1. Owen lost his first tooth
On Friday night Owen's tooth was EXTREMELY loose. He was scared for us to help him lose it so instead we sent him to bed and hoped that he would not swallow it in his sleep. At 530 Owen woke up and told me he had a tooth ache. I sent him back to bed. At 545 Cameron came running into our room saying, "Mike!! Owen lost his tooth!!" He ran back into bed as quickly as he ran out and so on Saturday morning we were all up before 6am.
On Saturday night I was the tooth fairy and let me tell you -- it was frightening. I was scared that he was going to wake up him up. Not only that BUT I had to take $1 from Owen's wallet for his surprise. Tooth fairy fail.
2. Birthday Party
This year instead of a big party we allowed each boy to invite a friend to go to the movies. After the movies the kids stayed at our house for pizza and cupcakes and we continued to play all afternoon. Sawyer and Eloise also dropped by AND my parents made a quick visit. It was a busy afternoon and great to see the kids with their friends from school. It was also the first time I have taken the boys to the movies. We had a blast.
On Sunday morning the boys and I worked on all of their birthday thank you notes. Glad that these are finished.
4. He is a big shot
Jack is standing. This weekend he mastered pulling him self up and thought he was a hot shot -- he is.
We defrost 2 bags of milk a day to help with supplementing. Some of these bags are from his first week of life and FULL of nutrients. Grateful that I have this supply for him to use.
On Sunday afternoon we were outside with the neighbors and I went inside to start the oven for dinner. I took Jack with me and noticed that a leaf was going down his mouth. I wasn't able to get it out and he was starting to choke. He was still breathing but going in between choking and breathing. I tried to do the Heimlich on him but I knew that since the leaf was laying in the back of his throat that it was unlikely that it would work. It didn't. I was unable to pull the leaf out of his mouth. I thought that maybe I could give him a bottle and he would swallow it down. He didn't take the bottle and started choking again when I laid him flat. I decided to run outside and ask Mandy. She is a pediatric NP. She was not able to grab the leaf either but eventually she could see him swallow it. Mike ran and grabbed the bottle and he finally was able to drink. It was a quick, brief scare even though I knew he was breathing. Grateful that Mandy helped him AND helped calm me down.
Last night we had a LOT of smoke coming out of our oven. We even had the boys go outside. Our fire alarm is linked to our security system and me must of forgot to hit cancel because as we were standing outside I could hear the firetrucks. They showed up. We did use it as a practice with the twins on what to do when there is an ACTUAL fire.
This morning our house still smells like smoke but grateful that it was not an actual fire.
It has been a long week but my mom has finally turned a corner. So so so grateful. I hope that she continues to make progress.
