Ivo says



When he's upside down, Ivo proclaims, "UPSIDE DOWN!" When he returns to an upright stance, he proclaims himself to be "UPSIDE!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
During the past week, Ivo has napped 2/7 days.

Also, I found out another thing(s) wrong with me; thrush which repeatedly brought on bacterial mastitis. Both of these SUCK. I will not go into details at this time about how inconvenient and miserable this has been. I will say that Burl drank 2 bottles of formula yesterday and I have finally gotten meds. The dr kept telling me to wash with water- and use vaseline on Burl's mouth, bum and my nipples. Though bathing Burl after each poop consumed a huge amount of time, it proved ineffective in clearing up his fungal rash or addressing any of our other concerns.

This has likely been going on since I had the d&c (St Patrick's Day, I think) which is why it's been excruciating to breastfeed and my energy has been low. Hopefully this is the last hitch in these days of forever postpartum. It's all cramping my style!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So I haven't had time/energy for anything productive just maintenance. No blogging, no email, no phone calls, no fine-tuning or taking pictures etc.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
However, we are positive things are getting better. The boys are great and I've stopped weeping at night:)

Burl got his 3rd hepB vaccination last week. Will post his vitals asap. He'd BIG! He smiles a lot - he babbles too. Before I forget, he changed from New Born to Small diapers at 4 weeks. He's grown right out of most of his New Born clothes. He pushes down with his legs when I hold him in a standing position. He turns his head when he hears Ivo, Ryan or my voice. He makes and maintains eye contact better than many adults I've run into! He's wonderful.
