1. Bongo Class
I signed all of us for a drum class today at the library but only Owen and I actually made it to the event. Cameron stayed at my parents to play with Sawyer and Eloise and Mike stayed with Jack so his ears would not explode. It was a fun 30 minutes with just Owen.
2. Monday Night Yoga
Cameron did yoga on Monday night. He was able to choose if he wanted to do a class with just me or if he wanted to invite Owen. It was no surprise when he invited his brother along. After I got home from work, we ate a fabulous dinner that Mike prepared, we dropped Jack off at the YMCA daycare and headed to yoga. They both had fun but towards the end Cameron was fading. ....as you can see in the picture. I was also fading. ...it was a long day.
3. Jack's SECOND tooth
Holy moly he will not put on the breaks. My ever so sweet baby boy has his second tooth. My hope is that after these two teeth we will have a break and then he can go back to just being a sweet baby who doesn't grow up so fast.
4. Routine
I am a woman of routine and with Jack joining our bunch the routine with him as been especially hard. He is such an easy, go with the flow baby so no routine has been easy to pull off. I have absolutely NO schedule for him besides to sleep at night. He never finishes a bottle and I have absolutely no idea when he ate last. I know that a schedule makes things SO MUCH EASIER and I know that I will be kicking myself later..... but for now..... we just go with the flow.
5. Cameron's immune system is the WORST.
Cameron left the NICU on formula. I had FREEZERS (note the plural) filled with breast milk but because of all of his troubles the doctors and nurses thought he should go on formula. At the time I immediately agreed and never looked back. 4 months down the road we saw a Pulmonologist and found out his issues were NOT because of my breast milk but because of his weak voice box. Not even batting an eye we plugged along.
Here we are, 5 years later, and the kid has the WORST immune system. It actually makes me nervous that he will have cancer one day. I know--I am a crazy, nurse mom. who digresses....
Now....I realize that he only got a bit less of breast milk than Owen. But still....it was less.
So now, I am still exclusively breast feeding Jack and I am doing it only for his immune system. And if Cameron's immune system was not so terrible I would probably throw in the towel. Because right now I am miserable.
So.....you can work out that logic on your own. I don't feel like explaining it anymore. Good luck.
