01-7-2009 - Update on Little Man okMy mood while writing this blog:
ok



Thanks to those of you who commented on my last blog. I do want too clear something up. From all the blogs I have posted about Steve and his girlfriend Bev concerning Evan, I have never said he doesn't love him. I have a problem with Steve doing things on his own without telling or asking me. My other problem is being second guessed bye the both of them. And the last thing is I know Steve isn't trying to harm Evan in anyway health wise that is. I don't agree with either of them "playing house" with Evan. I can't stand that when it comes to Evan, Steve listens to every other person in his life except me. And when I say that, this is the change that he goes thru....first it's Bev, then his mom, then his friends, then he'll think about what they all say and then finally me. It's NOT a jealously thing at all by no means. I'm Evan's mother noone else, so when he has him whether it be for a few hours or over a weekend, he should do things like me. I get that he his is his father and he needs to figure it out on his own. But when it comes to things like formula and diapers, he needs to use what I use..not what someone else tells him to use. When Steve picks him up and he's fine and then he comes back with something wrong, like breathing, sneezing, caughing,and finally last but not least my personal favorite colic I have a problem with that. So it's not jealousy, it's me being a mom. I don't want everyone to think that Steve doesn't love Evan....I just don't like being overruled when it comes to him.

So monday morning my dad's nurse came out to do his normal weekly visit and I asked her to listen to Evan after I was finished giving him his breathing treatment, so she did. she used to be a pedi's nurse so I figured she should know if sounds ok. When she was done listening she said I should continue doing the treatments on him because it did sound a little different. What that means I have no clue. So I did gave him 4 more treatments monday on into tuesday. Yesturday he woke up breathing better....no more shallow breath sounds, but still a tiny raddleing. From what it sounds like now verses when he came home it's a 100% better, thank god. I can deal with the sneezing and runny nose. He stopped caughing so I feel better about that. Little man is doing better but as of yesturday his new thing is not to want to eat....I don't know what this is about. He won't take his bottle, no food, no juice, he will take a water bottle. So I'm gonna see how this morning goes.

As for what I'm going to do about him going to Steve's....I don't know. I am very torn about this. On one hand I want to say no, but then on the other hand I truely can't stop him from seeing his dad. We haven't been in front of a judge yet for friend of the court, he's not paying child support (again because his friends told him not too), there is no set visitation. I don't like him going for the weekends because Bev is there. I've told Steve many many times he can come here anytime he wants to see Evan but he won't. If he can't come pick him up and take him there he just won't come visit at all, period end of discission. I've even tried getting him to meet us at the park, come bye his house to he could see him, but he always says no because he's either tired or not home and my favorite...no because Bev's here. So I have tried to give him plenty of options. But if it involves me in anyways he doesn't want to see his kid....I have a problem with that. I am never going to say Steve you can't see Evan, I will never deny him that right or that relationship. But as of right now I think Evan should not go. But when I say that to Steve then I'm just being a bitch and how it's not fair too him. So as you can tell I have I big issue to deal with.

I think you need to tell him smoking increases the chance of SIDS. I also want to say I grew around my grandmother and aunts smoking. I hated it. I was always kinda sick as a kid because of it. Everytime I'm around people smoking and especially if there's no good ventilation I have shallow breaths like that too. My breathing is off. I also found out as a preteen I had asthma. So your son could have a mild case of that, who knows. I'd talk to a peditrician. And ask Steve to smoke outside and not in the house since its obviously affecting your son. I seriously can't sleep well because my breathing is off when people smoke. I'm not against smoking, but I am against people smoking around me and children.

Indeed, as SAHM mom said, it's so tricky. I can see why you're torn. I'd be worried too if someone were second guessing me about my baby's care. :( Honestly, it's true. You're with him far more than either Steve or Bev, or ANYONE. And your advice should be like gold to them. I do think it's reprehensible that Steve continues to smoke when Evan is there. :( Funny how Bev hasn't told him to stop. If she did, would he? :) Maybe you can ask her to ask him? For the health of Evan. She seems to be a needy (and needley) little woman, and you can play her little game to Evan's advantage. But I also think it's reprehensible that he's not paying child support. (Have they taken another "vacation" since that last one in North Carolina? We just decided not to go on a vacation, recently, because of baby expenses.)

hun I never said to you that steve doesnt love his son i bet he does just in a mans kinda of way though....but yes I can tell from what you say that he loves him, but I think you are dealing bev being the ruler of him on what he can and cant do all the time.......it seems to me like she has him wrapped around his finger and when she says jump she asks how high.....I am not saying to stop him from seeing all together I guess i should of been more clear with what i was sayign to you cause every child needs a daddy around....but what you should do is stop the over night visits with him for a little while until evan gets a little older....this is all new to him and from what i gather bev doesnt have any of her own child either to know much about babies and their wants and needs.....and yes steve should listen to you first because you are his mother your right, and he really shouldnt be changing his formula cause all that is going to cause evan to do is devolope more gas than normal and also to spit up even more you can even ask a doctor if you change a baby all the time on a formula then the baby will get sick from it and be more gassy and colic and also get sick and throw up a lot more than normal....all babies spit it's the amount that they spit up and if they dont gain weight at all and or loose weight from throwing up......all my children had acid reflux and so does colby but it took a month to figure that out and now he is on meds for it that work and he is not in pain after he spits up now.....but you will never know hw good he will do on formula if you dont get steve to understand that they cant and really shouldnt change his formula at all......I wish you all the luck with this issue here....but I am going to stop now because i only know of the issue from what you are telling us and i am no expert in this either...lol.....all I can do is give you my opion and thats what I have been giving you.....hope I havent upset you at all.....and again good luck
