Week 11 – Day 5

Funny how in a day with no obligations, it is so easy to get nothing accomplished. Bill was a very busy bee today, doing the yard work, organizing in the house and making a trip to the dump so I can’t say nothing was done. I thought I might have time to take care of some things on my own to-do list, but the boys were a handful.

Brendan had a pretty rough day. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was crying and we could not really figure out why. I had a few moments where I was able to get him comfortable but then he would get a little cough – caused by the dry air flow from his oxygen – and he would wake up again. He was pretty overtired when he was awake, hopefully he will sleep very well tonight.

Trevor did well today, except that he randomly forgets how to drink sometimes and had a few big sputtering coughing episodes while feeding. He gets so excited when you start to feed him, he really needs to settle down before eating. He has lots of quiet awake time and makes some very amusing faces.

Trevor likes to kick his feet up and watch his mobile. We won’t go in to why we don’t snap the top snap on his jammies, I think that is clear!

I am reeeeally concerned about what the baby in the mirror might be telling him to do!!

We will do anything to try to make a baby comfortable, including wrapping him like a taco in a pillow and propping him up. He was able to settle down and sleep like this for about 30 minutes.

Brendan allowed me to hold him for a little while

A brief period of happy Brendan, with a little bit of Trevor noise in the background! (and that isn’t a censor beep, it is the low battery warning on my phone that popped up!)

  1. Wow, it looks like “Trevor in the mirror” has some naughty ideas! But Trevor seems to think it is a great idea, whatever it is!
    Kidding aside, the pictures are adorable as usual. Sorry that Brendan had a bad day, it might still be a little reaction from his injections.
    I hope when I get there, you will have the time you need to get your “to do” caught up. I can’t wait to hold those babies again.
    Hope tomorrow us a better day for Brendan and all of you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way.

  2. Good evening from the East Coast! Just loved the pictures and the video! Gramma is right, those shots, albeit necessary, can make the happiest baby, cranky pants! Good luck! And Trevor probably thinks he’s a triplet (himself, mirror friend and Brendan)..hope he won’t be disappointed when reality hits..ha, ha. The boys look wonderful!! Said prayers in church again today! Sending love and lots of hugs!! 🙂
