A month....January 8

 
It is kind of hard to believe that Weeman has been with us just over a month. January 8 was a month. He did so well with our family in China. He was eating well, sleeping well, playing well and having a smooth transition into our family. Now that we are home and settling in, he seems to be more restless. He is having night terrors between 3 and 6 times a night. Waking, screaming for mama but not wanting either myself or Jason to hold, touch or help him in any way. This is hard. This is so emotionally hard. My heart is so broken, knowing he needs to work through this on his own.

He is eating great, playing great and will go with either one of us when wake and going about his day. He is actually pretty funny and loves to play with Miss Diva. His laugh is so funny and I love it.

 Playing a fishing game with Miss Diva Christmas morning. They loved this game and I loved seeing them play together and building a bond. makes this mamas heart so happy.

 When weeman is screaming and we cannot get him to settle, the only thing we know to help him, is water. Water seems to calm him and he loves to play in the tub. He splashes and makes a huge mess but it helps him relax, so this mama is willing to put him in the tub, anytime of the day.

 They were playing together and they got in the laundry basket together. Miss Diva thought it was so much fun pushing him around in the basket.

When we got home, we had very little clothes that actually fit him. He is 21 months, fitting in 12 month clothing. I had to go shopping and buy a few outfits because everything we have is to big and way to long. He has very short legs and a big belly. So darn cute.

Dru was suppose to go to McMaster on Friday but we had to cancel because he was not  feeling well, running a fever. Now he goes down to see the Plastic surgeon on January 23. February 4 to see the rest of the cleft team. Tomorrow, January 12, is to see our family doctor, to talk about immunizations and all that fun stuff. We have a busy few weeks coming for sure.

Madisyn is doing okay. Going back to school was a little hard. She has been with us for four weeks straight. 2 weeks in China and then out for the Christmas holidays. She didnt want to leave him. The first thing she does when she gets home, is to find her brother and give him a kiss. How cute is that!I am glad she is getting back into routine and now we have to try and figure out a time for swimming lessons.

Overall, we are doing okay! Things could be a lot worse but we are trying some new things to help him. Massages, chiropractor and lavender night balms to help him relax. We will get through this!
