Sizing Up
misty · Sun, Dec 6, 2015Today was a pretty laid back day compared to yesterday. We took Sophie to the vet for the first time in like a decade. The verdict: she has an ear infection and needs treatment for fleas and irritation on her skin. The whole ordeal took a bit over 2 hours. Milo was incredibly good during all of it. She just sat back and looked around. Toward the end, she was getting super tired because she’d been up for around 4 hours with no nap, which is kind of a marathon. She fell asleep easily just before we left and slept all the way home. Good nap.
The rest of the day is kind of a blur. Chase took care of Milo a lot of the day. She napped well. Tonight she even took a bottle; it took some doing, though. At first she just wanted to play with it, but she began drinking it when I gave it to her. So I quickly gave her back to Chase, and she finished the bottle with him. It’s so nice to see him feed her.
Last night Milo woke up at around 3:40am. We didn’t do a dream feed because I (mistakenly) thought she was going to be able to sleep through the night without it. So tonight we’ll definitely do the dream feed so that she hopefully sleeps through the night.
Notes:
I’m thinking about investing more time (and money) in essential oils. I think the lavender is really helpful to Milo’s sleep, and I’d rather depend on oils than giving Milo a ton of medicines when she’s not feeling well. Also, Michelle and lots of other moms/midwives in her circle believe in the benefits of essential oils. I bought a book and am going to begin doing a bit more research so that I can feel good about using them. Then, I just may order a few more and try them out!
Milo sized up on diapers today. Truthfully, she should have sized up a couple of weeks ago, but we still had a couple of packages of the smalls. So I should say that today Milo ran out of small diapers and moved up to mediums.
