Doing much better now!

Hi everyone!


We're all doing much better today. We took Ian to the pediatrician on Wednesday and he took a look at the blister (Jon thinks it's more of a boil, actually). By that time, it had popped and drained. The doc took a sample and said that they'd call us and let us know what kind of germ it was, but he wasn't concerned about it at all. We're going to call on Monday to check, since we haven't heard from them yet.


The doc also says that Ian looks great (he said "perfect" actually, but I don't want to brag :รพ) He weighed in at 8 lbs 12 oz. So either the ER's scale was off, or he gained 9 oz in 2 days. We're thinking the ER's scale is off.


We told the doc about Ian's fussiness and not wanting to eat sometimes, and he said that's normal. Greeeeat.


For the last couple of days, Ian has been doing much better as far as feedings go. He's up to eating 2-3 oz and then sleeping for 2 hours or so, which is MUCH better than eating 0.5 oz and sleeping for a half hour then waking up screaming. He still does that from time to time, but it's less frequent.


We bought a recliner so that I can sleep in the living room with him more comfortably. I can't wait - we'll have it set up tomorrow.


I still have an infection of some kind - my Dr's office said it was a UTI but I think it's a bladder infection. Yesterday I had "bladder spasms" and was in a lot of pain. I thought about going to the ER but I laid down and slept instead, and when I woke up the pain was gone. I called the doc and they said to see how it goes over the weekend, but that if it happens again I can go to the ER. And then I have an appt on Monday for them to test me again. Fun times.


Mom & Dad Spain are coming up on Sunday to give us a break - yay! I can't wait! I think we're going to go see "National Treasure" and then go to Outback for dinner. I've been missing their blue cheese chopped salad something fierce. I think Mom Spain just wants to cuddle her grandbaby without having to give him back, for a few hours :)
