To Feed?.... Or Not To Feed?...

Nothing major has happened the last little bit. We're still just waiting for our loan to go through on the house. Last week we had the house inspection done and everything came back good, well, except the guy couldn't get the furnace to turn on. He said that it's trying to light but there's no gas getting to it. He said that all we need to do is have the lines purged and that it's nothing major. But other than that, everything is good! I'm not a patient person and this waiting stuff for the loan is killing me!!! I just want to get in there and get going on the projects!

As far as the kids go, Logan and Chase are doing really well. Chase thinks that Logan is the coolest thing since sliced bread. He just sits and watches Logan all day and laughs hysterically at him, it's actually quite entertaining. I can't wait until Chase is a little more mobile and can play with Logan. Oh yeah, that reminds me, Chase is rolling over now!!! YEAH!!! He can only roll from his back to his stomach, but I'm so excited! But just this morning I took Chase to the pediatrician and he is doing really good, contrary to what WIC said last week. WIC tried telling me that he was too fat and too short and that I'm overfeeding him! Talk about tick me off! Ray told me to ignore what WIC says and to just go by what the doctor says. Anyways, I let WIC get to my head and so I started cutting out some of his feedings like they told me to and now for the result he is no longer sleeping through the night and I'm not happy about it. So when I took him to the doctor this morning for his 6 month check up they said not to believe WIC and that he just fine and to go back to what I was doing before. Talk about relief because I'm not a happy person when I don't get my sleep. But as for Chase, he weighs 19.4 pounds (75%) and for his height he is 26 1/4" (50%). So take that WIC, he is just fine!!! I would quit going there, but I can't afford the formula without it. So I should be thankful that I'm able to participate in the program.

But other than that, things are relatively low key and boring around here. We're just having fun picking out carpet and paint and planning what we want to do everywhere on the house!!

Ummm.... WIC said to stop feeding your baby so much? That goes against everything a mother should do. It's not like you're force feeding the kid... One thing about a baby -- they know when they are hungry and when they are not. Someone needs to have a stern "talking-to" with the WIC counselor you consulted with.

Feed the kid and start sleeping again!!!

I hated going to WIC appointments with Carson because they always had something to say that made you feel like you weren't doing enough as a mother. Don't listen to them, you gotta healthy kid there.

Guess we all have our quelms about WIC. . . but like you say, they do become a life saver when trying to pay for things!!!

I never listen to what others say when it comes to my kids, cuz they're not there all the time. Instinct comes first, I think!! You know what's best and you're doin great!! I hope he goes back to sleepin through the night for you!!

No one knows their baby like a Mom does! I can relate to how you feel; I had a wheelchair-bound, obese, old lady tell me when Troy was 7 months old that he was the fattest baby she had ever seen, in fact, he was too fat! It almost bothered me but I'm glad I laughed it off cause he's PERFECTLY healthy all around right now; unlike her!
