Wow. When I first found out I was pregnant, I wanted to use cloth diapers only. I thought, environmentally friendly and when there is a blizzard outside, what's easier to do, laundry or run to the store? Well, I think I made the right decision to use disposable!
Ollie can NOT stand one drop of pee on him. Poop he will sit in for a week, but pee, heck no! He literally goes through a package of huggies (still newborn size...lol) every TWO days. I would have to have at least 50 cloth diapers and waste more water doing laundry every day.
We change him more then I have ever changed a baby in my entire life. The little yellow line on his diaper will be barely blue, just barely and he will have a fit. We can't get a new diaper on him fast enough! Little booger. Luckily, I have enough diaper coupons that I am paying the same price as the store brands each time I have to buy some. Whew. He is still in newborn size. I am patiently waiting for him to jump to size 1. I have so many of those too! We stocked up on 1's more because we thought he would be a bigger baby. Yep, they are HUGE on him still. At his appointment on Tuesday, he was officially 10lbs 2oz!
His acid reflux isn't quite as controlled as the doctor would like, so they changed his medication to Prevacid. He seems to be doing better on it. However, I have learned I need to stop drinking any type of caffeine after about 3pm. His little body doesn't like it and he will still fuss and scream at night when I have too much. It breaks my heart to hear him scream. You know that scream, the one that takes him own breath away.
We are transitioning him to the bassinet, or at least trying to. He sleeps in bed with us and I need to get him out. I think if I had it my way, both kids would be in bed with us, forever. But, I know he needs to be in the bassinet for now. We have had one successful nap and maybe a total of 4 hours of night time sleeping in it. Its not going quite as well as I would like, but, Im trying every day. He and I both sleep so much better and sounder when we are snuggled up in bed together. My little man.....
We had a judicial review (basically a catch up every 6 months on all parties involved with the adoption/fostering) last Monday. The judge asked why the adoption wasn't final yet, called out Wesley House on every one of their excuses and told them he wanted a detailed description of every item that needed to be complete at the next court hearing 11/7 and a reason as to why they are not complete. FINALLY. The adoption is on the right track and the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. Just get off your butts and do something already!
