Although today its the first day of Spring it does not feel like it (low 40s-- brrrr). We went to the doctor this afternoon. As I have mentioned last week, Jacob had an ear infection and took his 10 day round of antibiotics. He has been sleeping fine and did not have a temperature, but was still pulling at both of his ears. Dr. Scheff looked in his ears and had determined they were full of wax. So, I had to hold Jacob down as Dr. Scheff cleaned them with a plastic scoop. Needless to say, my little guy cried and cried and was very mad at the doc for the rest of the time. The good new is that both of his ears are fine. When we arrived home, I was taking Jacob out of his car seat and completely threw out my back. I can't even stand up straight, it's that painful. I don't know what I am going to do... ~Going grocery shopping with Mommy this morning~
Please skip this paragraph if you're not interested in Nursing. The blog is my little time keeper and a public diary-- so whoever reads this bear with me! Tonight marks the 2nd night that we will be trying to discontinue nighttime feeding. I have consulted Dr. Scheff and he has reassured me that Jacob is doing fine and does not need to nurse at night time. In fact, it fragments his sleep and prevents him from falling asleep on his own. In addition, he is getting adequate calories during the day. I was surprised that at 4 a.m. last night it took him only 12 min (yes I watched the clock!) to fall back asleep, after wining and babbling (no crying!). Actually, I have been gradually weaning him from the nighttime nursing over the last couple of months. I slowly nursed him less and less time until he only nursed for 5-10 min. So the next logical step is to stop completely. Ahh! I think its harder on me than on him quite frankly. We'll see how tonight goes...On a lighter note... yesterday we've had an awesome time. We went to our music class at the Adams Street Library and it was a blast! It's funny because there are 3 sets of twins in the class and Jacob (the only child). So, we happy to welcome Janson and Luke (9 months), Liam and Mave (18 months), Harrison and Olivia (12 months) to our circle of friends. Later in the afternoon we went to Max's house for a playgroup. Jacob enjoyed playing with Max and Teddy (12 months). Also, he liked to climb the stairs, cruise against the couch and other pieces of furniture, and play with all new toys. I was relived that Jacob did well in the car both ways.
