On the Mend!!!

yep! after a long night last night and an equally long morning i packed up the troops and brought zach in to the clinic this afternoon- he was still hurting a lot and was throwing up so much he couldnt keep anything down- and he was supposed to be drinking a lot to flush everything out and so we werent making a lot of progress :( luckily his dr is one of the nicest guys in the world and he switched some of his meds around and zach is doing so much better now- i think he is actually going to be able to get some sleep tonight! he hasnt been throwing up and he has been drinking a lot and even ate food tonight :) sawyer was so well behaved at the clinic and has been good all day making it easier for me to take care of both my boys- i told him when he woke up that daddy didnt feel good so he needed to be especially good today- i guess he listens to his mama :) also im back to doing no dairy again- i wasnt sure if that was what made his poo look so icky but now im pretty convinced it is...im only cutting the major dairy products- milk, cheese, ice cream, ect. and not worrying about "hidden dairy" because then its possible that i might starve to death...you would be surprised if you start looking at labels how much stuff has milk listed- its usually listed in bold as an allergy alert after the ingredient list and its on seriously evvvvvvvvverything! try to eat a few days with no dairy products- trust me you will miss them- i especially will miss pistachio ice cream :( yummy. i will see you again in 10 months my friend. ( i might try to reintroduce dairy to my diet at 6 months- i guess babes grow out of this allergy pretty fast- then i would only have 4 months of no dairy! and yes- i plan to breastfeed to age one as recommended by the american academy of pediatrics- PLUS sawyer loves to nurse and i let him do things he loves :) its obvious by the fact that he has almost doubled in size in two months. and formula = expensive and i think it smells icky. my milk is free! thats like the best deal ever and i love a deal :)

Little big boy

sawyer had his two month checkup today and he has gained 6 pounds since birth! he was 12lb 14 oz today (6lb 14oz and 19 inches at birth) which put him at the 82nd percentile for weight. he was 23 3/4 inches and at the 79th percentile for height- he might have some hope after all for not being a shrimp like me! his head was still tiny - 7th percentile! crazy! dr. w said its nothing to worry about since it has been consistent and that zach and i probably have small heads...he also said not to worry about the green poo as long as sawyer stays happy. i did say before he was born i didnt want him to have a giant head! well he dosent! sawyer did very well and even gave april the nurse lots of smiles. he had to get three shots which was really not as bad as i anticipated..he calmed down right away when i nursed him and fell asleep long enough for me to run over to the ER to drop off thank you notes from my shower and photocopy the sched. YIKES! im back on the newest sched! april 21 is my 1st day back. once we got home he smiled and acted like nothing had even happened!
as usual sawyer was a big hit in the clinic and the ER- people just love babies! a cute little girl who was probably 2 years old saw him and said "baby!" very happily- so adorable! yesterday at walmart a little girl blew him a kiss :) he didnt seem to notice- either that or he isnt into redheads..im not sure.
we had a fabulous shower last night with zachs aunts/ cousins and it was a blast. sawyer was very happy/ not fussy and got lots of adorable stuff- zach always calls it "stash" when we get home from a shower and he is always amazed at how much stuff we get at showers- we are blessed! one of his aunts and cousins picked him out a swing for the yard and im so glad- i put that on our registry with zach in mind and he was really excited about it when he unloaded the car. he cant wait untill sawyer can play in the yard with him and cooper dog (which of course is what they did while we were at the shower). right now zach is in the process of helping the little steam drain better...or something.
now sawyer is napping on my tummy and i fully intend upon letting him- he had a big day and im all about attachment style parenting :)
