Rest at last!

After 2 nights in a row of being up all night with a wide awake fussy baby, we are finally starting to make some progress with the scheduling. I got some good advice off of baby center on getting her days and nights straightened out and it seems to be helping. Since she slept all day yesterday I was expecting another bad night, So when Raquelle went to sleep at 6 pm, Thad and I both did too. She got up at 8 to eat and went right back to sleep. Same thing at 11, she woke up ate for 15 min and was right back asleep. Of course, her mommy and daddy were thrilled because by 11 pm, we had gotten more sleep then the previous 2 nights combined. Her 2 AM feeding was different, She woke up, ate, and actually stayed awake for about an hour and a half. I'll take that over the 8 hours of fussing from the night before any time. So, with the exception of an hour and a half, we actually got some good night time sleep last night. Even more encouraging is the fact that she has been awake today. She was wide awake from 7 to 9 AM and from 11 to 12:30. Hopefully this means we will have an even better night tonight.

Becky,

Did you get my email by chance? I was hoping I had sent it to the right address? I hope things are going better for you these days!

Yes I got your e-mail. We've both started taking acidophilus and I got Patty to add Diflucan to my drug list. I'm considering the gention violet though since the nystatin is making Raquelle sick to her tummy.

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.
