Well, it's been six weeks since Fenix was born. I had my doctors appointment on July 14th, I am healing well. My daily headaches and migraines came back one week after delivery, I started taking my medication again, but it did not work well. So the doc has upped my dosage, warning me that it would make me drowsy. (GREAT! that is all I need, to be more sleepy) BUT, it seems to be working well. I still have not gotten to the dentist to get my teeth pulled, so i did get some antibiotics to help with some infections in my mouth. AND the doctor gave the OK to start back to work on July 21st. (not like I want to start back, but I will be taking the 1st couple weeks easy, working only a couple days a week. Hoping sleep will get better, or I will get used to it)
FENIX
Fenix is not getting much better with sleeping at nite, still about 3-5 hours. He takes ALOT of 10-30 min naps all day long. BUT we are getting him to sleep in the playpen for that time at nite. He can eat 5 oz if he wants to. but he averages about 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours. He is getting HUGE, just a big chunck! He is now smiling without it being gas, he smiles at mom and dad all the time now. I think he smiles at mom more when he poops and pukes on me tho. He is also starting to find his voice, with litte coos here and there, but does have a temper (inherited from mom, I think) and can yell and cry to let ya know when he needs something or when you are doing something wrong. He will have his next doc appt at 2 months to have his 1st set of shots, I will schedule it for the beginning of Aug.
JARETH
Jareth is still loving his video games, computer games, & movies; but also been spending alot of time at Grandma's house this summer. He has a pool and swing set there, so hes getting alot of outside time, and more one on one time. He is also starting to take a bigger interest in art and craft projects. He loves drawing pictures of the family and of Star Wars characters, watercolors, play-dough, & making masks.
We are getting ready for school to start, getting school supplies together. Also have been working on academics all summer to be ready for school, he can now: say his alphabet, recognize & write almost all letters, spell & write his name, count to 12, AND reconize & write numbers up to 11. PLUS, since the addition of his little brother, he has become more understanding, patient, and just more grown-up in general. I am VERY proud of him. He has come a loooong way in just a couple months. I think he will do great in kindergarten this next year!
