This is Ryan’s new wedge. It is made specifically for him so he can have tummy time.
It’s kindof like those pillows you use for pregnancy massages, but his has a cutout for his heart.
He loves it, really.
This is him throwing such a fit that he’s eating the blanket.
It’s over, but he’s still crying. Seriously, dude.
The wedge was delivered last week. I found that if I start him on his back and lay down beside him, then roll him to his side still talking to him, and then flip him to his stomach with me still down on his level he doesn’t cry for the first few minutes. It’s the immediate back to front that he doesn’t like. It’s a totally new sensation. Can you imagine living your whole life on your back and one day being flopped on your tummy?
Here he is in a much better mood:

He is so cute. He certainly knows what he wants and it is not being on his belly! The wedge is great and with that cutout!
Living your life on your back in hard…
I love the cut out. Poor guy.

He is so very precious.Hang on there lil’ man…it’ll get better.
With Polly’s belly surgeries, it was hard for her to have tummy time too. I hope he starts to enjoy it more with time…love his beautiful smile!!

Karsie has a tummy time mat for her omphalocele… and she hates it too! She has recently figured out a way to avoid using her arms and doing any work! You can see her mat at our blog:

She only recently stopped screaming when we do tummy time. She used to scream and scream the whole time and we would do 5 minutes 2-3 times a day… it was torture on all of us! It will get better 🙂
