Rough week

Monday we had a doctors appt to just follow up on growth! B had grown in length and weight was 8 lbs 12.5 oz.  When the doctor came in I was feeding B a bottle.   The dr asked about GER D or reflux. I said I knew what it was but he seemed ok.

By Monday night, my sweet calm baby had started to show signs of discomfort.  I started to document symptoms and we went back to the doctor on wed. So now B is on Prilo$ec.  He doesn't like it and gets angry but it seems to be helping a bit.  I just can't wait for the screaming to stop. It happens when he is sleeping and awake. He throws his head around and arches his back.  It's all very sad and exhausting.

The number of daily visitors has died down and sometimes I miss it! We have been out a lot.  I usually plan outings for right after he eats and he sleeps the whole time!

I thought going to the supermarket would be impossible and my mom offered to watch him but I went when she was at work.  With the carrier in the back of the cart and my coupon binder in the front seat, I had to be very creative with where I stuck stuff but it worked out.

We have a busy weekend with my nieces first holy communion and niece/nephews baseball games.  I am excited for seventy degree weather!

1 week old.....4/14/13

We had our first pediatrician appointment on Monday the 15th. Our dr was away last week and we had a home nurse visit last Thursday.  Brayden left the hospital at 7pounds1ounce.  When we went to the drs, he was 8 pounds 3 ounces.  So I had a breakdown last week and paid for a lactation consultant because he was having latch issues but I guess we didn't really need it. It provided me with piece of mind.  Besides the lactation consultant and pediatrician are both in agreement that I needed an ENT referral to have the frenulum under B's tongue because it is tight. That is why breast feeding is so painful but also it can cause tongue tie later in life.  We will see what the ENT says on Friday.
