So, it has been almost a full week since I have last blogged, sorry for such a delay! It so hard for me to commit even a fraction of time to the computer when my baby is awake and I have chores to do around the house! Being on a retail schedule is very difficult to have a normal life- I cannot wait to go back to school so I can have a normal schedule.
Today Ethan woke up and was very congested and wheezing like crazy, so I called the doctor, and they worked me in this morning...thank goodness (I have the BEST doctor)! Ethan weighed in at a whopping 17 pounds today---such a big boy! Dr.Doyle listened to his lungs and chest and decided to have a chest x-ray done on him. Fluid was found in his chest so I have to put a humidifier in his room and bulb his nose before every feeding. And of course, the poor baby has allergies, so the next visit, he will probably be prescribed infant Zyrtec, which I hope works. Ethan seems to sniffle around everything, dogs, dust, carpet, etc....his little eyes turn RED :( My husband has horrible allergies and I have bad spring allergies, so its pretty much inevitable that Ethan will have them as well; I hate passing on negative things to my perfect baby. Other than that, the visit went well...he smiled the entire time, at patients in the waiting room and he lit up for Dr.Doyle and she called him a 'hoot'! She absolutely loves Ethan and we love her too...she has been my doctor for years! His personality really shined through today, even with all of the wheezing. Here is a Dyson vaccum for baby allergies that I hope to get one of these days...maybe with some of my tax money, I wonder if it would help any?
As for Jason and I, he still remains un-employed, which is really putting a damper on us financially, however, I know God has a master plan for our family, and I pray we see an opening soon. For me, I got a promotion at Motherhood, as a supervisor, which allows me to make more money! So God has really worked in that situation for me and has really motivated me to work very hard, and I'm so happy that my manager has taken note of that. Also, I have decided against Spencerian because of the cost of tuition, but have looked into going back to JCC. I cannot wait to get back in school; I'm so ready to make a better living for my family; we have done things a little backward, which means, we have to work ten times harder at things we want. But that is okay, because I'm so blessed with my life as a mother and a wife! Also, we have to find a place to live--our lease is up in a month! We aren't where we need to be financially, so we will unfortunately be renting again; so i think we will be looking in Mt.Washington, I cannot stand Hillview!
The past week has just been made up of new accomplishments by the one and only, Ethan! He tried applesauce the other day for the first time and made such a sour face. I captured it on film, his very first bite and the facial expressions to come with it! I cant really tell if he likes it or not; it was difficult feeding it to him because so much fell out of his mouth--the whole tongue reflux thing will get better with age. We will be needing to purchase a hi-chair very soon, I just put his bumbo on the table, which worked, but with a hi-chair, there will be less of a mess for mommy to clean! Ethan has also been teething A LOT! He LOVES sucking on FINGERS! He prefers fingers over his teething toys.
