Time Consuming!


This week has been very busy and a lot of fun also. My mother came in on Saturday to watch Ava while I went to work this week. The weekend was relaxing except for the horrible choking incident. On Sunday we were eating dinner when all of a sudden Mr. Zach was not breathing! We had just put his food down and were getting our plates together to sit down to eat. He looked at me with a look of panic and all three adults in the room went into panic mode! Mom and Andy were trying to get him out of his seat that he was buckled into. Someone managed to get one buckle undone but left the other one done up. Then someone tried to pull him from the chair anyway. He was stuck and still choking. I freaked and told them to move. I got him out, threw him upside down and slammed on his back to get the food out. It didn't work so I kept him upside down and stuck my finger down his throat. He started to gag then he started to breath! Oh, thank GOD! He was so upset that he was screaming his heart out. It was a scary experience for everyone involved and I think I shook for about 10 minutes afterwards. We still don't know if it was broccoli or turkey burger that he choked on because the dogs were there before we could see. Gotta love the walking vacuums!
I also went to work for a few days while Ava stayed home with Nannie. Nannie said she was a wonderful baby and no trouble at all. Ava is really turning into a lovely little baby. If she is fed, in a clean diaper and doesn't have gas, then she is happy. It's funny because her brother to this day will still sit in poop, but she complains about it almost as soon as it happens. She also had her two month appointment. 5 shots! It was horrible but I managed to hold back the tears this time around. I felt so bad for her but, as soon as they were over, she was fine. Just had a tired evening but didn't complain. She also now weighs 11 lbs 5 oz and is 23.25 inches long. 75% all around.
On Thursday night we took the family to the Farmer's Market in Redlands. We ate, walked around and bought stuff. Zach also saw two of his daycare friends. I think it was weird for him to see them outside of daycare. He was so excited and it bought us a little more time to look around.
All in all it has been a good week. The choking incident put a damper on it, but there was a good outcome and I realized that my mommy instincts are working. Next week we are off to NH to see the family! I can't wait! Well, minus the flying with two babies part. I'll let you know how that goes :)
