Today...

...was one of those days...

One of our biggest problems with Nathan was that he refused to drink from a bottle.  It was horrible. We vowed Abby would be different- too bad she's not.
So today I finally buckled down on my "lets-get-Abby-to-drink-from-a-bottle" plan which made for one  really long, really frustrating day.  For each of her feedings I would put 1 oz (only 1 oz...that's hardly anything!) in a bottle and have her drink it.  After about 1 HOUR OR MORE of her screaming the entire time she finally gets it all down.  Then I have to really feed her...awful awful awful.
Then I repeat this 4 times.
We couldn't go grocery shopping, couldn't go to the pool...couldn't do anything when she takes an hour and a half to eat. I was so frustrated I yelled at Nathan and made him cry.  He didn't even do anything really wrong---Mother of the Year Award here I come!
To top it all off Chris is on night call at Ben Taub Hospital...after working all day at the VA Hospital. Which means he's didn't come home today---which put Nathan into tears when he realized dad wasn't coming.
And we are going to repeat this for the next 2 days.

Thankfully Nathan was pretty good today- he even picked out dinner all on his own.

Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets (they have no milk products in them- thank you Costco!), peas, corn, and watermelon.  Some of his favorite foods.  I was afraid when I asked him what he wanted he would say "Tiger" (that's what he calls Frosted Flakes) or cookies but he chose a real meal! I was actually pretty proud.

Here's hoping tomorrow will be a little better than today...and that Chris gets off work early...
