guess that is all for now! I will try and post pictures soon. My camera is in the other room so can't upload the pictures!!!
