Hanging out
This week was a week of hanging out. We only got out of the house this week to go to the doctor’s office. We ended up at the doctor for me and for Ian. After having gestational diabetes, I need to be checked to see if I have type 2 diabetes. I am still unsure if I have it since I need to get some blood testing done, but so far the testing numbers I have done a couple of times during the week look good. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
After my doctor’s appt on Monday, Miranda brought her nephew Liam over for a ‘play date’. At this point, the picture below shows the amount of playing involved, but the adults had fun catching up. Liam’s mom Alicia also stopped by to meet Ian and we caught up about being new Moms. Hopefully once Shaun starts staying home, he and Miranda will have more play dates with the boys.
Hi Dude
On Tuesday I had my first nervous mother call to the doctor. Ian was sitting in his bouncy chair and started to vomit. It basically came spilling out of his mouth, but he smiled after it happened. I called the nurse at the doctor’s office and their basic advice was to wait and see what happens. so I sent Shaun out to get some Pedilyte in case it happened again and of course, he ate fine the rest of the night and no more vomiting. The next day he seemed a little congested and coughing, so I called the nurse again. She suggested we come in, so since Shaun had to go to NY, my Mom came over to go to the doctor’s office with me. The doctor basically said we were keeping the house too warm (70 degrees) and it was too dry for him. So he suggested that we turn down the temp during the day (68 degrees) and at night (65 degrees) and start giving him some saline solution. We have done both and it has seemed to help a little. I am still a little nervous he may have some sensitivity to his formula, so we are going to try the Soy version. Last night he slept much better and only woke up once to feed. Hopefully this is a trend 
We did have another play date over the weekend. Nathan and Sammi along with their parents came up from Baltimore. The boys basically spent no time together since they switched off sleeping, so no pictures there. But we do have a picture of the snow baby Sammi and I made outside. If you notice the purple hat, that is a Vikings hat that I am pretty sure was used in Minnesota to build snowmen!
Here is also a picture of Shaun, Ian and I which we don’t get often since one of us is usually taking the picture…
And finally, Ian did have a few family firsts on Saturday. He helped his Dad win at Scrabble which is the McAdams family game and then watched (slept through) Star Wars with his Mom!!!
Did I spell that correctly?
Have a good week!!!
