3 Months

Nolan is three months (and 3 days) old. It's going by way too fast. Nolan decided to celebrate his 3 month birthday by waking up every 2 hours at night, coming down with a nasty nasty ass cold he got from his brothers and dad. He was miserable and gross all day long. I still love him though. He can't help who gets him sick. I can't either, apparently. I hope he gets over this illness soon though. He won't eat, he won't sleep. He can't lay flat, refuses to sit upright to sleep. It's fun. He's camped out in his swing by the warm mist humidifier right now. I hope it helps. He's got breathe easy goop on his eczema'd chest. He's a mess. He's vomiting up ridiculous amounts of mucus. He' sneezing and choking all day long. He's breaking my heart.

When he's not sick, Nolan is sleeping for a 9 hour stretch at night, waking for a feed then sleeping a few more hours. I couldn't be happier with this. He seems to be adjusting to life on the outside. FINALLY. He's been a challenge. but where would we be without a challenge here and there. He's no longer on breast milk. This is a new development as of today. I was putting WAY too much pressure on myself to make MORE than enough milk. It was consuming me in every way so I decided to stop. yes, I'm having a hard time with it, no I don't know why. I know he'll be fine. The other 2 thrived on formula, he will too. But, I'm still feeling guilty. It'll pass though, I'm sure.

Spencer and Liam are STILL in love with their baby. They love playing with him, hugging him and kissing him. They don't' seem to even hear him when he cries, that's a good thing because he does it a lot!!

Anyway, he's no longer happily camped out in the swing. Better run.
