I took the weekend off on the blog...so I'll catch everyone up now! Thursday night was another rough one! Around 11:30pm we loaded Darian in his car seat and went on a bit of a road trip...to Carmel. We hadn't seen the new roundabouts on Keystone, so we thought it would be a good time to check them out. We ended up at 28 Star Studio (Loni Wilson's Salon) in downtown Carmel. We parked, peeked in her storefront to check it out, checked on Darian who was finally asleep...then headed home. We just left him in his car seat as we didn't want to disturb him. He only slept for maybe a half hour once we got home. He was still up screaming and crying for a lot of the night! Mommy finally got him to sleep around 3:30 or 4:00am by dancing around the house with him! He was still not great Friday during the day at times, but seemed to be doing better after I got home from work. Maybe he just missed me! :) We grilled chicken and potatoes with rice for dinner. Pretty plain and boring, but we are trying to cut anything out of Rikki's diet that may cause Dee to be upset. We also bought some rice milk for her to drink. It's not too bad. Rik did talk to the doctor again on Friday. She actually called Rikki back herself, which I was impressed by. She told us to get some Pedialyte and give Darian that. We tried, but he didn't like it, and wouldn't really drink it. He did have a rather runny diaper though, so we are making sure he eats often so he stays hydrated. We were both pretty exhausted Friday night, so we turned in early. He started to get upset around 10 or 11 last night, but it didn't last too long. I put him to sleep, swaddled him in his lightweight swaddle sac, and put him in the bassinet. We had a pretty good night Friday. He was only up 3 times, and that was just to nurse. Rik let me sleep, though she tried to wake me once to move Sunshine, and I guess I did...but don't remember! We decided to cancel our photo shoot with Mary-Ellen so we could all be a bit more rested. We are doing it next Saturday instead. We didn't leave the house all day Saturday...except for a quick trip to Marsh to get a few things. Mommy worked on Tball pictures and I did some video editing. We started to go on a walk because there was a break in the rain, but as soon as we got Darian in his car seat and attached to his stroller in started to pour. I took the dogs on a quick stroll in the rain, and we pushed Darian around the garage in his stroller! :) It ended up clearing in the evening. We grilled out again...I had steak, Rik had chicken, and Dee had breast milk! We planned on trying to watch a movie, but it got too late on us and we were both pretty tired. We sat on the couch and watched the tele for a bit. We had a little scare when Rikki was holding Darian and he began to choke. He spit up what seemed a lot like adult phlem? Rik grabbed it with her hand so he didn't suck it back in. We spent the next hour using our little suction thingy trying to get the rest of it out of his mouth. He sounded really congested when he breathed, and we were worried about him choking when we went to sleep last night. We made it through the night pretty well, and slept in a little this morning. Today we have been working some more. I got the yard mowed, and we sat outside on the patio and read for a while, while Darian slept in his swing. We moved inside after some neighbors started shooting off fireworks. Mommy read Darian a book in his room, and he and I started writing a lullaby together on the couch. I played guitar and sang...and he just sang...although it was more of a cry I guess. I likened it to teenage girls crying at a N' Sync concert or something...:) We grilled out once again. Raspberry Talapia, rice (for Rik), potato's (for me)...fresh green beans, and grilled apples with cinnamon and brown sugar! Yum! Going to try to relax for a bit then hit the sack! Nite nite.
Love,
Zach, Rikki and Darian
