Oh my sweet boy! Time is definitely going by pretty fast, as it always seems to in the first few months...and yet it also seems like you've been around a LOT longer than just three months! What's with that!? Anyway, I just wanted you to know a few things about this last month's developments. First of all, you are now down to only having your evening and nighttime feedings pumped and thickened! Hooray! What a relief! It also seems to not have affected you much at all! And we've also thankfully dropped you down to only ONE dose of Reglan a day-this is really good news because that stuff is not the greatest medicine and I am constantly praying that none of its awful side effects ever reach your little body...the reason for these changes is we finally got to visit the GI specialist and he was pleased with your progress. He has also scheduled another Upper GI and swallow study to be done next week and I have been praying all month that the results would show that your reflux has all but gone away! I'm also praying the same radiologist is there to preform the study so that he too can be amazed by the work of the Lord! I'll let you know what happens...
Other than your reflux non-issues the only news is that you're continuing to develop your own little personality-easy with the smiles and babbles and enjoying getting to sit in the bumbo seat and lay on the play mat ( I finally decided it was safe since you have hardly been spitting up at all!)-we've got to get those neck and back muscles strong! You definitely have distinct cries-something I don't really remember as much with your brother and sister-and the one where you're ticked off or straight up mad is kind of my favorite ( isn't that mean of me!?) I guess its just sort of fun to see that you ARE a little person with your own definite opinions! For instance you've recently started NOT liking it when I talk while I'm feeding you. You really get mad! I suppose you want me to sit in silence while you eat- sorry friend, that just can't happen!
You're rocking a 10pm till 4:30am ( it would be later, but I have to pump before you can eat so that stinks) sleep time and are on a pretty good 9am,12, 3pm, 6pm eating schedule otherwise. Most days at least ONE of your naps is nonexistent to short because of the need for us to leave the house. Turns out it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get anything done with your current 3 naps a day plus your sister's one nap. So yeah. Mommy is a tad stir crazy.
But sweet boy, you are worth a little stir craziness. We live for your smiles and your babbles and can't wait to watch you grow even more!
Praising the Lord for all He has done in your life so far! Mommy
