2 Month appointment...from last week

Ha...yes it took me a full week to post the exciting milestones of my dear 2nd child. At his two month appointment, Izyk weighed in at a whopping 15lbs, 2 oz and 25inches long. Both measurements put him in the 97th percentile. All I could say is, DANG. I can't say I'm feeding him any different than Charley but he does take 5 oz the two feedings while I'm at work. My little chunk. He's smiling, laughing, and talking up a storm. Still sleeping 10pm to 6am. I'm not rushing to make that any bigger of a gap but eventually we'll move that 10pm feeding back. He's starting to wake up with a happy disposition, as in he wakes up cooing and smiling, instead of crying. Yay! He had his chest x-ray/ultrasound last sunday and everything came back normal as can be. *thumbs up*

The balance between work and home still is a challenge. I wish it were easier to be a working mom but it gets harder, not easier, as you have 'em. I get to spend a beautiful 3 hours with my Charley before he is off to bed and Izyk a bit more as I have to wake him up in the morning to nurse before I leave.

*sigh*

At least I have the weekends. It's better than nothing. :)

A little update

Okay...so I don't start work until TUESDAY. Monday is, of course, a holiday. I knew that. So Izyk is sleeping through the night...like 10pm to 6am and sometimes longer (like this morning). We started using a bottle a bit later than usual but he is adjusting well. Hopefully it'll get easier for him. I really do hate pumping but I'm grateful I am able to do it and with an awesome pump. Hopefully this time there will be less "pumping" stress.

Potty training with Charley is going fine. We are taking the relaxed road. Doing it when I can. Today was a third day of potty training. It's actually been quite humorous. Yesterday I gave him 3 huge sippy cups of fluid and he usually has a bowel movement in the morning. So I figured it'd be a good time to attempt using the potty. I only had a couple of hours before his nap time so we went for it. He kept trying to put a diaper on himself and kept making the sound for urinating. He also kept grabbing at his crotch (which he does when he has a bowel movement). The second I put a diaper on him, he did both. Lovely. Today was a slightly different story. He held it again but he started dribbling a little. Needless to say, I had to clean up a mess. One of these days he'll get it. :) I think it's a good sign that he can hold it though. Now I just have to convince him to do it in the toilet or potty.
