Zach's a nut

He really is! He's so funny. He can roll from his belly to his back, but not back to belly... why? Because he's to interested in his feet! He won't leave them alone long enough to get back to his belly haha. I've also learned he's terrified of bathroom changing tables! It's so funny. When we go in to the bathrooms at church, and he sees the table. He screams and screams and screams until we walk out. It's the funniest thing! But I feel bad for him too. He also likes to lock his jaw when I try to feed him, refusing to eat at times. Pretty funny as well. He's FULL of smiles lately and EVERYTHING is so funny. Like if I'm trying to pat his back to sleep, and I say "Close your eyes" he starts laughing! Little punk! He also sits on my lap facing me, then leans forward and buries his head in my belly screaming. I told Jon I think he's trying to talk to the baby lol. He makes me so happy lol.

hmmm

Hmm... what's going on? Nothing really. We're trying to take walks when the weather is nice. We walked 2 miles in 45 min yesterday. I was proud of us.

For the pregnancy, except for the + from the blood work, I wouldn't believe I was pregnant. Well, except eggs aren't sitting well on my stomach that well anymore in the morning. Not throwing up, just feel like "Oh, maybe I shouldn't have eaten that." I've got a referral in to see a new endocrinologist for my diabetes (10 min away instead of an hour away!). I have to go to the military hospital on the 23rd, where they'll do a basic profile and such, and I guess that's when they refer me out to the high risk OB... The military is sooooo "sit and wait"- it takes FOREVER to get anything. So I guess I'll be like 9 weeks before I get seen. I'm 5 w 3d right now.

Umm... we're going to the philharmonic orchestra on Sat. with Blythe and Aaron, so we're excited about that. I've been making a serious effort of praying a lot more. I've been going to the mom's group at church and really enjoying getting to know some other moms. There are 3 babies that were born within 12 days of each other, one of which is Zach. There's really not much else.

Sick, Sick, Sick

Zach and I have both been sick for about a week. He got the whole running nose/cough thing last Thursday. While up with him a lot Friday night, I got it too, so we've been fighting it. Last night however, he would not sleep from midnight til 5am. I gave up and called the military clinic. They're open 24/7, by appointment. We were there at 5:30. Sure enough, he has an ear infection, poor baby. So we slept most of the day today on and off. He's actually sleeping now, hopefully he'll sleep through the night. Jon's been working nights, tonight is his last night, then he gets 4 days off. I told him tomorrow night, he's getting up with Zach lol.

We've also stopped nursing. He kind of stopped last Monday during the day and was still nursing at night, but when he got sick, he wanted nothing to do with it. I was fine with that. I was tired of nursing for now and didn't want to fight to keep him going. Plus, I didn't want to end up tandem nursing or nursing him while I was pregnant. So, yeah, we're doing gross formula now but it's good that Jon can feed him more now.
