Colin Bennett: 45 Weeks

April 9th marked Colin's 45th week with us! An eventful week for sure- one that included a two night stay at A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children.

Weight: 19-20 give or take a few ounces. Probably on the low end of that due to two days of no eating. :-/

This photo breaks my heart. 104.9 fever.

Health: Fever, tonsillitis and IVs. On Thursday, 4/3 my Dad watched Colin due to the fact that he had a high fever (102.5) the day prior and a visit to the pediatrician confirmed that he should stay home to fight off a virus. When I got home from work, My Mom and I took his temp and it was sky high (104.9). We immediately packed our bags and headed to the Children's hospital. We were admitted after a few hours in the emergency room due to the fact that C's throat was covered in puss and sores and he was unwilling to eat. Poor guy was on an IV for two days. The docs confirmed that it was a virus and it had to run its course but to be safe, they did give him a dose of IV antibiotics as well.

Baby IV- our little champ did so well!

Social: C spent two nights (Thursday 4/3 and Friday 4/4) in the hospital. We rested the remainder of the week. However, we did get in a nice little afternoon at the playground.

Playground fun!

Sleep: C is finally sleeping through the night!

Sweet baby

Diet: new: hummus and yogurt! C also tried vanilla pudding in the hospital. Hey- we were desperate for him to eat anything!

Clothes: 12 month pants, 9 and 12 month onesies, 12 month jamies and size three diapers.

Baby Gear Love: The wonderful doctors at AI DuPont Children's hospital. C also took his first ride on a baby swing and it was a BIG hit!
 

Crying: C was so miserable this week. Poor guy.

Likes: Snuggling

Dislikes: IVs and catheters

Starting to feel better by night II in the hospital. I got a half smile!

Postpartum: I've been a running fool!

Milestones: First hospital stay :(

Discharge day! There is that smile we know and love!

Positive milestone- first ride in a swing and down a slide with Mommy!

 

This week, Mommy also got to celebrate one of her best friend's bridal showers and bachelorette. We love you, Aunt Kelly!
