This week has been a little bit of a whirlwind! We were home in Lewistown over the weekend for the grandkids photos for my mom. The pictures went well! We are very excited to see how they turned out! We should have them in about a week!
I ended up getting sick over the weekend with a sinus infection/flu bug. It wasn't fun and I ended up missing a day of work this week. Unfortunately now I have passed it on to Ryan and he has been feeling miserable! We are so glad that Connor has seemed to stay healthy! Between talking to his doctor and reading a bunch of articles, it seems like breastfed babies are usually the only ones in the house NOT to get sick! I'm very glad to be breastfeeding him this time of year! Hopefully we can keep it going!!
Connor had about a week and 1/2 where he was getting up in the middle of the night to eat. The past two nights he has been back to his old self! He'll wake up usually between 5-6 to eat and then usually go back down until 7am. He still isn't really liking the bottle if I am around, but that's okay. He has shortened his feedings down to about 5 minutes (it used to be about a 40-60 minute process) so it isn't really causing me much of a sleep deficit! I am SO thankful for that! Connor's 4 month doc appt is coming up in about 2 weeks. We are excited to hear when we can start cereal. I'm thinking they are going to tell us either 4 or 6 months.
Ryan and I are going to a dinner theatre tomorrow night with our friends Joe & Katee. It is Halloween themed, so we are dressing up. We bought costumes last year but I had just found out that I was pregnant and didn't feel like going out, so we are wearing them this year. We are going as a 1920s gangster and flapper girl! Ha ha. I'm sure we will take pictures!
Next week is another busy one! I work Monday and Thursday, on Tuesday I'm spending the day with Jenna & baby Jameson, on Wednesday Connor has a playdate with Miss Khloe who is about 8 weeks older than he is, and on Friday we are meeting Libby & baby Emily for ice cream! Libby and I are going to dress the kids up in their Halloween costumes for our ice cream date! It'll be good for us to go out and about!
I am pretty positive Connor is teething. I read that babies can have symptoms of teething for a few months before the first tooth pops through. He is chewing on everything -- his fingers, bottle, pacifier, us! Ha ha. This is definitely something new. And, he has occasional crying fits where it seems like he is in pain! We think we might see two little white buds popping through, but since it's our first time going through this as well we really aren't sure what to look for....I hope this little sucker pops out soon!! Poor guy!
Happy belated birthday to my Nana who turned 88 on Monday!!!:)
Below are a few pictures that we've taken in the past week or two!
