Granulation and Silver Nitrate
Granulation and Silver Nitrate, those are two words that I never want to hear again…At my 6 weeks post OB check up, the nurse practitioner noticed that I had some granulation tissue built up…that made sense for how much I was still really really sore. I just thought that the stitches had not healed correctly or I was sitting too much for work, but it was painful all the time not just sitting or standing. She told me it was pretty much just scar tissue that had not healed and that she would need to cauterize/burn it off. It was actually quite painful, she put silver nitrate on it to get all the granulation tissue off, the silver nitrate cauterizes the unwanted tissue so new cells could grow and hopefully heal right. I had to schedule an appointment for the following week to do the treatment again and they said that I would just have to keep coming back until it was gone. I went in the following week to my actually doctor and he said that the tissue was still quite large and would take many silver nitrate applications to remove and if I wanted to do that I could keep coming back but he gave me another option. If I wanted he could simply just cut it off and then cauterize it and it would hurt for a week or so but it would then heal faster and I would not have to keep coming back each week till it was gone. I went with the cutting it off and ouch, he applied local/topical numbing stuff but it was very painful...overall I am glad that I took that option. It took a week to heal and I have only had a few times where it has been really painful. Things seem to be getting better and like I said at the beginning Granulation and Silver Nitrate are two words that I never want to hear again, but I would go through it all again to have my little man and any future little lads or ladies that await.

Commando
WORK
I had to find a way to feed baby boy and still work, that is where my chin came in handy...if I was reading a document I was fine holding the bottle with my hand but at times I had to click or type, I would just prop the bottle with my chin...I have gotten pretty good at it!!!
The day of Teddy's blessing he got a cough and congesting and started wheezing...My sister is a nurse and checked his lungs and she said they sounded fine and since he did not have a fever they really could not do anything for him, his is too small for medication. He did not feel good the whole week and many days all he wanted me to do was hold him. It made work a little hard but many times I just walked away and spent some time with him. I love this picture...he had been crying and I turned him around and started singing to him...I looked at the reflection on the computer screen and saw this...I had to take a picture...SO SO PRECIOUS!!!
2 Months
He is starting to slobber all the time. I have to keep a bib on most of the day
This was us one morning at 2 am...he still has his days and nights mixed around. It is great that I can get some work done during the day, but I get so tired as well.
We try and get some tummy time in during the day...he does not like it most of the time, but he is getting stronger...I had to include the picture on the changing mat because this is one place where he LOVES to be. He could be screaming and we lie him down on this mat and he stops...for a little boy who hates getting his diaper changed, I am suprised he loves lying on the diaper changing mat =)...
I cant believe my little big boy has been here for a whole two months...TIME FLIES!!!
Phillips Visit
It was very nice of Grandpa and Grandma Phillips to come for Teddy's blessing...here is Ama and Grandma and Teddy...he is LOVED by so many people!!!
