Adjusting

Dear Teagan:
So we've been home for about 2 weeks now. Some days are easy, others, not so much. There have been times I've wanted to cry just because I'm so tired and overwhelmed by all the work you require. It's not often, but there have been a couple of nights that you've had such bad gas and a belly ache that you just scream and there is nothing I can do for you. I'm too scared to try gas drops. I had them out and ready for you this morning, but you seemed to have cleared your system on your own.
At your drs appt last Tuesday your bilirubin had gone down a little bit and they they said it was breastmilk jaundice and it really is nothing to worry about unless you turn hot yellow. They also think your hip may be coming out of the socket. So this Tuesday we have to go get an ultrasound on it. This doctor that told us this is just about ancient. He was my pediatritian when I was born 23 years ago. Grandma says that he doesn't take any chances with babies and will test everything under the sun if he thinks for a second that something could be wrong. I'm hoping he's just being extra precautious. I don't want you to have to wear a brace thing. But if you do, it's for the best!
Our outing last weekend went well. We got there, you ate then fell asleep until it was time to leave again.
Then this weekend all our family from Ohio is here. We went to grandma's yesterday and it was crazy. Good thing you're such a good baby. You were held practically all day long without a fuss. You did at one point projectile vomit all over mike, but that doesn't make you a bad baby. Then even later on when it got loud and crazy you just slept through it all.
I am producing milk up the wazoo these days. I pump after each time I feed you and I'm getting anywhere from 12-20 ounces extra a day to freeze. Makes me feel pretty good since I know you'll go through the frozen milk like crazy once I go back to work! I would hate for there to be a shortage! I think soon we'll have to buy a small chest freezer or something to store it all in. We dont have that much room in our freezer!
We did our first craft/project the other day. We made clay from scratch and dyed it blue and pressed your hands and feet into it to make keepsake ornaments for all your grandparents for grandparents day next weekend! I'm pretty excited about it! Silly me thought that grandparents day was today, but it's next Sunday, so we may just do them again because they turned out okay, but not as good as I wanted them to!
Alright Teague, time for me to call grandma and see what time we have to go back to her crazy house today!
I love you tons little man!
Love,
Mommy
