Adjusting to the life of a mom of three boys has definitely had its challenges, and yet I wouldn't change a second of it. Okay, I might change the fact that thing one and thing two fight constantly... seriously! Do they really need to fight all the time?!?!
The last few weeks have been super eventful in our home.
Zacharey made his grand entrance into the world on the 9th of August. I think I am still in shock that I did not go over due. Or maybe it is the fact that he came about 30 minutes after we got to the hospital. My poor Midwife caught him all old school- she is bad ass like that. Haha. She didn't have time to put on gloves!
He weighed 8lbs 10oz and was 22 inches long. He looks way smaller than he is. All his weight is in his length.
I am still bummed that Adam wouldn't agree to a home birth but I was able to go home about 3 hours after.
At 5 weeks, I am happy to report that he is still 100% breastfed and has yet to have a bottle. It has been a challenge though. We have dealt with crappy latches, serious weight loss issues, cluster feeds and now clicking. I am still waiting for this to get easier. How can something so natural be so difficult?
To make life even more interesting, we have taken on a new journey. Cloth Diapers! - Honestly, they aren't that bad!
Nathaniel started juniour kindergarten this school year and is in full day (all day every day). How is it even possible that he is old enough to be in real school? He seems to enjoy going and his teacher always has something nice to say about him. Which is a really nice change from all the negative we get about Alex. On Friday, she told Adam that he is a treat to have in the classroom and that he is so kind and compassionate. Way to make your mama proud kid.
Alex started grade five this year, which makes me feel really old. He has his first male teacher since his horrible private school days. He seems to like him and I have yet to have a phone call or a note come home. I am hopeful for a good year for Alex. God knows he needs one. At 10 years old, he has yet to have a positive school experience. I should really set up a meeting with his teacher. We need to go over behaviours and quirks. Medications and his IEP, his successes and his struggles.
