Sick Baby...

SEGER...

Poor little munchkin caught the bug going around. He seems to be doing better... no more fever, but we still have the diareha thing going on... and we had some quite explosive moments at that. Other then the sickness, Seger still has some tummy issues - they are not as bad as they once were, but hopefully we can get them gone all together. His 2 month check up is Friday, April 3.

Seger has already outgrown his 3 month clothes, and most of his 3 to 6 months too, and we are already in size two diapers. I did put little man on the Wii fit scale, at 7 weeks, and he weighed 12 pounds 4oz - that seemed large to me... so i pulled Kolton's baby book... yeah that little fatty weighed 15 pounds 8 oz at his 2 month check up (8 weeks) so there ya go...

When Seger is not having gas issues or being sick... he really is such a good baby. He is smiling quite often now - and LOVES to stair at his truck mobile on his changing table. I cannot believe he will be 8 weeks old on Monday...

KOLTON...

Oh my Kolton! He just cannot wait for it to warm up and stay warm so he can run around outside- that and he is missing him some daycare like you wouldnt believe... Poor Sue, I dont know how she does it - he just has so much energy and runs around like a crazy person and she has like 4 of him... :)

Kolton did have the sick bug also, but only a fever and cough and only for one day - then he was fine. He usually does that though, catches only a mild case of whatever is going around... thats a-okay with me! :)

The first pic of Kolton below is right after the bathtub, where he decided to use my shaver, to shave like Daddy does... yeah nice huh - I was in and out of there putting towels away - and he never even cried or anything - he was upset because there was "something red in the bathtub" - he is crazy - so there ya have folks - Koltons first cut shaving... :)

Well thats all for now - still waiting on that warm weather... I am sure it will come just as soon as I go back to work on April 15th... ;)

Take Care Everyone!

The first 5 weeks...

Some pics... careful, most are Seger, but two are Kolton.
Even I did not realize how much they look alike... :)

This is Seger about two weeks...

This is Kolton, about two weeks...

Sorry for the delay in updating... busy busy busy... but where does the time go? I cannot believe Seger is already 5 weeks old today. CRAZY! and what a five weeks its been...

We had some stomach issues - started with Enfamil in the hospital - so continued with our free samples of such for about the first week after we go home, then we switched to the generic Meijer brand (which is all Kolton used btw)- and that was a no go, Seger had horrible gas and was screaming his face off - but he was fine on the regular Enfamil - so i did not think it was a lactose issue - so switched him again to the generic of the Enfamil for gassy babes - nope - that wasnt it either - and now he couldnt poop - so, switched him back to regular brand name Enfamil - I mean that worked for the first two weeks of his life - so it had to work right - wrong! Still gassy - still fussy - still having poop issues - so i had a sample can of the Similac Isomil - it took about two days - but it seemed to help, and it did infact help- we are on our second large can of the generic of the Soy and Seger is doing great - so is he actually lactose intolerant? - I do not know - but I know for now he digests the soy much better - so SOY IT IS!

Seger is sleeping is getting way better now too. Although that was not the case for Grandma my first night out. Grandma kept Seger overnight so I could go out for my birthday, and Kolton stayed with his fav sitter Emily. I had a blast - Grandma did not - Seger was up every two hours for her, and we had my cousins baby shower the next day too... Sorry Grandma! For me now though, he will usually sleep from like 11pm until 4am now, sometimes less, sometimes more- which is great compared to the first couple weeks -

I am doing okay - still not happy with my weight, or really just my huge mom pouch - i cannot seem to get my stomach down, and still cannot fit into any of my old jeans - I will punch someone... i did by the Wii fit with my birthday money - and the Jillian Michaels game/workout - so hopefully she whips my but into shape... I have done it twice so far - went down a whole pound... yeah - but its neat, it keeps track of your weight - how often and how long you work out, how many calories you burn, etc... pretty cool - Kolton got on there today - he has actually lost some weight according to that and is down to 42lbs (pick him up once though - he feel like he ways 60lbs) I will have to put Seger on there and see what he is up too - he went up a whopping oz from 7lbs 15oz at birth - to 8lbs even at his first check up - but he is a pretty good eater, so we shall see... his next appt is 04/03/09...

Other then that we are still just trying to get into the groove of things - i know we wont completely be there until I go back to work in April, but we are working on it... Just trying to enjoy my last month off - I will miss my boys for sure, but I think I will be more then ready come April... :) Oh, and we are sick of this cold yucky weather... We want Spring!!!! :)

OY - and Seger's hair is starting to fall out in front, so he has the crown thing going on, and he looks like a tiny old man sometimes - hilarious!
