Six Weeks With Daddy – Day #9 and #10 – It’s Payback Time!

// April 30th, 2010 // Baby

Mr. Mom was on TV today. I mention this because when I took off work to stay home with the baby I had thought to myself that I wanted to watch Mr. Mom since I would be just that for six weeks. Seeing it on TV today made me think that I should have thought of something better to happen than just a movie coming on TV. If it were going to come true I would much rather it be a winning lottery ticket or something.

Any who, Day #8 was a little off yesterday morning. It all started with the 6am feeding when I thought we were finished and all of the sudden I have almost the entire bottle spit up on me. I cleaned up the mess, wrapped the little one back up and continued on with the day. The next feeding brought the same thing but this time more volume.

It didn’t dawn on me until my wife asked me later that night, “Did you give him his acid reflux medicine today?” DOH I totally forgot to give him his medicine before bedtime the night before and the next morning. No wonder he kept spitting up on me!

That brings us to today, Day #9, where I have given him his medicine and he hasn’t spit up once today. I’ve been giving him this medicine twice a day for the last 3 weeks. I can’t believe I forgot when we’re almost at the end of the bottle!

He’s also made three poopie diapers today and that’s just down right mean. I think it’s payback for forgetting his medicine. By the time I heard the grunting and farting for the 3rd one I had to comment outloud, “Seriously?!”. He likes to smile when he knows he’s got the best of me.

There is a quick and easy summarization of the last two days. Spit up and poop. Oh and I got a root canal in between.

Two weeks down, four to go! I really don’t want it to end!
