Baby on a Plane

So if you read my last post you know that I am leaving for Oregon on Friday!! On A plane, with a 11 month old!! I am scarred poopless to do this!!! I have my sucker ready for take off and landing to pop his ears any other advice? I was thinking a dvd player with cartoons!!

Oregon Here We Come

Friday Ben and I leave for Eugene Oregon on a Jet plane pretty sure I will be back again...I think!!! KIDDING!!! I am so excited to go back and see my friends, my college, go shopping ,eat some killer food, enjoy the beautiful views, watch the Ducks play and hang with 2 wonderful little girls!!!!! I can not wait to show Ben the ocean!!!

Very sad because I will not see Ryus until October 16th, he left for work and will be back Friday night and we leave for Oregon on friday morning so we will miss him before we leave, so sad!! I get back on a Monday and then he gets back from work that Friday so a very long time. Ryus is back to work, as long as he takes care of himself and does not push it, this is a good thing!!

Official

it has been 12 days since ben has nursed.So...I am going to say its official, ben weaned himself! It was bitter sweet and very hard at first, but now it is such a nice FREEDOM!!! Jessie I figured out how to wean our boys, just flick him! KIDDING!!

I am still pumping so I don't get engorged, and Ben love his half milk half breast milk. I wwas scared to give him milk at first but did not have much of a choice, but it has gone really well. When I give him him sippy of milk he chugs the whole thing at once!! CRAZY KID!

CrAsH!

Ben's first battle wound from trying to walk!!

NURSING STRIKE

Ben's top tooth FINALLY came in and now he thinks he can bit me!!! Well... he really bite me yesterday and I flicked him and we both cried!! I cried becuase it hurt so damn bad, and he cried because it hurt his feelings! Then when I was going to nurse him for the last time before bed he decided to bite me again...I flicked him and then kind of tossed him to Ryus and then cried again, from the pain!

So since this morning Ben has refused to nurse one single time and has been a monster and will NOT take his naps and I feel so horribly bad!!! I looked some things up on the internet and a lot of them say that this can happen, they will go on strike for a few days and then they will eventually come back to the boob!!

I just have this horrible feeling that he is weaning himself and it hurts my feelings because I was not quite ready for it! And besides what do you do...I can't give him milk quite yet and heck no with formula...and the sound of pumping again...well....that would just SUCK!!! I feel very lost and little hurt!!

****And the whole biting the nipple thing really FREAKIN hurts, it is almost the worst pain...ALMOST!!!*****

Ryus and the Wheelchair

So let me tell you the whole story of how Ryus is now in a wheelchair!!!

He decided to jump and 75 foot jump on his dirt bike in Page Arizona ( where he has been working) he landed it put when he landed there was a bush (very large Ryus says) (huge) and he tried to ride a wheelie over it but failed too and his bike hit the bush and stopped and he was launched over the handlebars. The handle bars hit just below his knees! He shattered his helmet but got back up and rode the bike back to his friends house. The next morning he was not able to walk so his dad sent someone to go get him and bring him back home.

We really HATE SJRMC so we went to Mercy in Durango and they x -rayed his legs and they found nothing!!! THEY DIAGNOSED HIM WITH BILATERAL KNEE PAIN....LAME!!! And said that if he was not better in a week go see the Orthopedics, so we did and low and behold he had fractured both tibial plateaus and he needed to be in braces and a wheelchair, absolutely no walking on it for 6 weeks!

He had his follow up today and everything looks good, he still has 2 weeks before he is released for work. So...another 2 weeks of having him home. Which has been so great for Ben, he is such a daddies boy now and he for sure knows who Ryus is!! Its weird having him in my space during the day but I am growing to like it!! Pretty sure this will be the only time Ben and I will ever have Ryus home like this...until retirement!

Ryus is the master at popping wheelies in the wheelchair and has already grown to love being in one, he wish's he could be in some kind of olympics for the wheelchair bound!!! He tells me the other day as he is riding a wheelie in his wheelchair with Ben sitting in his lap..." do you think Ben thinks he has the COOLEST dad?"

So...if you know Ryus please come and see him he gets a little bored and needs someone to talk too!!! Well..besides me and BEN!!
