I have a ton of pictures to put up, but for now, a brief update will have to do! Jason's best friend from college, Josh, is coming today for the weekend and I have been busy busy trying to get ready for him to come. I have actually been cooking too (Ohhh...ahhh...)!
We went to Harrison's 2 month doctor's appointment on Wednesday. He is doing well over all, just tall and skinny. To make a long story short, I have mastitis, an infection in my breast that can get pretty severe if not treated properly and aggressively. We went to a great doctor who is a dermatologist and breast specialist, as well as a pediatrician so he could diagnose and treat both of us. That is nice because I was having to go back and forth between my OB and the pediatrician, which was getting annoying and complicated. Anyway, because of this, Harrison is on a strict feeding schedule. However, he is still very skinny, in the 7% of weight for his age. Because our struggle to fatten him up is still ongoing (he was in the 14% at his one month appointment), I have had to start supplementing him with formula. I know that is what he needs right now, but that doesn't make it any easier for poor ole Mom!! Now, I nurse him and then offer formula, which is just eats right up! Hopefully this will fatten him up. He has been consistently gaining weight for the past few weeks, but I don't think he has ever caught up from when he got behind early on.
Okay, I hear him stirring. I knew that swing would occupy him for only so long..More later!
