Sick :(

Of course, both the kids are sick. M got some antibiotics a few days ago and is coming out of it now, but G's just got bad last night so he didn't get his medicine until today. He's pretty crabby and wants to be held. He isn't eating which isn't helping him grow either...

When we took M to the doctor we took G to weigh him- only 16lbs 8oz. Hmmm...that's only 2 oz in 2 weeks. Normal really for this age, but he needs to grow faster. I knew this would happen. I knew I would wean him so he would grow and then he wouldn't grow and I'd feel guilty for weaning when I didn't need to. Oh well. I was looking for a reason to wean anyway, so it gave me an out I suppose. We talked about it briefly and now that we're out of breast milk I have decided that I'm not going to calorie load his milk. A normal baby shouldn't need high calorie formula to grow. Dr. M said she agreed. We'll see what happens. I think no matter what you decide, you're going to feel like maybe you didn't do the right thing. It's just the nature of motherhood.

We are doing Christmas today since I have to work tomorrow. I'll try to get some pictures up tonight. M is pretty cute about opening presents. G could really care less. The snot on his face makes pictures really pretty right now too.

It's been a really exhausting few days. Monday night mom and I went shopping until after 11 and I was up until at least 12. Last night I was up until 1 am. It's totally unlike me to be up so late. I'm soooo tired. Oh well- that's Christmas, right?
