Ok Pammie, here's your update with pictures! I've been a busy (and bad) mommy not taking many, but I've stuck my camera in my diaper bag now so I'll be better!
We've been doing pretty well here :) Brandon wasn't feeling well the day before yesterday so I took him to the ped again. He had been wheezing some at night, little bit of congestion, and then threw up an entire feeding (and God bless his sweet self, he never cried! He's so mellow). So the doc gave me an inhaler to use if needed and an antihistamine (says he thinks Brandon might have a little residual gunk in his lungs from birth). He also gave me a script for Nystatin (not sure if he has thrush or not...but giving it to him anyway..and he hates it..lol). I've been giving him eyedrops for a couple weeks now, and he thinks he has a clogged tear duct that will be fine soon enough. The best part of the visit (for me anyway) was hearing Brandon's weight...he's up to 9lbs 9oz!! He put on 1lb 11oz in 2 weeks, thanks to Mommy's milk! It was exciting to hear it's working (tho I knew he was getting bigger, he's finally out of his preemie clothes). He's exclusively cloth diapered (has been for a couple of weeks now), and that's going great, too. I'm sure it's more comfie on him, but he doesn't leak at all! We only do laundry every other day, and we're saving a ton of money!
I'm healing up great...I get a little tired when out running errands still, and occasionally get a throbbing pain at my epi site, but doing great nonetheless. Had some nip issues, but took care of those so I'm good. I have my 6 week checkup in a week, and I'm actually sad that we won't be seeing Dr. Marquette for awhile. He's been such a big part of our lives for nearly 2 years now...he was there for the worst day of our lives, and one of the best days. He definitely holds a special place in our hearts...wonderful man.
Alex has been working a horrid schedule, but is about to be back on his other one soon. It was nice at first, him having 5 days off at a time, but then working 7am until 11pm twice...that's really hard on someone.
I guess that's about it, as far as I can think of...oh, as you can see from the pics, my brother FINALLY opted to come meet his nephew *sigh*. All crap aside, it was nice to see them, and they adored Brandon :) Scott shaved his head (I mean BIC'd it), but he can pull it off...looks good on him (but I was shocked at first...lol). Also pics of one of the wild peacocks out here...it kept coming up to the car, chasing the tire (Kaitlynne was laughing so hard).
Take care y'all :)
