What a Surprise!

Well, the Cat is out of the bag. Zach is going to be a big brother! It was not planned for him to be a big brother at such a young age, but, God works in mysterious ways and has decided that now is the time. I am sure he will be a wonderful big brother at the age of 18 mos! Looks like our due date will be around May 5th. We have also found out that my niece is also expecting a few days before me and will be delivering at the same hospital as we are. It could be a very exciting month of May!! Here we go again!!!

B.E.A.UTIFUL DAY!

What a beautiful day!! The kids (minus one) and I picked up dinner, went to the park for a picnic and had dinner in the fresh air tonight. It was wonderful. It was Zach's first trip to the park, its been so hot and humid here, but today, was perfect. He had such a blast in the swing, kicking his feet in excitement! Take a look for yourself. He's getting to be such a big boy!

Updates!!

Ok so we took Zach to the ENT and we were told he needs ear tubes. We were told he wouldnt be able to nurse after midnight and that his surgery would be at 6:30am. That is not going to fly with our little eater. So, the next day we took Zach to the Chiro and after a thermal scan of his back, we found out that his C1 is twisted one way and his C2 is twisted the other. He also has a twist in his C3. So, after a small adjustment with a special tool (no bending or cracking involved) we were sent on our way. A few hours later, he rolled over on his own (a feat that we had yet to accomplish) which I am assuming before lifting his head while on his belly was causing discomfort. That night he slept from 8pm-5:30am, another wonderful accomplishment. He has slept thru the night since then anywhere from 6-8 hours. Its amazing. He had his second appointment yesterday and we were told that the area that affects his ears does feel better and was adjusted again yesterday. We go back to the Ped on the 6th for his checkup so we shall see what they say about his ears then.

We started solids again 2 weeks ago and have been going strong since. We now have a jar of pears of breakfast and a jar of sweet taters for dinner. We tried peaches today, and those did not go over very well. He clinched his mouth so tight after that first bite there was no getting anymore of that in there.

We have been working on sitting on our own, and his personality is growing by leaps and bounds. The smiles and coo's are wonderful, and brightens everyone's day. His cheeks and thighs are still chubby, but he is starting to grow into his baby fat in the belly area.
