Physical Therapy and more . . .

Yesterday the physical therapist, Stefanie, came to do some work with Lucas.  She's super cool and Lucas loved her, which helped.  The things she told me to do are so small I probably wouldn't have even known how to do them, or that they were helping in any way.  One of the things was having him sit up, like on my lap, and holding him back just a small fraction.  This way he has to lift up his head just a tiny bit more than he does when sitting straight up.

It's hard because I can see just how much effort it takes for him to hold his head up.  He often leans it back and rests it looking up because it takes less strength to do that.  When he actually holds it up straight it's the equivalent of us lifting up a big weight in the air with one of our arms.  Poor kiddo.

I have multiple meetings scheduled at work next week to sort out stuff that hasn't been going as peachy as I would like it to.  This will be hard because I'm not quite sure when Lucas will be eating.  Now I know how all those moms at work feel, trying to schedule their lunch hour around their child's eating schedule.  It's a mentality shift for me, work does not come first, Lucas does.  That's new and part of the balance.  At least he takes a bottle well, so if I have to I can let the girls in the infant room feed him and I can pump later, it just takes more time in the long run.

And I'm not sure HOW I'm going to do campaign in March.  He has been going to bed at 7:30 pm and campaign usually lasts until 7, and then we clean up after.  I think I'll ask to do more work on set up and then I can just take off right at 7.  Hopefully that will work.

So, a new video.  I think sometimes these videos are boring for my Facebook friends.  But I know if people are reading this blog they just can't get enough of Lucas, so here you go!  Video.  I'll have another one soon.
