RSV??

Well, Christopher has caught Nicholas' cold and is not sleeping or breathing at night. Right now he is peacefully sleeping in the bouncy seat but will he sleep tonight is the question! We went back to the Dr today and she tested him for RSV. We will have the results tomorrow and my fingers are crossed that he doesn't have it. The poor boy - what else is he going to catch?

The Circumcision

The pediatric urologist does not think another circumcision is necessary, thank goodness! The only problem now is that he pulled the skin that had grown over and now I have to do it everyday for a week and keep Neosporin on it. I guess I shouldn't complain because having to do it again when he's 6 months would be so much worse!

Pictures

The pictures of Nicholas and Christopher came out great. I am really glad that Nicholas decided to be in them and that Christopher cooperated with the photographer! I can't wait to order them and send them to everyone!

Thrush

Poor Christoper has thrush this week. He has been pretty cranky the past few days and I just figured he was changing his pattern and disposition. Then I noticed that he had this white stuff that looked like formula in his mouth that wouldn't go away. When he started crying I could see little sores. I called the Doctor and she said it was probably thrush. I also mentioned changing his formula because he has been so gassy and spitting up all the time. She said that his increase in gas and spitting up is due to the thrush which gets into the GI tract. So the poor kid has been sick for days and I didn't even know it! Now he is on medicine and much less cranky!

The Wiggler

At first I though it was an accident. Christopher would be sleeping soundly on his side, where I put him, one minute and then the next time I looked, he was laying flat on his back. I thought for sure it was just an accident, maybe I didn't put him close enough to the rolled up blanket I was using to support him. It's not an accident, he is purposely moving himself so that he can lay on his back. Plus, he kicks his little feet until the blanket is completely off of him. I did notice that he moved a lot while I was pregnant but I just thought it was because it was my second pregnancy and I was more aware of it. Little did I know that he was going to be a mover and a shaker when he was born!

The Poopster

This little guy is too much when it comes to diaper changing time. You think he's finished and then just as you pull the diaper away, out comes more poop! It happens every single time, no matter what. Sometimes, you have four different poopy diapers all in one changing! It is unbelievable what is coming out of this kid!
