Sorry, I am not feeling very social today. I have been fussy all day and Mommy and Daddy can't figure out why. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
Mommy and I went out alone for the first time today. We went to the WIC appointment (Women Infants and Children) which is a government program to help with nutrition. I cried and fussed through the whole visit but Mommy said it was a good visit and was pretty happy cuz they are giving me 9 cans of 12 ounces of Similac formula a month until I am 3 months old and then I get 10 cans a month. They also give Mommy and Daddy some other yummy stuff that does help out. For Mommy and Daddy they get things like milk, cheese, some natural juice, eggs, wheat bread... All sorts of stuff to help them eat better. Mommy and Daddy have decided once Mommy is feeling a bit better from having me that they are really going to work on eating better so they can teach me to eat right as I get older and also once it warms up they want to take me for walks in the stroller through the neighborhood. Right now Mommy is still hurting and says flat out she needs some comfort foods that are just quick and easy and don't make her stand up to cook right now and that Daddy shouldn't have to do all the cooking. Mommy thinks that if we go for walks 3 or 4 times a week it will be good for me to get out and good for them as well. Mommy wants to do whatever she can to make sure that I learn how to be healthy when I am young.
After we went to the WIC appointment Mommy had to take me with her while she went to see her Dr. Mommy's ouchie is just not healing right at all and broke open again last night while Mommy slept. I cried the whole time we were there except when the nurses who took care of my Mama while she was pregnant got a hold of me and passed me through the office cuz I am so cute. Mommy's ultrasound tech (who she spent A LOT of time with while I was in her belly) said that I was so beautiful and that all the hours they spent together really paid off, she was so happy for Mommy she was about to cry. In fact the whole office would like to have Mommy get a good picture of me so they can put it on their walls!!!! I guess somehow I am a miracle to many more people than just my Mommy. Mommy got to see her Dr but she doesn't know why it isn't healing. Dr did say that it does not look infected but Dr did a culture of the open spot just to double check that Mama doesn't need any antibiotics. Dr did not want to stitch it up or close it, she said it seems to need to drain so she packed some funky stuff into the bad spot (that Mommy will have to take out tomorrow and is NOT happy to do it) and cleaned it up for Mommy. Mommy has to go back on Monday so they can take a look at it and her Dr told her they are going to keep a close eye on things to get this fixed up. Thankfully it is only 2 cm of the entire incision that is open and the rest seems to have healed just right.
Mommy said on top of my crying and the incision opening she really just felt poopy today. She got plenty of sleep last night but when we got home still needed to lie down for a nap, she said she just felt fevery and achy. She didn't set an alarm but Mommy never naps more than about 2 hours and today she slept for 6. Daddy was pretty cranky himself and Mommy disappearing for 6 hours didn't make things better. Mommy said it was just "one of those days" and that tomorrow would be a better day.
My Great Aunt Joan and Uncle Craig are driving up from Phoenix to meet me tomorrow, Mommy said that is really cool. Mommy said she hasn't really seen them much over the years and it felt really nice to have them want to drive up just to visit!!! I am excited cuz I know it is 2 more people who can sit and tell me how cute I am!!!! My Great Uncle Gary and Auntie Michelle sent me a present that Mommy said is friggin adorable. They live in Kansas and are big fans of the University of Kansas Jayhawks so they sent me a Jayhawk onesie, athletic shorts, socks and tennis shoes.... How cute is that!!!! They are in a larger size so that I can wear them in the summer and Mommy can't wait to get a picture of me in them to send to them!!!!!
Mommy said she is gonna sit up with me tonight cuz she knows this is not just a normal fussy day, she said that when we see MY Dr next week she is gonna talk to her about colic. Mommy says she really thinks this is just gas today but I didn't even really take my normal naps, I would doze off a bit then fuss in my sleep and wake myself up. Daddy went to bed for the night cuz he was pretty wiped out from trying to calm me down all day. Mommy says I have calmed down a bit in the last few hours and she thinks that maybe by about 5am I will be back on track and she can get some rest.
Mommy said I need to try to sleep some more so I guess it is bed time. Nighty night!!!
