Wow...a whole month has gone by...time sure does fly when you are getting little sleep! Seriously though, it is amazing that Reid was born just over a month ago. We have had a busy month...weight checks rather frequently to start off with, thankfully he's gaining weight very well now by mainly breastfeeding with only taking bottles overnight!! Reid is now up to 7lb 4oz, which is terrific considering he's been sick for the past week, turns out he ended up with bronchiolitis (RSV). RSV is scary for any parent but even scarier for the parent of a newborn, preemie. Thankfully, he's been getting that awesome breastmilk, so it stayed mild and we did not have to go to the hospital! He has this nasty sounding cough but overall he has improved greatly since Monday and I'm very thankful for that.
We have introduced Reid to many of our friends this past month. He's met our neighbors, our close friends, and new babies. He even gets to go to a wedding next weekend! He's a busy little boy! I'm still not too sure how his older brother is taking all of this...just this morning, I had to stop Jack from pulling Reid off of the ottoman. He also tried to sit on Reid the other afternoon. I'm sure it will all get easier as Reid gets older and can hold his own around his big brother!!
Jack has been doing great...he has a blast at school, loves playing outside, and unfortunately is getting over another ear infection. Looks like tubes are in our future...boo. I hope it helps him avoid getting ear infections though, I feel like we have been on an antibiotic forever!
We are looking forward to some fun summer activities and hoping for both boys to be healthy this summer...it hasn't started off good!! :)
