3 weeks old already

Happy Wednesday everyone! Things are going well here and we are all getting adjusted quite well. The house is clean and everyone is dressed and looking cute. :) I'm even going to get out of the house and take Sydney to her Cubbies class at church tonight. Adam's been going to church without me since my bedrest started in November, so he will get to stay home with Sebastian tonight and I will get to go!


As you can see, Sydney finally got to hold Sebastian. She is still sick though, so hence the mask. :) We took her to the pediatrician last week because she's had a cough and cold for over a month that won't go away. They said she had a sinus infection and gave her Amoxicillin. She was on it for 7 of the 10 days prescribed when she broke out in a horrible rash all over her body.


Then this week, I took her back to the doctor to find out she was allergic to the Amoxicillin. Now she's on a new antibiotic and something else for the rash and itching.


She's starting to feel better finally so there will be lots more baby holding pics coming soon. :)


Sebastian also had his first Dr's visit. He is up to 5 lbs 14 oz now and doing great! We've managed to keep him from getting Sydney's cold so far. It is no easy feat though. She constantly wants to be by him.


He is 3 weeks old now and we finally cut off the hospital bracelet. (I have no idea why I felt the need to leave it on so long.)


He also had his first bath at home. He loves them. The baby baths don't work for me. I don't think they are warm enough or deep enough. Sydney always screamed and got cold right away so we went right to the big tub this time. (The cute little monogrammed washcloth was a gift from my sister-in-law.) Thanks MJ!


Everyone is clean and ready for bed!


This past weekend was my annual girls weekend to Door County. This was the 12th year in a row and the first time I would have missed it. Sebastian and I ending up driving up on Saturday to visit, but then it got slippery out so we ended up spending the night.

I'm looking forward to spring and being able to take Sebastian out. I'm ready to try this 2 child parenting out in public!
