Well I thought I would be better at this than Brock but I guess life just gets so busy. Fall has gone by too fast. I went back to work on December 1st and I feel like the days have been flying by. Ian is very excited to have me back as his carpool buddy. He and I listen to books on CD while driving to and from school and then have discussions about them. It really is interesting to see things from his point of view. I am having difficulty adjusting to the return. I specifically chose this time in order to easy myself back into the swing. I only have three more days until winter vacation. And with the students being so excited about Christmas, their chaos covers up for my discombobulation.
Oliver is doing well his weight is slowly increasing. He was put on solids and one bottle of formula a day at his four month check up. He only weighed 11 lbs 1oz but he was 27 1/2. He is very tall (95%) and super skinny (less than 1 %). He seems to like rice cereal and I am going to start him on veggies and fruits soon.

This is a picture of his first time with cereal. He his doing much better with his head control since starting physical
therapy. He last a few minutes before putting his head down on a shoulder now. Here he is also showing off his favorite way to chew on his hand

(this is not posed).
Ian has been very independent lately. He decided he was going to make himself lunch one day and produce a very interesting sandwich. It contained peanut butter,
Nuttella (chocolate hazelnut spread), and (this is the gross part) mayonnaise.

He was very proud of himself. Both Brock and I had a difficult time not saying "
Eww". He said it tasted good. I will take his word for it.
As for Brock, he registered to go back to school. He starts at
UW on January 5
th. He has gotten all of his books and is
pre-reading them during the day while I am at work. He is going back to school to finish his philosophy degree and get a degree in teaching. Oliver goes over to Rhona's during the day. It is nice to know that family can take care of him during the day. Brock could take care of him this month but we thought it would give him time to study without have to care for a baby. Oliver can be quite demanding on some days.

Sounds like a full schedule. Hope you guys all enjoy Christmas!
It's good to keep caught up with you! I know it takes time, but we appreciate the blogs!! Glad little Oliver is doing well.
In my opinion, you are disgusting! Wrongful birth.... Try wrongful parenting....
I'm shocked that you found it necessary to take the hospital to court when they hadn't been negligent. Giving you a chance to kill a child for their disability is reprehensible in any civilised society. It sets a terrible precedent and just increases the hatred of disabled people. I won't be surprised if they appeal and it's lost on appeal.
Don't you think it will be rather upsetting to your sons when they understand that you got $50 million because you wanted to kill one of them, but couldn't? I sincerely hope that you only sued because you can't afford the medical bills that Oliver incurs, not because you truly wish you had murdered your precious baby.
It's to bad your parents didn't abort you. Thank God for his life and disability. I hope it teaches you to be a better person. Also, I probably wouldn't mention the blood money you received for not killing him when he gets older. YOU ARE SCUM.
Think it is time to take down your blog, the words out. I'll pray for you, not just b/c you obviously need it but b/c that is what god would want me to do. ALL children are a gift not to be taken lightly, regardless of any disability. Selfish much?
$50 million for being horrible selfish parents. Dare I even call you the because parents are selfless and love unconditionally. You poor excuse for human beings clearly don't get that. Your children are going to grow up to hate you. Do you really believe they will think that you love or ever wanted either one of them? Your children need to be removed and placed with a family capable of loving them and providing them a good life.You should be aborted because the world and especially your poor children would be far better off without your sickness.
What makes you think someone else should be responsible for a child YOU conceived??? Defect or not he is yours and you deal with it just like every other parent. Nobody owes you anything!! Seriously this world is so screwed up!!!
Congratulations, you are abhorrent monsters who claim to be human beings. I hope both of your sons find out what you did, understand what happened and disown you for your selfish, disgusting way of doing things.
Does Eugenics mean anything to you? You're helping it happen. Good job. Nazis.
Unless you have been put in that situation you have no room to judge someone. If they would have aborted him if they would have known is their right, but it takes no effect on their love for him now. Both my kids were born with an unbalanced chromosome translocation that I had an amino done with both pregnancies that i specifically told them what to look for. I got a negative result not once but twice. So someone obviously dropped the ball. You don't know what you would choose until you're actually face with the reality of it if you knew you're child would need 24 hour care and support for the rest of YOUR life, have hundreds of seizures a day, watch your child deterioate because their bones are becoming brittle, and waiting for the day to start when you child devolpes tumors all over their body. I love my kids dearly and know what I would do without them but would I sue too. You bet I would. Someone dropped the ball, taking my choice away from me. The point of if I would have or wouldn't have is irrelevant. I think they are more then deserving to get awarded that money that the majority would go to the best care and services they can get for him.
I would swallow the $50 million before I would publicly declare that I would have aborted my child, if only for the sake of my other children not seeing me as a sibling killer. That IS how they would view it. Children expect their parents to unequivocally and without question love and protect them, and to see your parent want to destroy your imperfect brother would rock your world and shake the foundation of your being, and how you see yourself. And the would would be a lot scarier place when biggest advocate and protector is no longer your protector.
Both of your boys are so handsome. God bless your family!
Who knows whether the Wuths still read these comments, but please people...watch your words! If you insist on leaving a hateful message, then do not pretend to be a Christian. Remember, he who is without sin may cast the first stone.
Reah, I don't know what your beliefs are, but please do not think that these comments at all represent a Christian viewpoint. I am a Christian, and yes I believe abortion is wrong in all cases. In fact, we probably have differing viewpoints on many issues. I just hope you know that God does not think these hateful things about you. He loves you now and he always will.
Katy C, you are a beautiful human being! In everything you have written, you are absolutely right! God bless your heart. ♡
