2 month visit at the doctors/ dvou mesicni visita u doktorky

We got three shots and it seems there will be some reaction to them.
One of his thighs is getting pretty swollen and has a bruise on it - the nurse was trying to be quick.
So some tylenol and cold compresses and they say it should be fine in 48 hours.
We initially planned for this weekend a trip to the DC with Kori and Travis but decided to wait another month or so for a happier baby.
Luke will have to wait for the museum with space rockets.
Now this decision makes even more sense.

As far as the numbers go ...
Wesley is growing exactly like Luke was .
Their measurements are nearly the same.
Luke weighed 12lbs 13oz  - Wesley weighs 12lbs 9oz
Luke measured 24in - Wesley measures 24in

Wesley has some persistent seborrhea
To my surprise the dr. said to use sanson blue for it weekly.
I guess he is not a newborn anymore so there are more options.


------------------
Tak jsme dostali tri vakciny a asi na ne budeme mit reakci. Zatim mu otejka ta nozicka do ktery mu dali dve z nich.
Davam mu na to studeny, detsky acetaminofeny a snad behem 48 hodin by to melo bejt v poradku.
Puvodne jsme planovali tenhle vikend stravit ve Washingtonu s kamaradama taky s batoletem ale s tezkym srdcem jsme si to rozmysleli asi pred tejdnem s tim ze pockame az z Wesleyho bude spokojenejsi miminko. Luke holt ten mesic pocka na muzeum s raketama. Ted jsme opravdu radi ze jsme se tak rozhodli.

Jinak vazi a meri pomalu stejne jako Luke jeho veku.
5.7 kg Luke mel o 4oz vic
61 cm - stejne jako Luke

Wesley ma tu detskou vyrazku na hlave a povolili nam na to pouzivat jeden sampon Sanson Blue.
Dost me to prekvapilo ale protoze uz to neni novorozene a tak mame vic moznosti.

After school

Nice but a little cold

Enjoy

Leaves

It was snowing a bit and Luke was getting excited about snow. So we went to play and had fun with raking and jumping into leaves. Wesley slept through it :)

Few more pictures here.

Luke at the library

He found Lilo and Stitch and is reading it to a boy we met here.

Luke si vybral knizku a predcita ji novymu kamaradovi.

Walking home from school

another happy one

Happy after feeding ...

Happy after a midnight snack

Wesley

Wesley has been very cranky and it is getting progressively worse. Nothing soothes him. He cries, cries, cries, gets breast fed then bottle fed till the 1st burp and then he doesn't take the bottle anymore, takes a   20 minute catnap and  the cycle starts all over. Few times a day he will take a decent 3 hour nap. I've tried everything and the only soothing thing for him is breast feeding, but I am not a human pacifier. His baby rash is also not looking pretty and he has some white spots inside his mouth (thrush ???). So today I took him to see the doctor to hopefully find out it was something simple to fix. The white spots are not thrush but part of his baby rash and will go away. The doctor, herself a mother of a 2.5 year old, spent good 30 minutes with us in the office, most of it trying to calm him down. After eliminating everything else we left the doctor's office with a Colic diagnosis, book recommendation (The happiest baby on the block) and a sample of different formula. So it is official - everyone who warned us that the 2nd baby will be punishment for how easy we had it with Luke was right. It should peak now and start getting better in a couple of weeks leaving us with distant, dreamy, sleep deprived memory soon.

Particularly fitting quote from the book that was recommended to me today: "There are times when parenthood seems like nothing but feeding the mouth that bites you" Peter de Vries

Wesley je v posledni dobe strasne ubrecenej a furt se to zhorsuje a nic nepomaha. Furt place, nakrmim ho, prikrmim formuli - do prvniho krknuti - coz je nekde mezi 25-50 ml a pak uz si tu flasku neveme. Pak si nekdy schrupne asi 20 minut a zacne plakat - a jedem nanovo. Parkrat denne spi po trech hodinach. Jediny co ho uklidni je  krmeni ale ja nejsem chodici dudlik zejo. Jeho pupink taky nevypadaj dobre a ma i bily pupinky v pusince a  tak jsem se dneska rozhodla a vzala jsem ho k doktorce. Pupinky jsou normalni. Doktorka, sama matka 2,5 letyho kluka s nama stravila asi pul hodiny vetsinu casu se snazila uklidnit Wesleyho. Po vylouceni vsech ostatnich pricin jsme z ordinace odchazeli s diagnozou koliky,  doporucenim na knizku o kolice a vzorkem jinyho praskovyho mlika.  Praxe dava za pravdu tem vsem kteri nas varovali ze nase druhy potomce nas potresta za to jak hodny miminko byl Luke.

Footballer and Wesley's first bath

We walked to Trader Joes and stopped for kicks. Luke likes kicking the ball and is getting good at running with it.
Wesley's belly button stump finally fell off so we gave him a real bath - Luke couldn't wait and got in too!
Wesley enjoyed the warm water and there was no crying until it was time to get out and he was cold.

here are the pics


Sli jsme pesky nakoupit a staveli se na fotbalovym hristi (hned pres ulici). Lukovi uz jde krasne s micem behat.
 Posledni kousek pupecni snury konecne Wesleymu upad a tak jsme ho mohli vykoupat ve vane.
Luke si nemoh pomoct a vlez do ty vany taky.
Wesleymu se strasne libila tepla voda a teprve protestoval kdyz jsme ho vyndavali protoze mu bylo chladno.
