12 weeks

Abel is 12 weeks old today! He is a really good baby. He smiles all the time, loves to eat and well sleeps like a baby. Which means he doesn't sleep much. Who ever made up the saying slept like a baby? When I get a chance I sleep sound and could sleep for ever-a baby only sleeps for 2-4 hours and then gets up again. The saying should be sleeps like a mom! He did sleep 7 hours last week-only for one night. It was wonderful but I woke up in a panic.

My two boys :)
Axel showing off his tricks
I can't believe that I missed a over a week on my blog. Life has been really busy. Back to work and every thing that comes with it. Breast feeding is still going very well. I only made it to 4 months with Axel and was having a hard time keeping up the last month. I've been bring home about the same amount that Abel eats and then when I'm home he only breast feeds and doesn't take bottle. I have to give props to any women who ever tries to breast feed. It's a big commitment, but I'm super happy that things are going well for Abel and I. (and it saves us on formula costs) My goal is at least 6 months-so far so good. Work has been crazy since I've been back. I work at a Pediatric Oncology clinic. (kids with cancer) We had 6 new diagnoses when I was on leave and 2 more since I've been back. We do case management for all our patients along with giving chemo and caring for the families. It's an amazing new clinic that is growing a ton. Before six years ago any child that got cancer in the state of Alaska had to leave the state for treatment, now they get to stay in state. Which is really cool. So needless to say Prayer for all the bald children! It makes me so grateful for all the health we have in our house.

What a rewarding job, Shanna. Although I am sure that you wish you could stay at home with your boys, at least you feel good about what you are doing. ;) Can you tell I want a new job. HAHA. Abel looks so tall!!!
