Clean As A Whistle


I wanted to make sure we got a picture of Zack's first bath in the big bath tub (I did have just first bath I dont want to give the idea that this is the first bath he has had since he was born). I will get giving baths to both at the same time. I hope it saves on time. I don't really like this seat but I now have the one that I had when Christopher was this small. It is the ring seat. I will take a pic of it when I get it cleaned up. Just got it yesterday. I did cut out some of Christopher, don't want anyone turning me in for kiddy porn. But they both had a good time in the tub. And everyone comes out clean. Zack loves his binky, just can not get a picture without it.

Home at Last

We are home from the hospital now. Zack sounds so much better. He sounded like someone who is horse but that was when he breathed. They did some kind of EPI breathing treatment. It can mess with your heart so he only got a half a dose. After that they just gave him the xophern breathing treatment. They also had him sleep in an oxygen tent with a oxygen monitor on his toe(fun for this age). When Christopher was this age he was put in the hospital for 3 days with RSV. Zack had croup, so he is trying to follow his brothers footsteps.
Christopher did get to practice t-ball yesterday that's what he and Mikie were doing while I was at the doctors getting ready to go to the hospital. I have a couple of days off now(my boss is loving that we are terribly busy), but its not to fun to sit at home with a sick baby, altho he has not acted sick, he has played, talked, smiled and laughed. If you couldn't hear him you wouldn't know he was sick.

T-ball, Eating and Fun Things Like That

We or rather Christopher starts T-ball practice on Friday night @ 6:30, I think its kinda late but i guess my opinion doesn't count. He also has practice at 9:00 the next morning. I have a cold or allergies going on and have to take Zack with us. My mom would watch him but she is going out of town this weekend with my dad, that is if she gets in a better mood with him. So the T-ball field is at the back of the park not even close to the parking area and right beside a creek, so its colder back there. I am so dreading this. But at the same time I want Christopher to get to try things to see what interest him.

Onward to other things, Zack is spending the day with my mother in law. She had Christopher all the time when he was little but he was the 1st grandchild. Dane is the second (nephew) and she spent a little less time with him. But that was mainly his moms fault she didn't want him to go anywhere. Then there is Zack, and I'm not sure he even knows who she is. She never comes to see him, if by some means she comes to our house its to get Christopher or drop him off and is there about five minutes. She would never stick to a schedule for Christopher when she had him and always still lets him sleep in the bed with her. I cant stand that because when he came home he would cry to sleep in the bed with us. When he was little she would hold him the entire time she kept him and he would cry the day he came home for hours. Zack hardly ever cries and I so don't want to start anything like that again.

Now to Zack since Sunday he has been spitting up way more than usual. At daycare he is spitting up his food(not milk) like 2 hrs after he eats it and after he has drank a bottle. Its so weird. He shouldn't be allergic to any of the food, he has been eating all of it for about a month already...I know bad mommy. But he is so hungry he needed something that would last a little while in his tummy. And about his tummy he will not do tummy time at all. He will stay on this tummy for about 5 minutes. and that is it. Christopher was always on his tummy. He would not stay on his back.

We are trying to have a roof put over our porch on the back of the house. Its the door we use to go in and out all the time. Its off of our kitchen. (thank goodness for auto saving) I have called several people out to give estimates. The first people gave an good price but I have heard bad things about them. The second guy will be out tonight to go over the estimates with us. He has worked up several different ways to do it. The other guy wanted $2000 just for labor. I think that is a little outrageous. My husband said he would be scared for the guy to get on our roof. And I think the guy really didn't want to do it and priced it as such. I have another guy who is 2 weeks out from looking at it. I know and can trust him(use to be my boss) so I know he will be worth the wait. But we will see what the guy tonight has to say about the the situation. We are also having someone bring us some churt(gravel that gets as hard at concrete once it settles). Our driveway washes out every time we have a hard rain. So hopefully this will rectify the problem, once we get it spread out and settled down. That's about all for today.
