Week 34 – Day 5

The blog is very late tonight! Brendan had drug changes yesterday which led to a pretty rough morning today and then that gets him off schedule and his sleep pattern gets out of whack. He is finally down for the night (I hope!)

Trevor has had such trouble with tummy pain that today I decided to try him on the same formula that they just switched Brendan to, Gerber Good Start Gentle. If he makes drastic improvement in the next 4-5 days with his digestion and issues, then I will know that he has an intolerance to something I am eating. My diet is pretty out of control because I eat whatever I can get my hands on when I have a moment to think about it. It is a good thing tonight because I have had a 5hr energy drink and two cans of “Dr Thunder” cola to stay awake enough to take care of Brendan’s needs. We still have no weekend night nurse so last night and tonight are all on us. Trevor doesn’t need that kind of caffeine and junk exposure. He is eating solids three times a day now and his milk consumption is going down. So far he has transitioned well, it will be nice to get sweet mellow cuddly Trevor back if we can get rid of this discomfort. I feel pretty good for having been able to give him breastmilk for almost 8 months, but I will be sad to find out that all this time his struggle has been my milk’s fault.

Trevor likes to be upside down now!

Brendan’s swelling is starting to go down and he is looking more like himself every day.

Trevor thought maybe this was a big straw

Brendan felt well enough for a short time today to have some floor time with his bro!

He plays more and more every day. He is starting to use his legs a tiny bit more and is slowly getting stronger.
“Now where is that pesky lion?”

There he is! Nom, nom, nom!

This pose cracks me up!

Hopefully the boys both have a great day tomorrow, they are due!
