Day 107!





So I slept great yet again! Mom is getting spoiled. With this new feeding schedule, I've only been waking once! Mom even moved me up to Newborn size diapers because I am sleeping longer....they have Micky Mouse and friends on them. My day diapers are still preemie size but mom found the preemie Pampers Swaddlers with Sesame Street babies on them!....she bought the store out of them!...she is so silly.....I guess their advertising scheme works!

Ok...so my family realized this morning that we didn't have a 15 week party for me last night! Mom sang to me before I went to sleep but Dad and my brothers sang to me in their cereal this morning! I forgave them since technically it is my 15 week birthday until 6:03pm tonight. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN! No Gramma & Grampa or other visitors coming over to sing in some good dessert.....No 15 week singing video......not even a picture! WhAT iS GoINg oN HEre?!?!?! We did celebrate my day 105 birthday Sunday just for the heck of it....but I still like my weekly milestones. We are just getting to normal but we all really missed the celebration....it's important to us.

Miss Kristen, my occupational therapist, came over and had some ideas for us to try with bottle feeding. She also showed Mom a way she could hold me so that I can stretch out my right side of my neck since the muscles are tighter on that side. It is nice that it is nothing too strenuous....just a few tweaks of things we already do and that can make all the difference. We'll see how it goes.

So then Gramma came over and she, my brothers, Mommy and I headed out of town! My first out of town day trip! We went to Rochester to visit Aunt Nancy and Uncle Kevin. I hadn't been out there in a while....since I was in Mommy's belly. We went there and hung out at their house for a bit, then went for a walk and froze our little hineys off....then Uncle Kevin was home from work so we went back for some dinner. We made cookies.....oatmeal chocolate chip...mmmmm Me and my brothers helped. There are pictures but I'll have to get them from Gramma. We then headed home. I traveled really well both ways....Mom was very thankful....she didn't want me being upset about my carseat the whole hour and a half there and then home....I did great....not a peep out of me. It was a great first day trip.

So we came home pretty late and me and the boys were out cold...Mom had to bring in out little sleepy limp bodies and all out luggage from the day....but now I am up and blogging....ready for some yummy milk and then off to bed for me and Mom.

Thank you Jesus for another day....thank you!

God bless you and your family....hug them a little longer and thank the Lord for them.

Yay on the sleep. I hope all the new things the OT showed mommy will work well for you so that you can be rid of the feeding tube.

Yeah for day 107 and several good nights' sleep! I'm with you about wondering about the birthday celebration. I always love to watch your brothers position themselves to blow out the candles. Sleep well tonight, sweet boy and family!
