yesterday was our sweet boy's two month appointment, and i really think he's doing much better. we are now on the path to fighting his reflux. our doc thinks it's the reason h is so fussy and cries like he's in pain. she also thinks it's why he is so big - he has been eating to try to quell the pain. that made me feel pretty horrible - to think my baby has been hurting all this time! but we are giving him prilosec now, so hopefully this really helps. it's so ironic that i hate giving my kids any medication and h now gets three different things a day...ugh! i also have always hated the reflux diagnosis - it feels like a cop-out. but, if it offers him some relief, i'll take it. and, i'll take the cute chub, too, even if it's just a side effect of the reflux.
anyway, other than that, we are plugging along, trying to develop some semblance of a routine before i have to go to work. it's tough - the different moods and levels of exhaustion impact each day. but hollis's good periods are getting longer each day. he is getting super smiley. he's sleeping a teeny bit better/longer, but still nothing more than about 4 hours or so, on occasion. we'll get there.
two month stats:
height: 23" - 60%
weight: 14 lbs - 90%
head: 40.5 cm - 60%
