Gasp! Going Week 3 at home!!

It's official, we've hit the second longest stint at home - tomorrow it will be three weeks! (The longest stint so far has been 6 weeks, between the months of Dec-Jan). Not that Wyatt hasn't had his health issues, in the last three weeks he has thrown up blood, had fevers, constipation, coughing, runny nose and teething.

Wyatt's Gtube site has some pieces of skin growing around it, but I'm not too sure if that's a good or bad thing. We may try to have Wyatt seen by his PED before the end of this week, just to make sure everything is ok. He hasn't had a fever, but he goes through bouts of discomfort, and it's hard to say if it's normal baby stuff, or if it's his operation site.

We got some good news from CCAC last week, they are to increase our nursing hours an additional 12 hours, which means Barbara will see Wyatt for three of his 10 o'clock feeds, and five of his 2 o'clock feeds. Mom is very excited! And I'm certain if Jude understood that it now means mom gets to spend that much more time with him, one on one, he'd be excited too!

Wyatt and his chiropractor, Dr. Hazel seem to be a good match. Wyatt loves going to the chiropractor, and having his adjustment. He is very talkative after the session, usually poops, and then falls asleep. Luckily, mom doesn't have to make the trek into Kanata, dad does it!  Which is great, because it means I get 2 hours of uninterrupted peace and quiet to pump, do laundry, dishes, get our daughter ready for school. Oh, and he's also happier after his sessions, and sleeps better.

On a side note of normalcy, we went on a family outing this Sunday, and it was utterly, uneventful. The kids had fun with clowns and balloons, bouncy castles, dad showed the kids different army vehicles, and mom took pictures! It was a tonne, of cheap, wholesome, family fun at the Military Family Appreciation weekend. We'll definitely be going there next year; for both days!

 We also had one of those rare outings to his grandparents, nana & pepere:


 He's also taken a huge liking to playing with his big brother Jude; I think I have another boy who loves trains.



Wyatt has also started to 'actively' sign with me, he does 'eat', 'milk', and 'all done'. He's also signed 'dada'.  He has danced on his bum for me, and can go from his belly to sitting position! Here's hoping we go another week without being admitted! Wyatt's birthday is in four weeks, so I'm hoping we're home for it. Fingers crossed!
