We went away to PA the weekend of memorial day to spend some time with Phil's side of the family. Some relatives had yet to meet Sam, so we packed the 4-runner and off the 4 of us went! It was a great time and way more relaxing than one would think considering we were traveling with an almost 3 month old!
We drove home that Monday afternoon and Phil started saying that his stomach ached. Knowing his digestive history, I was less than surprised. Tuesday he calls me from work and says he is going to drive himself to the ER after work because he was in pain. Not wanting to bring Sam to the disgusting Hopkins ER waiting room, we waited for Phil at home. Around 2:30am he got home saying they said they couldn't find anything wrong with him but he was still in pain. Great. We decided he needed to get some sleep and we would call the Dr in the morning.
Around 8am, Hopkins called saying they read his CT scans wrong and they see something. Of course they don't tell you what they see over the phone, but I decided I needed to go with Phil and thankfully Kristin was able to come over and stay with Sam, "working" from our house. Sam doesn't really like to let people do work during the day so I think she got very little accomplished.
Long story short, they did many many tests, took some biopsies, gave Phil some meds and said, "we still don't really know whats wrong with you". We are waiting for biopsy results to come in - hopefully within the week. Phil is feeling better though which is good!
On a separate note, I realize how spoiled I am. Sam has been such a good baby, that any blip in his behavior that makes him act like a "normal" 3 month old makes me think I'm doing something wrong. The issue as of late is sleeping. Sam started sleeping 10 hours easy through the night by around 7-8 weeks. This is NOT normal. I loved it, and didn't think anything of it. It was his norm and that was AWESOME! Well now, when he only sleeps 6 or 8 hours in a stretch, I get annoyed. It's so wrong, but I can't help it. I have to keep reminding myself that when a 3 month old sleeps for 6, 7, or 8 hour stretches, that is considered "sleeping through the night". It's hard to remember that at 330am, but I try to remind myself at a more reasonable hour of the morning.
The thing is, I stay up too late these days. Sam is pretty active during the day so I don't get much done for my photography business until he goes to sleep. I think thats what caused me to get him in bed around 7p to begin with, but now, after 8 hours, he wakes up around 3 and I've only had 3 hours of sleep! We are figuring it out though. He is really good and I juse need to remind myself how luck I am to have a good baby - actually to have ANY baby good, bad or ugly! But Sam is anything but ugly....see -
and just as cute is his cousin, Carson
and while we are on the topic of cuteness, Daisy was the original cute child
I just love this one of Sam because he is trying to pull himself upright while staring at Daddy. and you can see his eyelashes- to. die. for.
