First Canada Day and more..



Wow, time sure is going fast! I can't believe Nathan will soon be 2 months! He is starting to smile more, he loves bathtime! He reached out for a toy the other day and is getting to be more and more alert. He is also making cooing noises, which has to be the most adorable sound I have ever heard. His first Canada day was alot of fun. We went down to the festivites by the beach and hung around with friends. Kris was busy taking tons of photos with his camera, and racing along some bouncy course. He beat a 13 year old on the course and it made his day! Mykaela spent the week with her dad, truckin. In the evening friends took Kris to see the fireworks while I stayed home with Nate. I am so thankfull for all my friends! Kristopher video-ed the fireworks so Brian, Mykaela and I wouldn't miss out. How thoughtfull!

Health wise Nathan has had a few really fussy days. He screamed in pain a couple of times and was really restless and could not settle at all. It was really tough to keep him comfy. I took him to the pediatrician and Nathan was diagnosed with gerd (acid reflux). Poor little guy his tummy was giving him a hard time. He is now on medication and is starting to improve. Which is great , now I don't have to hold and rock him all day long! This is why I haven't had a chance to post thus far.

Nathan has many appointments, I won't post updates on all of them unless there is something new to add. We are meeting all sorts of new people, doctors, nurses, resource workers, new friends who have been or are going through similar journeys. Sometimes all the new people entering into our lives are a little overwhelming. And I know I have many more people still to meet. It will be interesting to learn how to juggle it all. Hopefully I won't drop any balls along the way! I just keep reminding myself to take one day at a time. And to breathe, lol!
