Almost a week


So it has almost been a week and we are all doing great.
Poor Abby has a really bad cold, but she is hanging in there. She is doing ok with everything. She has been getting more frustrated with things than normal and has been having more tantrums than usual. She has been so sweet to Jack, and does not like it when he cries. She will get very mad at us for giving him a bath or changing a diaper because he cries so loud. She says guy's stop doing that to jack he is so sad. It really is sweet.
Guy has been able to stay home last week and most of this week. I am so happy he is here with me. I can't tell you how much help he has been. He does everything ....without me having to ask! He has taken care of everything for Abby from A-Z. He has taken care of the meals, laundry, cleaning, and anything else that needs done around the house. He has been such a sweet husband.
Jack has been such a sweet baby! He has not been fussy at all. He is breastfeeding really well, and in return we have gotten some nasty diapers. I forgot how bad the diapers can be. I was really scared to take care of his circumcision. I know it sounds stupid, but it looked like it was so painful, and guy does this for a living so i thought he should take care of it. I have only gotten sprayed with tinkle two times which i think is pretty good since i have had a little girl. He has been sleeping at night 2.5 to 3 hours increments and then he is up feeding for 30 minutes then he is fast asleep. He has been in our bed for the last week not something i am proud of, but after i had the blood patch it was really hard to move around so it was easier. The blood patch was to seal up the hole where the epidural was supposed to go but went into the spinal space instead. I am putting him in his crib as much as i can during the day. I am taking abby to school this morning, and i am a little nervous getting both of them in the car and then into school. I can't pick anything up heavier than jack for a week because of the blood patch. Jack had his first doctors appt yesterday and was very very mad. He has already gained back half the weight he lost. The doctor said since his weight gain was so good i could let him sleep as long as he wants. Now that he said that Jack will be up every two hours to eat. Lets just say my little man likes to eat and eat and eat.
