It isnt that hard.

When I first got pregnant or told people I was trying to get pregnant people would tell me "how hard it is". Sometimes it made me wonder if I was ready to make this step in my life. But I knew that I was. The first couple days in the hospital after Shane was born was pretty hard. But I think that was more to the stress of being in the hospital and that he was so small. But after the weekend when everyone went home and Billy was back at work (I was home alone with the baby) everything came pretty easy. Maybe I am just a natural mother. Handling the baby was a bit scary at first but soon I didn't even think about it any more when I picked him up. I would say the only thing that has been hard is getting use to the lack of sleep. On me and my husband. And when a couple has lack of sleep that tends to strain the relationship a tad. Luckily though Billy and I are solid enough in our relationship to ignore the little snips and such. Slowly but surely our sleep has gotten better.

Until this week though. Shane developed acid reflux. A couple of nights it seemed like he was up every night. And he started this gasping for air while he was eating. My mother came with me to the Dr and we learned that he was gasping (it sounded like something was stuck in his throat.) was from him spitting up. So the Dr gave me a prescription for Zantac and  told us some other things to try. So far the meds seems to be working. No more gasping. However when it is nearing the time for his meds he begins to get fussy. Hopefully he doesn't keep his reflux for long. Billy has it pretty bad. But from what I have been told a lot of babies have reflux. Almost as many as babies that do not. It is what they call colic before they figured out it was usually reflux. It can tug on your heart strings when he is so upset. His newest thing is pooping once a day instead of several times. He strains a lot. Which means a lot of grunting and red faces. At the moment he is sitting next to me on the couch.. making those grunting sounds. I just gave him some warm water with Karo syrup. The Dr told me that it would help him with his stool and to do it twice a day.

Yep he just exploded!

Well, I should of waited to change him. (I was already peed on today) Because he wasn't done! lol. He pooped twice while I was in the middle of changing him. So while I was waiting for him to finish going.. he peed all over the wall! All I could do was laugh- because I was happy he pooped. Because I knew he would be content and happy afterwards. Sure enough I cleaned him and changed him (for the second time in the last hour) and went back on the couch with him. He ate about an ounce and then fell asleep while giving me a big smile.

See those bites on his face? I already called my apartment complex and complained about flies. They are suppose to spray again next week. Last night I checked my animals.. they all were fine. Except for Kanaeda. He had a couple fleas. So I doused everyone in flea stuff that I keep on hand. Next week they will all be getting baths then more flea stuff. I see a couple fleas and freak out. I don't understand how some people can bring me their pets and they are infested. Its gross.

For those who have decided to follow my blog or is reading it. I don't usually get embarrassed by things and I like to tell everything. So if things like me explaining about poop offend you. Please close out of my blog and refrain from leaving a comment. Thank you.
