We planned to only stay a few days but Oliver had an asthma attack (I so thought we were done with those) that necessitated him getting albuterol treatments every four hours (including in the middle of the night) so the plan was for Brian to come down to San Antonio on Friday after work so we could have more adults on hand to care for both kiddos. Unfortunately, Brian came down with a stomach flu Thursday night so Henry, Oliver, and I ended up spending the rest of the weekend in San Antonio to avoid getting sick.
We managed to have a good time despite the asthma attacks and Daddy quarantines, though. We went to the Witte Museum to see their new dinosaur exhibit. In true almost four year old style, Oliver is obsessed with dinosaurs so even through his constant coughing he had a really great time.
I also got to introduce Henry to my best friend from high school, Seema. And Mom and I got lots of shopping done (including a trip to the new Trader Joe's in San Antonio). And both boys did great on the trips down there and back. So, our first trip to San Antonio was a rousing success!
Henry is continuing to beef up (although he's nowhere near as beefy as his brother was at this age) but he's still not alert for much of the day. I keep reminding myself that he's only supposed to be two weeks old at this point but it's hard not to compare him to Oliver who, at five weeks old, was already smiling at us. It's dangerous to compare one kid to another anyway but my boys had almost four weeks difference in their gestational age at birth so it's really not a fair comparison (and it just causes unneeded stress... as opposed to all of that stress we need). For now I will continue to enjoy our easy baby who still just eats, sleeps, and poops.
Here are the pictures from this week. He's finally starting to stretch out his legs!
