My lack of posting is NOT going to be a habit. I swear. I have so much to write about, so so so so much.
Tomorrow night, The Birth Story. Promise.
But for now it's 12:59 am and my house is finally as clean as the good old days. Laundry is caught up, floors mopped, cupboards stocked, vacuumed, dusted, bleached, organized and such. I actually walked into the kitchen and said, "Kday, get in here! I don't even recognize the kitchen, it's been so long since it looked like this!" And to top it all off... fresh flowers on the center of the table from my 10 year anniversary date with Kday. That's another post I'm excited to write.
Tomorrow is Brudda's 2 week Dr appointment. I have a huge list of questions. More than I ever did as a first time mom. What's up with that? We have to be out of the house and at the MD's office by 10 am. So outfits are layed out and diaper bag packed for Layla and Rider. Here's my list of questions for the Dr... if he doesn't kick me out of the office because I'm so annoying.
1. Twitching - Rider's doing this weird twitch that is more frequent and severe than just the typical startle reflex. It's a little scary to watch actually. Hoping it's benign and not any type of seizure activity. (call me a hypochondriac - I don't care. It's freaky and I don't like it)
Here's a video... watch to the end and you'll see how frequent it is. And being swaddled makes it worse.
2. Hep B - We need it cuz BM refused it at the hospital
3. Projectile Vomiting - At first I thought it was because rider was going too long between meals and then gorging himself. But we've put him on a 3 hour schedule and limited amounts during feeding and he is still doing it once a day. And it's mega amounts of vomit. Enough to create puddles and for me to need to suction him because he chokes on it. Ick.
4. Grunting- Super loudly at night and even during the day. It's getting worse and Rider is totally uncomfortable and squirmy after meals. He can't get comfortable and struggles to burp. Should we change formula?
5. Why am I such a freakazoid mom?
Good night.

If it helps you feel better, Tay grunted so loud when she slept I had to turn the baby monitor down she was so loud and she shook quite a bit. My friends freaked out but it went away after a while. Let us know how it goes.
Love the Swiss girls!
They could all be related to each other....the reflux is painful and could cause him twitch and grunt. Projectile vomit is NO fun....Isabelle was a pro at this. As for asking too many questions, remember that you are the client paying him/her to do a job, ASK!!! A good doctor will be glad you did. Good Luck.
LOVE the picture of Rider!! He is so dang adorable and sweet!
You are not a freakazoid mom....you are a very normal mom! :) And the more you become familiar with Rider and his little noises and differences, the more relaxed you will become. :))
I imagine there are more questions the 2nd time because you know more. ;)
You are doing awesome!!
Can't help you, but projectile vomit sounds intense! Good luck at the doc tomorrow!
