No lunch! ? WTF? ?


Well, it is my third week back to work and technically yesterday was hubby's second full day with Jacob and I can honestly say that I'm NOT impressed by Daddy's parenting skills! When I got home yesterday, Jacob came running over with a huge smile on his face (which I love) but all he had on was a onesie, not a huge deal because it is summer but it was a little chilly out yesterday and his legs felt cold. But I know that wasn't the reason why he had no pants on, it's because it is easier to change a diaper when you don't have to worry about putting pants back on and Dad is kinda lazy that way. The thing that ticked me off the most was when I asked what Jacob had for lunch and Hubby said "yogurt", and I stared at him waiting to see what else .... but no there was nothing else, just yogurt!! :o And when I looked at him funny and said you have to feed Jacob more, hubby just responded with "he wasn't hungry" which I know the only reason why he wouldn't eat more is because he had too much milk! So I said that, you are giving him too many bottles and not enough food - now he is going to wake up in the middle of the night!! And guess what happened .... Jacob was up at 12:30am starving! Apparently I need to make Jacob a lunch when I make my lunch and label it! It's not like we don't have food in the fridge and there are bananas on the counter !?

I also apparently have to be more specific when I ask hubby to help with chores. I asked him to trim the hedge and tree by our front door cause it's hard to walk on the sidewalk with all the overgrowth. So I came home and yes, he did trim the hedge and tree but only by the front door ? What about the rest of the hedge? It looks like crap! I don't understand why he didn't trim the entire hedge since he had the trimmer out it wouldn't have been that much harder!? I also asked him to vacuum which he did but not the rug in Jacobs room or by the back door so now I have to haul out the vacuum to do the floor he missed?! grrrr
I slept like crap last night, even though I tried to go to bed early (9:30pm) I couldn't fall asleep till 10:30pm and then hubby got home at 11:30, then Jacob was up at 12:30 and it took me till 1:30am to fall back asleep just to get woken up again at 2:30am by some kids outside setting off crackers (sounded like gun fire!). I'm beat, and even though I have tomorrow off I won't be able to sleep in or have a break cause hubby won't be home to help so I will have to go visiting or shopping to pass the time!? I'm sure it will be a very long day!

6 weeks


Well - we are in week 6 and I think Jacob is growing and changing lots! He has more control over his head now (building up his neck muscles) and he is starting to grab things that he means to grab. I can tell that he knows my voice and will follow it with his eyes, he is "talking" way more then before and I think he makes a new noise coo everyday?! Next week we have our 6 week appointments and then the week after that is his immunization and my surgery! That week will be a crappy week for both of us, I hope hubby realizes that he will have his hands full?! This weekend we are going to the annual slow pitch tournament out of town and I think I have everything in order for that!? I bought Jacob a little "Cars" (the movie) suitcase for all his clothes and stuff that he might need. The good thing about camping at the ball tournament is that it is still in the town so if I did forget anything I can run to the grocery store or Wal Mart to pick it up. I'm sure I will have to go there at least once!!



We changed the formula Jacob was on, originally it was Enfamil A+ but it seemed to make him constipated so we switched to Parents Choice (Wal Mart brand), which is a lot cheaper and it seems to agree with him more. So yesterday I went there to get more and I seriously stood in front of the formulas for about 20 minutes trying to figure them all out?! I noticed this time that there was a "regular Parents Choice" formula and beside it was "with Iron Parents Choice" ~~ the cans looked almost identical so I was trying to remember which one we had bought before and then I noticed another one that was "with Iron and Omega 3 and 6" still Parents Choice!??? So now I'm wondering which one is the best one to buy and is it OK to switch his formula again to one that may be better? What if it makes him plugged up again? But I know that Omega 3 and 6 are really good vitamins that he should probably have? and what if it was the Iron that made him have problems before? I know that it's the iron in prenatal vitamins that usually causes problems and if you can't handle it to switch to a different vitamin? It is soooooo confusing, why can't they just make one that is "cow based" and one that is "soy based" but make them the best ones? Why so many choices?!!? So I think I will go back to Wal Mart today and get the one with Omega 3 and 6, they are important and I don't think by adding extra vitamins to his formula will plug him up? ? At least I hope not!!
