Hard Work!!

This week has been less eventful with Connor but we have been building closets in the basement. When I say we I really mean Donovan. Donovan comes home at night spends a few minutes with Connor and it is back to work, normally I would be helping but I am usually feeding Connor since that is all he wants to do is eat he is really going to be a big kid it seems like he is always hungry! Hopefully the basement will be finished this weekend and Donovan can stop working so hard. Connor is doing well and is growing like a weed and I am happy to report since we started giving him his medication daily we no longer have the lovely event of daily projectile vomiting. Each day brings new and exciting adventures with our little boy and I love being at home to take care of him!!! I just had to add this picture of Connor holding his own bottle!!

Fighting the Cold

This week has brought new adventures into our lives. Connor is still fighting of the cold but getting better but he has continued the projectile vomiting usually once a day. I have tried many different bottles and formula and continous burping to try and prevent the episodes and nothing has seemed to help. Along with the vomiting Connor has been extremely fussy and if I get 45 minutes of sleep a night I am lucky. Finally at a recent doctor's appointment yesterday we figured he has reflux and now is on medication which we will find out if it is going to work over the next couple of days and hopefully we will all be getting more sleep at night. On the bright side Connor is growing like a weed he weighed 10 lbs 14 ounces at the Doctor's office yesterday, he is going to be quite a big kid. We have also been enjoying the more frequent smiles and also him focusing more on us when we are talking and playing with him he really brings much joy into our household and hopefully soon he will no longer experience the attacks of vomit!!! Oh and not to forget the fun picture of our little valentine sporting a cute outfit bought buy grandma Tresner!!!

New Challenges

This last week has been a little rough both Donovan and Connor both got sick. Donovan is easy to handle just give some meds and let it run it course. It has been a little harder to have Connor sick sense I don't have meds to give him and he can not tell me what is going on. We went to the Doctor on Saturday morning when Connor was wheezing really bad and having a hard time breathing, he had not been sleeping his usual for a couple of days and I was concerned since it is RSV season. The doctor checked him out and said he had a cold, and that I needed to keep him upright while sleeping and get a humidifier and watch him to make sure he didn't get worse and hope that he would start to get better. It has been trying as I wasn't getting more than an hour of sleep a night and Connor was screaming and there wasn't much I could do but try to rock him back to sleep. He is starting to get better now and he is not wheezing as bad but we are confined to the house for another week or until the cold goes away hopefully he will be feeling better soon as of now Donovan and I are on high alert trying to watch for signs of him getting sicker. Luckily I have my stethoscope so I can listen to him daily to check how his lungs sound. All these new adventures of being a mom keep me on my toes hopefully Connor will start to feel better and we can go back to getting at least a few hours of sleep a night!!!!

New Adventures

Another week has gone by and we always have something exciting with our new addition to our househ0ld. This week we have now learned always have a new diaper in hand when changing Connor. The last few weeks if he went pee while changing his diaper there wasn't enough pressure to shoot very far, but times have changed yesterday while doing a quick change in our room Connor shot the distance and got all over me and all over the bed what joy it is to once again re-wash all the bedroom blankets and sheets. We will now be a little more careful when changing Connors diaper but I am sure we will have many more of these episodes to come as the days go on. Connor is getting so big and I can not believe that in a few days he will be five weeks old. These last couple of weeks have also been so much fun as Connor smiles more now at us and other people rather than when he just has gas!!!!! We look forward to more fun milestones as the weeks go by.
