InstaTuesday week10

It's Tuesday again and I'm linking up with Jane for some InstaTuesday :) 


This week I got some super cute floral shades. Little B also modeled his shades!
I may or may not have melted my fave paci (it's ok though, the hubby bought more). We also tried the crib with camo cocoon baby

 

B is doing so good picking his head up! He also gets tons of baths in his blooming bath.
My scentsy ladt brought me next month's scent! and yet another picture of B in a cute football outfit.

Weak?

I have been questioning myself quite a bit these past two nights. My husband and I have been discussing moving B to his own room. He's only two months old but with him sleeping 8 hours straight through the night I think it's time.

Last night was a bit rough. I fed him downstairs and jostled him back to sleep by the time I made it up the stairs. I rocked him to sleep twice. He would not sleep in his crib without screaming!!! Being my weak mommy self I brought him back to his cradle in our room.

Tonight I planned things a little better. I came upstairs and fed him in his room. He rocked him a bit afterwords just to make sure he was good and knocked out. By the time I made it to the bathroom and back he had already spit his paci and and was grunting and looking everywhere. I felt horrible for him but stuck his paci back in his mouth and headed to my room. A few minutes later he's grunting again so I come back to see spit up everywhere and his paci out again! I cleaned him up and stuck his paci back.

Where am I at right now you ask? Rocking silently in his room making sure he is good and fast asleep.

I feel oh so weak. I'm scared to move my baby out of my room though. He's slept literally two feet from me since day one and now he's a good 4 yards across the hall. I know I have a solid reason to be worried but I just feel so weak.

The obstacles of being a mommy;

For little B to only be two months old, I've hit a lot of obstacles.

When he was a month old we were having a lot of trouble breast feeding. It wasn't getting any better and hurt so bad to even proceed with it. I did a lot of research and learned about tongue ties. When we returned to the pediatrician I mentioned it to her and she checked for us to see what she could find. She said he had a PTT (posterior tongue tie) which is a tie farther back (tongue ties are when the little piece of meat under your tongue is connected to far). She was kind enough to refer us to an ENT to get it clipped.

Today the little guy and I went to the ENT. We packed up the car and battled all the tunnel traffic on the way to Portsmouth naval. When we got in there the doctor and student doctor were both very nice. The only problem with our trip is that the doctor said he couldn't find a tongue tie.

This is VERY common with tongue ties. You'll have to see many doctors to get one that says yes. Another trip to the pediatrician we will make to get yet another referral to some other hospital.

Did I mention my little boy can totally rock his Vans? :) we went out to eat last night since Daddy came home for a bit. He's been doing inserv and last night he had to be back to the ship at 10PM. Thankfully he got to come visit us and head out for a quick dinner to celebrate 2.5 years of being a couple.

B also did his tummy time today. He's gotten soooo good at holding his head up but won't do it for more them five minutes. He gets really fussy and gives up :)
