Milestones and Moments with Our Growing Baby
Celebrating Three Months Together on earth
This week has been incredibly busy, and the pace shows no signs of slowing down as we head into next week. Today, as I write this on Father’s Day, I want to wish a Happy Belated Father’s Day to all the fathers out there.
In my journey into entrepreneurship and writing, I’ve enlisted the help of one of my close allies as a motivational coach to keep me honest and on track. During our conversations, I learned something eye-opening about the cost of insulin in the US. While many of us have heard about the $35 price cap for insulin, that's only part of the story. If you use an insulin pump, the cost can still exceed $1,000 a month. This reality has made me think more deeply about long-term options for people dependent on insulin.
Many argue that such costs should be covered by the government or companies, but I see it differently. Socializing medicine has its own set of challenges and costs. Without the ability for companies to make a profit, innovation can be stifled. What then would be the incentive to develop new and better treatments? This is a complex issue that I hope to explore further in the future, but it certainly made for an interesting conversation this past week.
This past week also brought us our first baby cold. Our little one had a slight cough and some sneezing. While it wasn’t severe and we know many more colds are inevitable, no parent wants to see their child sick. It was particularly challenging because we were also supposed to be celebrating our son’s 3-month birthday this week!
With his 3-month birthday came the transition to 3-month diapers. It’s absolutely fascinating how fast our baby boy is growing and how quickly the size of his diapers has increased. His head control has improved significantly and has come a long way in just a few months.
The last surprising thing he learned was how to control his own farts and hold things in his hands. My baby is finally able to make himself fart, which, as any parent knows, makes soothing much easier. This is one of many skills I know he will learn. Additionally, his grip is developing. He’s able to hold rattles and even a light bottle. Our son is becoming less of a blob and more of a skilled human as the days go by.
Lastly this week, we learned of the passing of our neighbor. He lived a full life into his 80s but it is always sad when a friend passes. Rest in peace our friend George! Thank you for the good debates and support during pregnancy.
