Week 28-29, Kayleb Update and Back to School.

This week was the official back to school week for Jayden. While I had looked forward to getting back to a normal routine, it was surprisingly hard for me the first few days. I realize I haven't worked for months but it was my first not being at back to school activities, plus I missed my little buddy and helper while he was at school. I may or may not have shed a few tears the first few days when Kayleb was asleep for an abnormally long time at nap time. 

I will say I absolutely love or new routines and getting to walk Jayden to school everyday. While I was sad for a second about not doing back to school, I love that I get to be super involved in Jayden's school and be there everyday to pick him up and drop him off 

Being in true fashion I schedule appts for Kayleb and I this week and it just so happened we literally had an appt every single day; talk about exhausting. However our first appt of the week was for my munchkin and we couldn't have been happier for the report. At his 4 month post open heart surgery appointment he got a great report. Everything on his echocardiogram looked great, the leak that was around the patch has closed up. While his weight is still slow to come on and eating is still an issue we will continue wth his speech therapy 3 times a week and keep packing on the lbs. We don't have to go back for 6 months to the cardiologist. Wooo hooo!!! 

As for me and my ginourmous belly we are doing well. This weeks appt showed no changes (which is a good thing) I will continue alternating weekly appointments between my regular ob and the perinatal specialists. Baby looks good and is weighing in around 2.5lbs. My amniotic fluid is still high around 23 but staying stable. We will continue with the weekly progesterone shots (to slow the labor process) and I have a pill called procardia to take should any contractions start. 

Can you say brothers.

The week ended on a not so happy note; hoping to enjoy the long weekend pool side we were sidelined by Kayleb and I getting sick. He started around Wednesday and ended up with an upper respiratory and ear infection and what ever he had he passed right on to momma. It hit me like a ton of bricks Friday and I was MISERABLE. I was so so proud of my streak I had almost made it this entire pregnancy without being sick. All my pregnant Mommas know that getting sick while pregnant is the worst because you can't take hardly ANYTHING. So we spent the weekend resting and cuddling up to watch movies. Although we did venture out for Jayden's first baseball game of the season Saturday morning. 

At the drs office he couldn't resist.
