Today was Henry's due date birthday of 3 months. We went on walks in the morning and evening. Jeff did most of the Henry sitting today, so that I could work. I believe that they watched a lot of football together. At one point in the afternoon, Jeff took Henry on the back porch to get some fresh air. Henry weighed 12 lbs 4.5 ozs. He didn't eat that much today and was a bit of a pain to feed. He kept sticking his tongue out, which usually means he is hungry, but then he would move his head a lot, as though he didn't want the bottle.
Henry was supposed to go over to my parents' house today. But my mom called and said that she had a stuffy nose. She thought it was allergies, but we didn't want to take any chances. My dad was going to come over and watch him, but considering that one is a carrier of the cold a day or two before one shows symptoms, we decided that we'd take care of Henry today. My dad didn't want to break his streak of seeing Henry every day. So he went to Walgreens and got a face mask. He stopped by for 12 minutes, just to say hello. There is some controversy over the effectiveness of the face mask. But some of the NICU nurses said that it was OK to use, but the effectiveness wears off after 12 minutes or so. My dad's Henry streak is still intact.In the evening, Henry was indecisive about eating. I did some tummy time with him. It didn't go well. He kept face planting himself. Frustrating. We ended up giving him a bath, which tired him out. He and Jeff are asleep. I'm signing off to sleep now too.
