We’re full into mommying over here in good ol’ Murphy, TX this morning!
Tatum got up at 7am this morning, which would be fine except I’m completely exhausted from night feedings and trying to figure out Wyatt’s poor tummy issues. I cheated by letting her watch The Little Mermaid in my bed while I laid there for just a tad bit longer with my eyes closed while Wyatt snoozed in his bassinet. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen The Little Mermaid or Frozen I don’t think either Wade or I would ever have to work again!
Mom was nice enough to come watch Wyatt for a few while I dropped Tatum off at daycare. Ms. Sylvia was out yesterday and so drop-off was absolutely horrendous, but she was back today and it went SO much better. I can not figure out her resistance to daycare drop-off. I had thought it was just a phase, but this “phase” seems to be lasting over a year. I know she enjoys it there because she never wants to leave in the evenings, but who knows. Maybe it’s just being an almost threenager.
Wyatt seems to be doing a tad bit better since we switched his formula (again). We had switched him to Similac Total Comfort thinking it might go a little easier on his stomach than the pro-advance but all it really did was back him up for days and make him really uncomfortable. So much for the “total comfort”… Switched him back to Similac Pro-Advance at the midnight feeding Sunday night/Monday morning and now we’re pulling a total 180 to an opposite problem of pooping a LOT! It’s kind of loose, but his discomfort seems less… I think I’m going to try adding a probiotic to his bottle once a day and see if that kind of helps set him straight. I really don’t want him to end up on Alimentum like Tatum was if we can help it.
Speaking of poops, just had two blowouts back to back. Motherhood is living the dream, isn’t it? LOL!
Finally got some crafting done this morning. I need to get on the stick if I’m going to have enough inventory to get my booth at Lonestar Mercantile ready by the open date of August 14. It’s been really hard doing this with the Pars Planitis diagnosis and ensuing partial blindness but with the hardcore steroids I’m on it’s slowly starting to get better. I had my bloodwork yesterday to try to determine the cause so let’s keep fingers crossed they don’t find anything crazy. Pars Planitis is crazy enough… At least I can see well enough to drive now and am no longer housebound. Yay!
My mommy adventure this morning was right after I got home from dropping off Tatum. I wasn’t sure why her Elsa shoes were in the garage and not her room but didn’t really think anything of it so I put them on her on the couch in the living room and then we walked from there to the garage to get in the car. When I got back from dropping her off, my mom informed me there was blue stuff all over my carpet. WTH? All of a sudden I realized she must have had PAINT from the play place we went to Saturday ALL over her shoes, and she tracked it ALL OVER THE HOUSE. Thank god it was washable paint, but I spent the morning basically scrubbing my entire living room/dining room carpet with a rag, water, and soap. All in the day of a stay-at-home-mom right? I told Wade that was my domestic task for the day completed. =)
It’s time for both me and the littlest midget to take a nap, so hopefully no more adventures this afternoon for a bit! =) Adios!
