Sick Day, December 2, 2010
My poor little guy and I are having a sick day on the couch today. He was running a fever of 100.5 last night which is much higher than his normal 97.8ish body temperature. He was crying in, what it seemed like, pain. There wasn't much that we could do to console him but luckily we had gotten some sugar ease from the doctor which helped him relax; sugar ease is a water/sucrose mixture that helps babies calm down and relaxes their muscles. We called the doctor and were told to give him Tylenol every 4 hours which brought his temperature down some but not much. He has also been throwing up and going from one extreme to another with either not using the bathroom (#2) or having diarrhea. We have spent the day on the couch and have rested all day. He seems to be feeling better but is still pretty hot. Please pray that our little guy feels better! He looks so sad that it breaks my heart! I do not like seeing my baby in pain!

December 1, 2010- 2 months old
Happy 2 month Birthday Levi Blake!!
Our little man is getting so big! These two months have flown by but have been by far the greatest 2 months of our lives! We started out having Levi a month and a half early and spent 2 weeks in the NICU. It was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel in the hospital but we finally got home!
Levi is Mr. Personality!! He smiles all the time and is beginning to giggle and laugh. He can lift his head up and he can stand up and actually support his weight, he is going to be walking before we know it! We went to the Doctor today and he has almost doubled his birth weight, weighing 8 lbs and 6.5 ounces and is 21 inches long!!! He is definitely growing but is still only in the 5th percentile in height and weight :) I think he is going to take after his daddy in size! He had to get 3 shots, 2 in one leg and 1 in the other. He did not cry other than when the medicine was actually being dispensed, such a trooper. He loved the Doctor that we saw today, she was a cute young doctor. He did not cry during the appointment but started crying when she left, He is definitely going to be a lady's man (daddy says just like him...HAHA).
We got to see Santa today and he didn't even cry! He kinda blended in with Santa so in the picture he is trying to lift his head so he can be seen, such a smart boy! He asked Santa for a puppy for Christmas (mommy kinda helped with that)!
I have lost my milk supply and I am unable to nurse now. We have been giving him formula for 2 days now and we are having a rough transition. Please keep him in your prayers that he will be able to make the transition from my milk to formula and that he will begin to feel better!
Tomorrow is my last day of maternity leave! I am definitely sad about it and I am already feeling anxious about leaving my little man. I am lucky that I am going back on a Friday so that I will have the weekend with my little man and that it will hopefully not be to overwhelming. We are blessed though to have schedules that will allow one of us to be at home with Levi at all times other than 2 Saturdays a month in which MeMe and NaNa will get to watch him.
I have to say we have a pretty good life these days. We are lucky to have good paying jobs as well as great support from our family and friends and we could not ask for more!!!!
