Aiden's Checkup, First outing with all 3

We went to Aiden's 2 week checkup today. He's doing good, the dr looked at his bleeding belly button and said its ok. Just to keep an eye on his temperature. He now weighs 6lbs 11oz. An oz less then his birth weight, but his getting back up there. He was only 6lbs 4oz when he left the hospital, so he's slowly putting weight back on.

As for his sleeping scheldule, still getting use to it. Still getting use to his crys. So things around here are still hetic. Today only dishes and some laundry got done, we're so tired today. Vance had a midshift last night, so he's in bed early to catch up on no sleep for the last 24hrs. I'm heading that way after Aiden gets his bath and feeds again in a little bit. I'm very tired, and can't stop yawning. Trying not to fall asleep as I type this. My eyelids are so heavy though.

I went to the ob clinic before Aiden's apt today. They glued the right side shut, where my stitches had open. So hopefully I'll be fine til everything heals. She first checked for infection, and there was none. The q-tip she use to dig inside of me hurt like hell though. I couldn't help but tear up while she was chacking for pus and cleaning it out. No infection though, just red, swollen, tender skin now. It hurts to walk at the moment since she cleaned it out. But I'm glad its not infected and closed up.

Today was our first outing with all 3 kids. Bryce and Caleb did ok til we got to labs for Aiden. Then Caleb started having a meltdown, he laid on the floor crying from being tired. He's so use to being carried around when we use to go out, that all the walking from the hospital killed his little legs. Bryce did very good, he was such a big boy. So it wasn't bad being at the hospital for a few hrs. Vance some how manage to get all 3 carseats in my little car. There is no room in the backseat at all now, but happy to know they all fit back there. We plan to get a bigger vehicle later on.

Well I'm going to get off here, Aiden is up for his bath and next feeding. Then I'm taking my butt to bed til his next feeding.

Aiden, Stitches, no sleep.

(He was very hungry while getting his pictures done, so very grouchy baby.)

Aiden's hospital pictures finally came in yesterday. Including his birth announcements, which I'm mailing out in the next few days. Unfortunatly they messed up the cd-rom order and only gave me 4 poses on disc. When we paid for all 8 on the disc in our package. So I have to call them up tomorrow to correct it.

In other news, my stitches look infected on the right side. Plus the right side is still open up while the left side is closed and scabbed over. So going to call ob clinic and get seen asap. Not looking forward to seeing the dr, I did everything Dr. Jones said. So why its coming open I have no idea, and don't feel like getting bitched at.

The boys are doing good. Aiden has his 2wk check up tomorrow at 3. He has to get some blood test done and all the fun stuff. Vance is taking him since I can't drive for another week, so I won't be there to see my baby cry. I always feel bad when they have to get poked. I know he won't remember but I still feel bad. I'm not looking forward to when I have to take all 3 of them to the dr for shots.

Vance worked his first midshift since Aiden was born yesterday. Which was a fun night of cranky Aiden. Everytime I fell asleep he was waking me up to eat. So barely getting any sleep, tonight is another midshift. Doubt I'll get any sleep really tonight. Vance has dr apt tomorrow morning so not going to get any sleep then either. Plus we have an inspection tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to that. They come in and say they'll fix shit but never do. Its just a big headache.

We had a scare yesterday, Aidens belly button was bleeding. His cord fell out the day before, but yesterday he was screaming and blood was coming out of his belly button. It freaked me out a little since Bryce and Caleb belly button never did that. The dr said to just keep an eye on it, they'll look at it tomorrow. So hopefully its ok, and not getting infected.

*yawns* I'm going to get off here and get some sleep. I'll write again, tomorrow after Aiden's checkup.
