Des Moines Trip - #2

Well we headed back to Des Moines for another visit with friends. Rohan, again, was awesome on the ride up (and back). He sleeps, makes a couple of squeaks, and then falls back asleep. He usually starts to crank out about 5 minutes from Tim & Allison's place; somehow he knows he's close. It's really weird...
We had a great dinner (as usual) on Friday night, followed by tons of conversation, and lots of pictures of the babies. On Saturday Mara and Allison headed to the gym for a "Boot Camp" style workout with an instructor. 2 hours later they came back, tired, but glad they went. I'm sure they are both feeling the effects today...:) We met up with the Crawfords (John & Margaret) for an awesome Indian lunch. We went to Tandoor in West Des Moines. They have a great lunch buffet. HIGHLY recommended. Rohan even did some photo ops for them...:)
Saturday afternoon we met up with Nate. He was all stoked because he just found out he had an accepted offer on a house so he'll be moving out of Rick's basement! We also got to meet up with Steph who was in town visiting friends and family from Fort Collins, CO, so it was a great chance to hook up. We all got to sit around and chat some more, soak up the baby presence, and then we had some really good Thai Coconut Curry that Allison made to complete our tour of Asian cuisine...:)
We left around 11:30pm last night from Des Moines because Mara has a Pharmacology exam tomorrow that she needed to study for, as well as a Pharmacology Final exam that is cumulative over the last 3 quarters. Fun! At least it will be good preparation for boards in June!
This last week we had to take Rohan to the Dr. because 3 kids in daycare have Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infections and one has pneumonia. Woo-Hoo! Rohan as a little bit of a stuffy nose, but nothing the Dr. was concerned with. Fluids and a humidifier are what he recommended as supportive care, so that's all we can do right now. Since Rohan was a little early we wanted to make sure he wasn't more susceptible to the infection, but he seems to be dealing with it pretty good. His temperature has been fairly low and aside from a night of stuffiness he's been fine. We did take the chance to weigh him at the Dr., and he was up to 7 lbs, 14 ozs! Barring any weight loss from the RSV, he should be up to 8 lbs in no time! He's already started to fill into some of the clothes he was too small for before, and Tim & Allison think he's even grown a little since last weekend.
We got some great video of Rohan dancing and Cameron doing his "Peanut Butter Jelly Time" and giggling. And as always, thousands of pictures...:) Enjoy!


Rohan's Dance Moves Include "The Sprinkler", "The Cabbage Patch", "The Shopping Cart" & "The William Hung":

Sad to say, I think Rohan is already a better dancer than Gatfly!
