Week 42 – Day 6

I felt like a zombie today. Saturday nights are starting to add up I think. It has been an exhausting week! Last night Brendan decided it was the perfect time to pee a fountain when I tried to change his diaper. Neither boy had caught me like that in some time. But I had to change the whole bed out and it seems like every blanket and animal in the bed got it too. Poor bewildered Brendan was probably wondering why he was in a bouncy chair at 1:30AM!

The whole routine was off today. Trevor and I didn’t get out of bed until after 8:15 this morning and the day went by like we were playing catchup.

Speaking of catchup – Trevor’s second little bottom tooth has finally broken through and there is a sharp little razor tooth there now. It is going to be a gamble as to which boy gets top ones first, although I thought Brendan’s left one had cut, he just won’t let me look.

Little Trevor got a painful lesson about trying to roll/crawl/climb off of the changing table. Of course I am trying to wrangle an extremely poopy diaper and he does his magic flip/spin/crawl maneuver and tries to take off. When I grab him, he bonks his eyebrow on the end of the table. Boy was he mad. Initially there was a little raised bump, but it is gone now. The first of many little battle wounds:

Bored with the lunch selection. He did get to try some string cheese bits today, and some little pieces of grilled chicken. He liked them both.

Little Brendan looks super cute in firetrucks!

It was a total shock, Brendan was all about the string cheese. He normally does not put any food in his mouth. If he picks up any taste, he usually jerks away.

He was shredding the end with his sharp little teeth. He did not gag on or spit out the little bits either, he ate them!

I can’t believe another week has passed by, we did a trach tube change again today. It all went smoothly and Brendan is tucked in to bed. His numbers were slightly better again today, it was a relief.

  1. Uh oh – yep the first of many bruises, cuts, etc for little boys!! They do survive them though! Yay for Brendan and the string cheese! Keep up the good work both of you!!!

  2. Wow, lots of different news flashes in today’s post.
    Definitely YAY, Brendan for using those little teeth to shred string cheese! Wait until you have top teeth, it will really shred then!
    Naughty Trevor to try to escape the dressing table. He must barely fit on it anymore! He’s too “busy” to lie still to have his poopy pants changed! Time for potty training!!! 🙂 (not really) 😉
    It’s not good to have Mommy Zombies. I hope you get some better rest soon.
    Brendan does look cute in clothes. Funny how Brendan looks so cute with clothes, and Trevor looks cute when he’s just in a diaper!
    Sounds like the race is on for teeth! Brendan’s speech therapist will be so happy with Brendan’s liking string cheese. He’s making some real forward progress now.
    See you all soon!
    Lots of love,
    Gramma

  3. Were you craving brains? It is really cool that Brendan likes string cheese! The girls were not surprised – it’s an all around kid favorite. Wait until Brendan figures out he can peel the cheese like his tape…..maybe you can keep those fingers busy doing that. Nice bump there Trevor. The first of many, and they usually look a LOT worse than they really are. For both boys, let Mommy have some sleep! You get much happier mommies when they have some rest.
