Eve's Stats

Eve went in for her month check up.
She's 9lbs now and 22 inches long! Her weight is excellent the doctor says. She's very fussy breastfeeding and I'm going to cut out dairy products and caffeine from my diet for a couple of days to see if those are causing her problems. If not, well doctor said she just might be a fussy eater.

We can't get better

Our household can't seem to get better. My mom, Mason, Eve and myself have been sick. My mom has been sick for about a month and Mason for about 3 weeks. I got a really bad cold or flu about 2 weeks ago and I'm still coughing. Eve got congested and a cough too. We took her into the outpatient kids clinic at Hotel Dieu and they said it was viral and her lungs are clear. She's ok. She does have thrush on her tongue and we're treating that with Nystatin drops.
We thought Mason was getting better but lastnight he woke 4 times and threw up. He threw up 2 times today and has had diaareah. He goes to see the doctor tomorrow and so does Eve for her month check up.
Eve hasn't been eating very well and unfortunately I think I'm the cause of it. I think she may have nipple confusion. We don't give her a bottle everyday and when we do it's just one bottle. She gets a soother when we're out and she's uncontrollably crying. But she'll normally suck on it for a little and spit it back out. I didn't think nipple confusion would happen. She pulls away when eating and she doesn't seem to be eating SO much anymore.
I hope it goes away.

Here's Mason's creation. He did a good job of not dropping anything on to his toes. It's time we got some cupboard latches to avoid broken toes!

2 weeks old

Eve is 2 weeks old today. We're doing well. She went to her docs appt yesterday and she is now 8lbs. Her hair is getting a bit lighter, with a red tinge to it.
She is more alert now, not sleeping all the time. I am apprehensive to hold her a lot because if I put my finger on her face she'll root and want to eat :)
Breastfeeding is a bit easier now; doesn't hurt as much. But she does eat ALL the time. I'm sure it'll get better. I've gotten a television in our room now so I can watch tv for the hour I'm feeding her in the middle of the night instead of just sitting in bed trying to stay awake. I shouldn't complain though, she's a great sleeper.

Mason is doing good too. He has been sick for a couple of days with a fever and coughs. Yesterday was pretty bad. All he could do was lay around and say "BOO BOO" Mason's going through his terrible two's now. All he ever says is "MINE" and he just won't listen to me. Whenever we give him any sort of food he will just crush it. I think maybe he is a bit jealous cause I can't spend as much time with him as I used too.
