Hi All,
Well, since Caden's been off the oxygen it feels like our schedules just got busier! Last Tuesday our poor little monkey had to go for his 6 week immunisations. He had to get a different injection to the one the state supplies because one of the side effects of the state's one can be epilepsy, and because Caden is on the Phenobarb, we obviously can't have that. The plus side is that he only has to get one injection instead of two, but the down side is that it's very expensive. But our warrior was so brave when the nurse injected him. He only gave one cry and that was it. However, the couple of days to follow were definitely not easy. He didn't get a fever, but he definitely had an overwhelming tone of general unhappiness. After a couple of sleepless nights he finally settled. On Saturday I went to Loren's baby shower while dad looked after baba, and later that day our monkey went to Ouma Rina for about 2 and a half hours. Wes and I met up with some friends and the first hour felt like it would never pass!!! I can't believe how difficult it is to leave him. When we went to pick him up though I saw all my worries were for nothing because he was so peaceful and sound asleep! On Sunday morning we went to uncle Pete on the farm, and what a new experience it was (for both of us). While Caden was loving the fresh air, I was fidgeting like a maniac, watching out for spiders, boerbulls and all sorts of other "wild" nature things! Eventually I settled and we got to enjoy a beautiful day outside, with such fresh air, something we're not use to anymore! It was also so great seeing Peter again! We got home and had a great rest after a big lunch, the way Sundays are supposed to be! Yesterday I went to go show our boy off to all the people at Vista. It's always so nice to see people oohing and aahing over your child. We had a lot of prayers from their side, so it was nice to show them the result! Later in the afternoon ouma Rina had to give him a Synagis injection to protect him from a certain kind of flu. And once again he gave about two big cries, but as soon as the needle was out he was quiet. Thanx so much ouma, I know it was very difficult for you to do, but we appreciate it lots and now baba is protected for the winter! Today I'm packing baba's newborn (yes, he's in newborn clothes now, even though he still drowns in them) out. I just realised again how blessed we are, because his cupboards are almost too small for everything!
Anyway, hope everybody has a great week! I'm off to feed the little monkey now!
Lots of Love

Caden, Was dit nou lekker om te hoor wat die Vista mense van jou sê! Die MD (Gerhard) dink babas lyk gewoonlik geslagloos, maar jy lyk defnitief soos 'n ware seun. Christo het gereken babas stink en is 'over rated' - totdat hy jou gesien het. Hy dink jy ruik lekker en is voorwaar 'n mooie baba. Daar was 'n paar opmerkings oor jou bekkie-bek wat nes jou ma s'n lyk, en verder is jy natuurlik jou pa uitgeknip. Soos jou ma sê, daar was baie oe's en a's. Dit het my sommer 'n warm gevoel om die maag gegee. Dit was vir my interessant dat die swart kultuur nie aan iemand se baba vat of optel voor hulle ten minste 3 maande oud is nie. Vir die eerste maand kom familie en vriende ook nie in die baba se kamer nie - al is hul voltyds gebore. Ek dink jou ma sou daarvan gehou het!! Sy kan dit nie verdra dat vreemdes met hulle kieme en... sommer net aan jou vat nie! Jou pa probeer sy bes haar rehabiliteer - maar ek dink dis verniet - dit sal eers gebeur as jy nog 'n paar kilo's opgetel het.
In elk geval - ek het die inspuitery baie traumaties beleef en wil jou net inlig dat dit nie 'n gratis diens was nie. Ek gaan eendag my betaling terug eis - ek wag net totdat jy kan begin 'negotiate'!!
Lief jou baie - lief selfs jou ma en pa ook baie,
Ouma Rina
