Busy Week!

After the last post, I began to notice that Michael was spitting up more than usual. I thought it was from his vaccinations at his 2 month check up, but as the days progressed I got more concerned about it. After doing some internet research (yes, I am not a Dr but I play one at home!!) I started to feel that he may have a bit of reflux. He had many of the symptoms. So I called the (real) Dr and scheduled an appointment for the following day - November 13.

Unfortunately the little man does have a mild form of reflux. Fortunately we were able to get a prescription for an antacid that should prevent any long term damage to his esophagus, and the Dr suggested holding Michael upright for 30 minutes after each feeding to help it all settle. We have been doing those things and he seems to be doing better now. Michael also got his weight checked again at that appointment and I am proud to say he weighed 8#15oz! He is a little piglet! The Dr was very pleased with that - he had gained 10oz in 7 days!

Later that day Sheniah came home from school with her 1st quarter progress report - she is a genius! She is in advanced math and english, as well as regular science, social studies, PE and band - she had 5 A's and 1B! She really is so smart and I am so proud of her for transitioning so smoothly to the added pressure and responsibility of Middle School.











In order to celebrate her wonderful grades we went to our favorite Thai restaurant (Sheniah's choice) and had some sushi (I hadn't had my favorite Tuna roll since becoming prego! It was wonderful!). Here we are at Wasabi.









The next day Michael was hanging out on the couch on his Boppy pillow. He's so cute!














Every year, the Concord Christmas parade lines up outside our house. It is nice because we are able to see the parade without having to go anywhere - that was especially nice this year with Michael, who is still trying to establish his nap routine during the day. I was able to take him outside a couple of times to see the parade and then bring him back in when he had gotten enough stimulation.

















Here are Michael and Sheniah enjoying the parade...well, Sheniah is enjoying the parade anyway! Michael had decided he had had enough!
