Isaac/pregnancy update

Yesterday I took Isaac back to the doctor. He's had a cold for over a week and he can't seem to shake the cough and congestion. This is what he had back in January and February. His chest really rattles and he wakes up at night coughing. The doctor let me listen to his chest. It sounded like a little squeaky mouse in there and the doctor said that indicates wheezing. He said Isaac is too young for them to be able to tell, but he could be developing asthma. If he continues to get this cough and congestion every few months, they will want us to do nebulizer breathing treatments on him at home. So he put Isaac back on zythromax for 5 days and prednisone for 10 days. I hope he gets better and I don't need to take him back again. Poor guy.

I hit the 30 week mark yesterday which is pretty cool. That means only 10 weeks until my due date. I am hoping I either deliver before July 7th or on July 7th. While I had Isaac at the doctor I had the doctor check the heart beat and everything because I hadn't felt the baby move in about 10 hours unless he did it in the night and I never felt it. The heart beat was at 157 right where it should be. He told me to go home and have some sugar or orange juice and the baby should start moving again. Well that did the trick, within about 10 minutes baby boy was moving all over the place. I think I'm just to the point where every little thing makes me a little paranoid. I guess that's the Mommy in me. We're getting closer now!!!!!

Great Grandma W

Sunday we went over to Ross' Grandma and Grandpa's house to celebrate Ross' Grandma's birthday. We had a good meal and good time with family. Lots of kids there. We tried to get a picture of all the Great Grandchildren together. Isaac and Drew are the youngest. Drew is about 9 weeks younger than Isaac but they are close to the same weight. Isaac is "chubby" and Drew is just "long". They are cute though aren't they?

Happy Half Birthday Isaac!

Today Isaac is 6 months old. Yesterday I was going to get his 6 month pictures taken but he woke up with a bad cold so I decided to try and rig something up myself and get his pictures taken when he's 9 months. I think some of them turned out okay. Even though he's not feeling the best, he sure is a happy baby. Wednesday will mark 180 days since Isaac has been in our home with us. We will be able to start the adoption finalization process. Hopefully we'll get a court date within a month or so. Here's our beautiful boy!!!!

Isaac's 6 month update/28 week update

Well both Isaac and I had check ups today. Isaac measured in at 16 lbs 10 ounces and is 26 1/2 inches long. What a growing boy he is!!! No wonder he was too long for all of his sleepers. Ha!!!! Isaac started sweet potatoes last weekend and he absolutely loves them. I think we'll keep him on them a couple more days and then try squash or carrots. Isaac is also officially rolling over as of this past weekend. Now everytime we lay him on his back and we come back, he's on his tummy. What a silly boy!!! Isaac has been having some diarehea off and on for a couple weeks but the doctor said just to watch it for now. Not sure if he is getting teeth or what his deal is.

I am 28 weeks today but measured in at 29 weeks so I am hoping this little bugger will come a week early. I had my glucose test today which came back negative so I do not have diabetes, thankfully. My iron levels were normal too which is a good thing. He is a little concerned about the pelvic pain and wants to make sure there's nothing wrong so I have another ultrasound tomorrow. I will be anxious for that and it will be nice to confirm once again that he is indeed a boy!!!

Look what Isaac is doing

Isaac is learning to roll over. He started this on Wednesday and gets so close. He just has to figure out how to get his other arm out from under him. He gave up on the tummy to back rolling and seems to like back to tummy better. It's amazing how much he has grown this past month. He's been wearing blanket sleepers to bed. I went up to get a thin sleeper for him the other night as his room is getting warmer but would you believe he is too big for all of the 3-6 month sleepers??? So I guess we need to shop for some more bigger sleepers.

Here are some pictures in his cute Tony Stewart outfit from Grandma and Grandpa B.
