FIRST DOCTOR APPOINTMENT DONE

Today was Owens pediatrician appointment. He has a upper respiratory infection and is now on antibiotics. She was unable to start his vaccinations because of the infection so we will give him the medicine for two weeks and then go back. She did draw blood for numerous test. Owen handled it better then mommy did. I cried more then he did. It just broke my heart having to see him be in pain. I don't know what I am going to do when he has his surgery. Speaking of surgery, he has his cleft doctor appointment tomorrow.

Owen and I will take the bus into the city and meet Bob at work and we will all go to the appointment together. I am a little nervous about this appointment. Our pediatrician had a good look inside his mouth and said it is all the way to the back, but she has definitely seen worse and knows that once he has his surgery he will do great.

Tomorrow is Bob's first day back to work, right now he is giving him his night time bath. I love listening to the two of them in the bathroom. I am not sure who laughs more, Owen or Bob! LOL I love that they have the special time together, he definitely helps with the bonding.

I am totally exhausted, I am really hoping the little guy sleeps tonight. Last night was a little rough, he didn't want to sleep in his crib. After several attempts to get him to sleep Bob finally went into his room and they both slept in his bed. We spoke to the doctor about it today and she said this is perfectly normal, he is having anxiety and we need to just go with what works and not worry that he isn't sleeping alone right now. I seem to agree with her.

My mom and dad slept over Saturday night, Owen has already attached to them. When they left Sunday afternoon he blew them kisses, we have no idea where he learned that from, but he didn't it all by himself. He even said bye bye. It's funny because he hasn't done it since my parents left so he definitely meant it to be special for them. Of course they ate it up, my dad just keeps looking at him and has tears in his eyes.

I will update tomorrow how our cleft team appointment has gone! Have a great night.
