Here we are at thursday already...
Apr. 7th, 2011 11:08 amThis week we've kind of gotten into a routine...kinda.
Monday we headed back to the pediatrician to have Benton's circumcision done. I have to say, Dr. Couchman was super awesome explaining everything to us before hand...making sure we still wanted to do it and making us and Benton very comfortable. His nurse was super nice as well and was all about Benton's comfort. The procedure didn't take long and it was interesting to watch. There are speciatly tools involved which I'm not surprised about but it was neat to see. Benton didn't complain and only fussed that he was hungry when things were done. They had given him some sugar water while the procedure was being done and it kicked in his "I'm hungry" reflex. He fed every two hours for the rest of the night which didn't surprise me. He had also gained 5 ozs since friday. LOL.
Tuesday we had a nice day and I managed to have a good walk with him in the afternoon. We headed out to practice when mel got back from kung fu. I had made baked cod in mushrooms for dinner and it was good. We headed out and Benton got introduced to lots of folks. We stayed about an hour and then I was done. Got home and settled in for the night. Poor Benton though had an hour of poopy diapers before finally settling down at 1230am.
Wednesday we got up and headed out to the zoo with
duchess_asa and had a good time. We dropped off our taxes and then were home for another poopy diaper hour after lunch feeding. Mel got home and we were both napping. We had leftovers for dinner and then I headed to knit night. Benton was exciting and napped the whole time and managed to fill his diaper and leak on Becky. Oops. Got home and had a good feeding and then he was awake which was not a good sign.
He ended up cluster feeding from 11pm till 130am...I finally got him asleep at about 2am. We slept until just about 6 where he fed okay. His 9am feeding was kinda lame and he was sleepy. Course I was pretty full so it was hard for him to eat. I pumped almost 8 oz extra. Wow. Very sore now. But hopefully we are back to normal now. We shall see. His circ is healing really well though and I'm betting the extra feeding is helping heal it quickly.
