Nov 8 - 13

Going to keep this sort of journal like. So don't mind ...

Monday, Nov 8

Emily was a good girl today. We went out for a bit to Carter's and Ross. Got another girly blanket for her ... so she doesn't have to sport Tyler's ones when we go out. Hehe, at home it's cool. :)

Tuesday, Nov 9

Emily is definitely NOT on her 3 hour schedule like how she was at the hospital. Something doesn't really seem right. She wants to eat more often, which shouldn't be a bad thing. However, she seems a bit fussier then normal. Ended up staying home today.

Wednesday, Nov 10

Too our chances and went out today. Checked out Michael's and got some stuff for Tyler to do art with. Also went grocery shopping at Lucky's.

To continue on about Emily being different ... she is now doing this weird random screaming thing. She'll be sleeping (usually) and will just cry out and sorta yell for a few seconds and then stop. It's almost as if she is having nightmares, although I am not sure they can get those at this age.

She is still fussier then her normal self and isn't drinking/nursing as well as she use to. This meaning, she seems to rather eat less and more often now. Instead of drinking 3 ozs and lasting for 3 hours, she's drinking 1 oz an lasting 1 hour before wanting to be fed again.

Mmm, home made Loco Moco's for dinner.

On the way to get Tyler from school I stopped to get a dishwasher bottle rack. Our counter is cluttered with drying sterilized bottles, so I figured I'd keep the small inner parts (from the dr brown bottles) in this rack in the dishwasher for safe keeping. Especially since Hoku hair is everywhere!

Tyler stayed home with us today because his school has Veteran's Day off. He was a good boy for the most part. The hardest part of the day is during nap time where he always says he is not tired and then insists that I lay down and sleep with him.

Emily still isn't the same so mommy decided to take her to the Pediatrician. And the verdict is ... Colic! BOO, BOO and double BOOOO! This makes Emily fussy and gassy and pretty much unpredictable. Nothing can make it go away completely, the Dr says she has to out grow it. And that can last till she is 6 months old. Until then, we have Mylicon to help with the gas and will be doing a lot of consoling and rocking to help her feel better. A swing and even car rides will help too. Luckily we can do both.

Took Tyler to Toys r us to get a birthday present for one of his classmates. He also had a gift card for his birthday and choose to buy himself a new train. Talking Gordon, oh boy!

Friday, Nov 12

Now that we know what's up with Emily it's easier to plan our day. Packed up the medicine and some milk and went for a quick trip to Gilroy. Mommy got a new jacket and G-ma Jenny got shirts and shoes.

Mental note... remember to bring HOT water. Mommy forgot this and Emily would not drink the milk cold, lol. To improvise, mommy nursed her in the car. Which worked, but every time some one walked passed it was as if they were staring right at her, even if they weren't looking our way.

Clay and the Murakami's came over to visit and brought Chinese food. Mommy had to nurse Emily twice while they were over. Surprisingly she did pretty good while they were there. Tyler graciously shared his Toy Story 3 DVD and we all watched it after dinner. Camden was very interested in the TV, lol. As most babies are since they like the colors and movement.

The maid came this morning so we took Emily and Tyler out. We went to McDonald's for breakfast. Another mental note, the one inside of Walmart sucks for breakfast.
They don't serve anything with eggs. :(

We browsed around Walmart for a while. Ended up getting just a few things. Tyler needed another Thermos water bottle, since he keeps dropping and breaking his at school. This time around he choose the How to train a dragon one ... instead of the more familiar ... Cars, Toy Story or Spiderman.

We went to Toys r us again to kill a little more time. Just so happen there was a Thomas the train sale, buy one and get one for 50% off. So we did just that. Tyler just got a train a few days ago, but since he really has been a good sport about the whole big brother thing and getting less attention and what not ... why not. He's been playing with the trains and keeping himself busy, so this is good for mommy. Especially once Gma has to go home. Mommy needs all the help from his toys that she can get. :P

Too lazy to cook today so got Popeye's chicken. Way better then KFC. :)
