2 week update

Raquelle had her 2 week check up today. Unfortunitely, she has thrush. That means of course that I have thrush too. So, now we get to deal with that whole mess. I tried to give her the first dose of medicine and she spit it all back out. I'm not sure if she spits it out if I should be giving her another dose or not. Anyway, aside from thrush, here are the stats.

Birth
Height - 19.5"
Weight - 7 lbs 7 oz

3 days
weight - 6 lbs 10 oz

1 week
weight - 7 lbs 4 oz - 41 percentile

2 week
Height - 20.5" - 56 percentile
Weight - 7 lbs 11 oz - 28 percentile

I feel for you in the worst way! I don't think I've experienced a worse feeling in all of my life! My only advice is to perservere... this too will pass! I recieved some advice from someone who read my blog that I'd be happy to pass along if you are interested. Good luck!

I'll take all the help and support I can get, but I don't have your e-mail or phone #, just your blog.

Awww, Becky I'm sorry. :( Maybe figuring it out this early you'll be able to fight it better. I didn't know I had thrush until 6 weeks with Mikayla - like Robyn said - the worse thing I've ever experienced. I'll give ya a call this morning or nap time - and pass on Robyn's number, too. :) She definitely has the most recent experience (and hopefully a success story better than mine!).

Birth Story

Ok, as promised, here is Titus birth story and it's probably going to be pretty long. It actually starts 2 weeks ago with prodominal labor. I had this with Raquelle where I start contracting early, but make no cervical change. We went to the hospital on Sunday night the 8th with contractions 4 min apart. The contractions were making no change, but Titus HB was low and not variable enough so they kept me. After monitoring over night, there had been no progress, but his HB was better. My MW offered to try a cytotec to ripen things up and see if that would get things going for him to be born. I had the first dose at 8 AM and a 2nd dose around noon. They caused my ctx to become very consistent but not incredibly painful. By the end of the day I had made no progress and his HB had been better so we went home. Went to the dr the next day and she offered to induce with pitocin. We said no. Then next Sunday the 15th, I had been cleaning all day and probably over did it (my mom wa...

2 month check up

I don't want to forget to blog about the kids!  When we have a new baby, I love to be able to look back and see how their growth and milestones compare to their siblings! Annabelle is 11 weeks old today.  She had her 2 month check up last week.  We are battling thrush again just like we did with the first 3.  She does NOT nurse well (still),  but I haven't had to go to formula yet.  Every day, feeding her is a struggle and it feels like a long uphill battle. Her 2 month stats - Height - 23.75" Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz She is way ahead on her social milestones.  She already imitates me and will track objects and turn her head to keep following them when they go out of her line of sight. She doesn't tolerate tummy time very well though, so she hasn't built up as much strength as her oldest sibling had by this age.  She is still right on track with what is normal though.  I don't have her paper in front of me now, but she is right about 7...

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.
