Asher Benjamin turned six months old yesterday! Seems a little crazy that hes been here for half a year already! Its also a little sad to think of how quickly it passed by and how fast the next six months will fly...soon we'll have a one year old!
Asher is now crawling everywhere! We have been baby gate shopping so we can block off the second living room and make it a snack free zone. It has been a little stressful following Kylee around to make sure shes not dropping animal crackers everywhere!
Asher LOVES Kylee. He wants to do everything with her and everything like her! So now he has a sippy cup, so they can watch Elmo together and have a juice cup together! He loves it. Of course Asher's cup has pedialyte in it....but he thinks they are enjoying the same thing!
Sometimes during dinner, we put them in their high chairs next to each other....and they laugh the whole dinner....its like they are little best friends! She can make him laugh when hes crying. Its so awesome to see : ) Part of me doesn't feel old, but then sometimes I look at them and think "Thats my sister's baby and the other one is my baby" and I know that we're getting up there!
One last thing about Asher, we are truly excited about this one! Neocate (the makers of his formula) has put their medical food paste back on the market! When I got this update from Neocate, I literally had myself a good cry.
I didn't post at the time, because it was so depressing, but Asher failed both of his food trials.....and he is always hungry now! Its draining feeding him every two hours and waking up every two hours at night! I'm hoping that we can get a prescription for the food paste and try it out next week. We are hoping it will keep him filled up longer and maybe we'll all be a little happier and more rested! Heres to hoping!
On other fronts. It was brought to my attention recently, that I never followed up on my liver issues. I can't believe I didn't do that, especially since I got very good news. My tumors are harmless tumors that are called FNH....they don't turn into cancer and very rarely do they get biggger. I will have an MRI in six months just to make sure....but many people live with these tumors to a very old age! It was such a relief to get that kind of news. As far as stress goes, Asher's medical problems are enough for me!
Anyway, Yesterday I got together with a bunch of other moms that I have been talking to since I got pregnant! It was very cool to meet these girls and attach faces to the women who have given me so much support and great advice throughout pregnancy and my troubles after Asher came! We plan on doing another get together in the warm weather when all the kids are mobile!
The basement project is still in full swing. We have an electrican coming and the contractor next weekend to finish up the big work downstairs....and then we just have tp pick out paint and set up shop downstairs. Its going to be great to have more space! I'll post pictures once the project is done : )
