First of all, thank you for all the kind replies to my last post. I didn't/don't have time to reply individually, but each comment means a lot to me.

Elias was supposed to be discharged from the hospital today. He was happy and energetic in the morning. As luck would have it, he woke up from his afternoon nap with a fever over 102 and started ( Read more... )

My poor little boy is vomiting. :( At first I thought he was excessively spitting up. When he "spat up" and it also came out of his nose, I began to worry. He did it again a few hours later after the next feeding. I was even more worried after that. The third time he heaved. I mean, I could see it was coming right out of his tummy. That's when I ( Read more... )

Watch, Elias is going to wake up as soon as I start typing this entry ( Read more... )

I know the pediatrician told me to keep Elias away from public places as much as possible for the first 2 months, but what do I do then? Sit at home and lose my mind? So far I have managed to avoid taking him to public places. The last time I went to Wegmans my mom waited in the car with Elias while I did my grocery shopping. Yesterday I had Hassan ( Read more... )

Amber, I think you jinxed me. So much for a sleeping baby today. :P He took one longer (an hour at the most) nap today. Other than that, he's been dozing off for 10-15 minutes at a time, only to be woken by gas. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes colicky. I've been trying to prepare myself for the possibility. My brother had really bad colic. ( Read more... )

I had Elias Henri on December 25 at 3:08 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 14 oz and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. I'll post more later. My little boobie monster was sleeping on my lap but decided to start screaming for milk. I smell a poopie diaper in my future as well...

I think I MIGHT be in the early stages of labor. I'm going to stay up and time these lovely crampy feelings. I think I'll be so lucky as to have backlabor. Oh yay...as in not. The cramping is very low and circles around to my lower back. I didn't think these could be contractions because the lady at the childbirth class said they start at the top ( Read more... )

I'm 8 days overdue. *sigh* I broke down and cried last night. I think this frustration is getting to me more than it should. I hope it's just stupid hormones. I didn't want to have my son on Christmas but I'm coming to terms with the possibility. I'm crushed because either he will be born on Christmas, or my mom won't be here for his birth ( Read more... )

Finally I have something different to post. :D Grades weren't supposed to be posted until tomorrow, but I checked early since they posted grades a day ahead of time last semester. Well, they're up and as follows: Calc 3 (B), Calc 3 Lab (A), Linear Algebra (A-), Field Experience (A-), and history (A). I'm still bug eyed about the history grade. haha ( Read more... )

I'm getting so frustrated. I know this baby will come when he's done baking, but I'm probably the most impatient person on this earth. I go through everyday being bored out of my mind. I could have probably made good progress on his blanket by now, but I don't even feel like knitting. All I want is to go into labor ( Read more... )
