My little nugget turned 4 Months old on Saturday. Can you believe he’s already been in this world 4 months, because I can’t! I love him so so so much, I thank god every day for him!
Sunday Danny was baptized and he did so good during the actual baptism. The Deacon got a little holy water in his eyes which he did start crying when that happened but he was soon fine and wiggling around again. Their was another couple having their son baptized and he slept through the ENTIRE thing, so cute! Danny was wide awake sitting in my arms, playing with his bib, holding my finger, looking around etc. But he was so good! The crappy part about Sunday was, it was SO warm out. In Massachusetts, you never know what the weather will be in April or May, well Sunday was in the 80s and his baptism outfit was long sleeves and pants. Epic Fail. Mondays weather dropped down to low 60s, why couldn’t that have been Sundays weather?!!!! Poor kid was like a mini heat box in the church and then the Deacon added a blessed bib onto him as well as a crocheted and blessed scarf. Shaun and I took his outfit off him as soon as the service was done he was stripped down to his onesie. He didn’t really enjoy picture taking after the service so we hurried that and then brought him home to feed him and change him then head to the party. We had a combined party with my cousin whose son was born a month before Danny. Another negative impact due to the weather, the hall didn’t advise us that the AC was not working and therefore the hall was like a sauna (luckily we got the hall for free), but it was so bad that the party lasted about 2 hours. It was nice while it lasted but since it was so short, I felt everything was rushed and I didn’t get to enjoy a thing.. especially since D was cranky and still sweaty. People were bummed that I didn’t have him in his baptism outfit and I was a bit embarrassed not doing so, but I couldn’t torture my son that way in the heat. He did receive a beautiful cross on a necklace from his godparents my sister and her boyfriend. 🙂 He was cranky the rest of the night, so thankfully we were home and comfy by 6pm.
Monday morning was Danny’s 4 month appointment. He weight 13lb 13oz and was 25.5in. He’s skinny but long. For his weight he is in the 17th percentile, not sure what his height is. My son is not all skin and bones and I hate that they put them in percentiles, luckily they haven’t mentioned his weight being an issue. I talked to this doctor about his bathroom issues and she suggests I bring in another poopie diaper to be tested for the milk protein allergy. She said things could have change since his first test when he was only a month old. This visit he had to drink some weird drink of medicine and then get 3 shots. He did so good but he did let out a good crying during the shots but he calmed down shortly after and fell asleep on the car ride home. He napped most of the day yesterday but I did sneak in tylenol here and there since he felt a little warm and had a drowsy look in his eyes. He was so cuddley though and I’ll take all the cuddles I can get.
This morning I woke up engorged, surprise surprise!! I called my LC and she recommended using cabbage to cool off the breast and get D to nurse on that side. How awkward is sticking cabbage on your boob and walking around like that?? LOL. Anyways, I’m probably going to get engorged again if he doesn’t wake up soon since he napped late and now is going on a 3 hour nap. (But the nap is much needed). Hopefully later today I’ll take his 4 month pictures since I haven’t been able to. 🙂
Booze, Boobs and Babies!
