Short n Sweet
So my posts tend to be short and incomplete at times because sometimes little B is crying, or agitated, or needs some attention - just a little forewarning there. I took him in for his newborn screen today where he gets his heel pricked (again) and his blood put on a card. Luckily he slept through the whole thing - and had some gas as well. We spoke to the pediatrician about this and he said all was normal, but he did give me a suggestion if he ended up constipated. Prune juice. I fed him half an oz. two days ago - but it didn't seem to do much good. So yesterday I upped the dose and as a result - I was up for 2 hours with what we will call the 'aftermath'. I don't know if he felt relief from constipation, but I think I will lower the dosage next time this problem occurs.
Now that I am in 'mommy' mode, the things that run through my mind are "When should I feed him?" "I need to put clothes in the laundry" "He needs to go for walk in his stroller." and "Oh, he needs to be changed." Aaah the joy of domestication. I recently read a story in the DMN about the new surge of life coaches, with a focus on one in particular here in Dallas. He worked with Ghandi and his movement back in the 40's. He had only met him once, but his work changed the course of this life. In his preparation to become a life coach/psychologist - he said that he practices what he advises. He says that routine is boring...but life sustaining. He has been exacting the same routine for over 20 years and he credits it, and meditation for his longevity. I wonder if Brennon gets me in a routine, that it will help me live longer. However, I do know that part of my job is to get him in a routine. This is straight from the mouth of the guru/life coach Supernanny. Right now, the only routine I desperately want him getting into is sleeping through the night!
