See I told ya I'm not great at keeping up with blogging! haha Well let's see there has been lots of goings on since the last time I blogged. To begin with my great and wonderfully painful staph infection flared up again a little over 2 weeks ago. (damn it hurts!!) I just finished up my second round of antibiotics this past Sunday. Please pray that the infection is gone this time. And of course I keep reading about babies who have died because of the MRSA Staph. So now I am about half scared to give Chris my milk because I don't want to hurt him!! This leads me to my next event...I took Chris to the Dr. on Tuesday 5/20 for his shots and well baby check-up. He is doing great! He weighed 12 pounds and is 24.5 inches long!! This seems really big to me but he is in the 50th percentile for both which means he is average. Dr. Scott said he was not worried about the staph infection and encouraged me to go ahead and keep giving him mama milk, but still I am kinda worried about it! This is such a new super bug that I wonder if enough research has been done on mothers infecting babies via breast milk?? So I have been giving him Lactose free formula the majority of the time. We found out the hard way during the first round of antibiotics that Mr. Manly must have lactose free milk or he will continuously projectile vomit on you!!! haha LOL I also discovered that Target store carries their brand of formulas for almost half the price of Enfamil and Similac. We are talking $25.69 vs. $13.69 for a 25.7 ounce can! I was stoked to find this deal!! They even have a lactose free version!! HOORAY!
On Sat. 5/24 we took Chris to JC Penny to get his first professional pics done! He was such a flirt! He smiled so big for the girl taking his pic! We got so many really cute photos!! I posted a few of them. He is such an easy going kid!
On Sunday we went to Matador to see D.R.'s family for Memorial Day. We had a great time! Got some great pictures with Great Nanny who is 85 with the kiddos. She is such an amazing lady!! Elise rode all over with her Grandad on the tractor. She loves hangin with her Grandad. She told me that they got stuck, she cried, and then Grandad let he get a drink outside! Chris even got to try out the Bumbo chair. He sat right in the middle of the kitchen table after we ate breakfast. haha Very Cute!!
The highlight of my week had to be when Elise asked Great Nanny if she had milked the cows yet (because they raise cattle). Nanny said no we raise those cows for meat not milk. Elise replied "Nah un, they do give us milk cause I saw those bobo's" haha meaning she saw the udders and assumed all udders give us milk!! haha LOL It made me laugh so hard!
Well that's the update on my crazy life! Ally's last day of kindergarten was yesterday. She isn't to sad which surprised me. (I kinda am, my baby's in first grade now) She is ready for summer and swimming! ME TOOOO!!!
