Relief!

It seems the new dose of Prevacid is finally kicking in...we have been supplementing with Maalox as per our gastroenterologist, and today is the first day he has really been peaceful.

Peaceful, but still NOT a fan of the cereal. Yesterday, I got some ready for him for another go round, and he gave me a LOOK. Then I gave him a spoonful anyway, and he gave me the dirtiest look I've ever seen from a not quite 6 month old baby. My best friend was over and she said "Wow. I've seen babies spit out food or refuse to eat it, but I have NEVER seen a baby look so offended by it!"

But cereal, really...meh. It's not interesting, and it doesn't taste good (as evidenced by Ava and Jace's taste test). We might move on to something new if his night waking continues. We'll see. We're keeping a very close eye on his weight and tomorrow is going to be an all pumping day for me, so we can try to get a handle on how much Seth is consuming in a day. I know the baby is much more efficient than the pump, but his doc wants to proof that he is getting a sufficient amount of food, so we'll try and give it to her. Formula is not in his future if I can help it. The plus is he is wetting plenty of diapers, so he isn't dehydrated.

So things are looking up here as we enter into yet another insane week of important Seth stuff.
1.) The bracelets should be arriving!
2.) We are waiting for notification of when he will be getting the surgery for the ear tubes.
3.) Friday he has a sedated ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) Test and possibly an MRI.
4.) We find out where he is at developmentally after we have been working hard on his motor skills.

So it will be busy and I will be stressed but never fear! I will keep you updated! I am not committing to Not Me Monday at this point in time, although I could change my mind.

I am heading out for a girls night this evening...pizza and Bride Wars! Yay!
