Well, this is a belated entry... Gabe is now 8 1/2 wks old and I cannot believe how quickly these few months have flown by! He's got an appt next week and I can't wait to find out his measurements... He is still sweet as ever... He smiles at me often these days... and he has a way of doing it RIGHT when I most need it... when I am SO tired or overwhelmed, that little fella just give me the sweetest grin and I melt! In the last week... 6/7 nights he's made it all the way through... I am scared to write that b/c everytime we mention this... things change... BUT, I'm just so proud of him!
We are having a few problemos with breastfeeding... have had thrush twice... and today diagnosed with mastitis.. have a yucky fever and chills and flu like symptoms... but the antibiotic is supposed to help really quickly... and in the meantime I'm enjoying some much needed rest with baby Gabe... Jay took Jayce out this am to pick a pumpkin out and then they watched football! Nanny was sweet enough to take Jayce for the evening... I am really hoping and praying this will clear up... he is such a good nurser... and he actually had one bottle of formula on Friday because I am not a good pumper and I wanted to see how he did with it, and the poor thing had gas and was fussy all night... and it even was soy, supposed to be easy on their tummies... SO, I am kind of afraid to give him anything but... but it is tiresome and these infections are no fun... I'm hoping things are on the up now though!
