*baby is great! He sleeps beautifully and he only cries if he needs something. If he cries it is food, diaper, or pacifer and then he is done crying. The only thing with him is he is not gaining the weight he should. I don't think I am producing enough breastmilk. If he is not up to his birth weight by Friday I am suppose to supplement formula for two feedings a day. I really don't want to do this...I don't want to start with formula, but he needs the weight gain for brain development. So no weight gain by Friday equals 2 feedings a day with formula :(
*According to tracking...I should be receiving my llbean package UPS today! Here is what I ordered:
I got the large one with red trim and my name embroidered on it.
*I hate waiting on UPS...I stare out the window all the time.
*I just pulled reese puff muffins out of the oven...I can't can't wait for them to cool a little so I can eat them!
*Thanksgiving is next week! What????
*Costco opened today. I got my membership last week. It will probably be a zoo so I will wait until after Thanksgiving to go.
*Ok and finally something pretty bad happened last week. My dad came over to visit with the baby. As we were sitting in the living room I hear a loud crash from downstairs. The crashing sound didn't stop. I went to see what it was...it was my 95 lb dog seizuring on the basement floor! (we leave the basement door open all day...my dog roams around, but he spends most of his time in the basement...he loves it down there) He kept seizuring and seizuring. All four legs were stiff and his face was distorted and he was shaking. It lasted awhile. It finally slowed down, but not all the way , and he tried to walk up the stairs to us. He made it 3 stairs and then fell off the stairs sideways. He got back up, but was shaky and walked upstairs and seized on my kitchen floor again. He then walked to the door and we left him out. He peed outside and then seized again. My dad was trying to pick him up to put him in the truck to go to the vets but he has a bad back and I am on a 10lb weight limit for my c-section. He kept trying but it was hard with 95lbs of dead weight that was shaky. He had to set him down once to get a better hold and the dog started walking and then fell over on his side. He then was able to pick him up and put him in the truck and he was taken to the vets....I called my husband and had just gotten off of work so he went to the vets so my dad could come back to my house. The dog had one more seizure at the vets. He had blood drawn and everything was normal with that??? They have no idea why this happened. He is now on anti-seizure medicine for the rest of his life!!!! It is crazy expensive too! The worst thing is I don't know why it happened? We also have 3 viles of medicine for instant relief for a seizure, but they are only good untl the 23rd. This was so scary. What would I of done if my dad wasn't here?
Also, we have a friend who has a yellow lab and he is also on anti-seizure medicine, but he still has a seizure once a year or so anyways??????????????????????????
So scary!
I had to do formula after 6 weeks because I made NO milk. It's a very very hard decision, but don't let yourself feel guilty. Do what's best for your baby to grow!
