Morgan is doing so well. She's a very easy baby! She eats like clockwork every three hours and downs 2 and 1/2 ounces in minutes flat!
She had her first peds appointment on Friday. She weighed in at 6 lbs, 7 oz! She's over a pound heavier than her birthweight! She was supposed to have the appointment on Thursday -- but after I got her dressed, in the carseat, dressed again (she spit up all over the seat and herself), cleaned the seat, got in the car my battery was dead! I had accidentally left a door slightly open...OOPS! Thank goodness it died in front of my house vs. on the road!! The office was so nice about rescheduling and luckily they had an opening the next day.
Jack's doing very well too. He has his moments -- but he's coping like a real trooper!! He even started going to bed on his own while I am feeding the baby. He lays on the sofa with his Cars blanket, pillow and Baby Tad. He drifts off without me -- a huge accomplishment!! He loves to touch Morgan's soft hair and help give her the binky. He's so cute!

Jack's neuro's office called n Friday to confirm dosing on a refill I called in. The nurse very condescendingly asked why he was taking his current dose. I told her the neuro ordered it over the phone at our ER visit just under two weeks ago...(as though I'd increase it on my own...UGH) then she said "You'll really need to make it to your appointment in June" when I said "Of course" she said "Well you missed SEVERAL appointments..." Shocked I said we didn't -- we had to reschedule because Jack became ill and the other "missed" appointment was a scheduling error. She was SO RUDE. I told her we are VERY responsible and she basically hung up the phone. So now I feel like our neuro has a bad opinion of us -- even though it was coming from his nurse. I love this neuro and we've always had amazing conversations about Jack's brain and other neuro stuff. I was treated like a dead beat parent and it offended me greatly. I plan on letting the dr know how I was treated. It's hard for me not to hold on to the emotions behind a phone call like this.

We are settling into a routine and getting used to very little sleep. I am depending on too much coffee but I'll deal with that another time!! Jason went back to work a half day on Wed, and full days Thurs and Fri. My mom has helped tremendously! She took Jack to her house for a few hours and spent some time here with us so I could do things like sit down or use the restroom! lol! It's so much fun though. I am cherishing each moment!
I definately think you should mention to the Dr. how you were treated by his nurse. It probably has nothing to do with his opinion of you but sounds like the nurse was taking work frustration out on you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day Wilhelms! Too bad the weather isn't cooperating all that well, but hey, it could be snowing, right? A little rain never hurt anyone, plus the grass and the flowers need it. So do little girls and big boys, like Jack Riley and Morgan Leigh.
ReplyDeleteIt was heavenly yesterday holding that beautiful little bundle of yours. Love those baby sounds and baby smells! AHHHHHH! Love it! She is such a cutie pie and so easy to snuggle. I could have rocked her all day, too bad I had to share her! And Jack, were you really waking up from your nap or did Papa wake you? He just coulnd't wait to see you! Hopefully, you woke up on your own. Although it was great to see you happy, smiling face, even if you weren't quite all the way awake!
Here's to a great day, enjoy it with your wonderful little family!
Love, Grammie
I agree with Mel...
ReplyDeleteGlad things are going well for you; except for the sleep part :)
That is great you've had some help. Lucky you!!
Hey Big Jack, Is that an oven mitt I see on your hand? Were you soooo tired from cooking that you had to take a little cat nap? Cooking wears me out too, that's why I try not to do it too often!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Buddy, take care of that little sister of yours and don't forget to give Morgan her favorite Binky!!
Love Grammie
Ahh, that's so lovely - wishing you lots of quality naps!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes
Absolutely love the pic of Jack in bed with his Tad and "this". Made me grin and read the post about it to my Mom.
