No not me...well maybe lol. Little bum is tired all the time these days. He wakes up tired and shows tired signs throughout the day. Anybody else experiencing the same thing with their youngsters? He was teething last week but we can't see anything this week. Could be the heat. We had him in for his first adoption clinic visit at CHEO on Tuesday which went well. We asked about the recent tired all the time issue and the Dr. thought it was due to adjustment....hmmmm, that seems like the automatic response to any questions we have about our little man's health. In any event, we have to return next week so they can take his blood and do some standard tests. I think daddy is going to have to be with him during the needle part because I will be too upset if little guy gets upset and I've heard it is quite an ordeal as they have to take a lot of blood. Yikes! Anyway, maybe the tests will show an iron deficiency or something that may explain things.
This weekend is going to be a fun but exhausting one for him. My mother arrives Saturday then we will be driving to a home just outside Ottawa for an adoptive family gathering. Then we have a Pat and Van birthday BBQ Sat night and a joint birthday party Sunday afternoon with the Samantha and Woody's twins who are 2 years old on the 19th (Van is 1 on the 21st). Other adoptive families will be there too, yay. I will be sure to take lots of pics! We actually just bought a new and better camera today so are looking forward to testing it out!
Oh and tomorrow is his first official haircut so there will be new camera testing then as well!
In the meantime, here are a few summer pics:
Into the flower pot! (taken with my IPhone so not the greatest quality):
Testing, tasting and not really liking a popsicle (a little problem with the brain freeze):
Could it be a growth spurt? I know both boys tend to eat a lot and sleep a lot and then all of a sudden seem to have gained weight or grown taller.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are all doing well!
It could be part of adjusting. He might be low on iron as well. The CHEO doctor recommended we give M. iron supplement (ask the pharmacist) or red meats.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see you guys on Sunday and good luck with the blood samples. Try to go when the clinic opens as they reduce staff around 4pm.
Aww, he looks so sweet!
ReplyDeleteWith our sleepyheads it was iron, and it took months of supplements before we saw a difference. They were also more tired again for a few weeks when we stopped. The heat, teething, growth spurts, new activities - all of these still cause extra naps. Lucky us!
