Hello! I had hoped that I'd get to post a new entry sooner than this but we've had a busy time trying to make Brendan comfortable. The poor little guy has acid reflux and has just been suffering when he's awake. Julia had it as a baby as well but Brendan seems to have it worse. He just cries (screams) and squirms when he's awake and is just miserable.
After a week on the Zantac we were supposed to see results, but didn't. We saw the doctor again yesterday and she decided to switch him to Prevacid. I hope I'm not too optimistic but I think we're already seeing results. He seems to be more comfortable and goes back to sleep easier after meals which just wasn't happening before. Of course this means I'm off dairy which is not fun but if it makes things better for him I'll stick with it.
Hopefully once he's comfortable I/we will be able to get some sleep. He's been sleeping well during the day but a few nights ago was allowing me a half hour of sleep at a time. Needless to say I was ready to get in the car and drive away the next morning. Not to be too dramatic :-), but I could only take lack of sleep like that for so long. Last night was better though.
Other highlights in Brendan's life include "real" baths which he seems to like and watching his big sister do anything and everything. Julia loves to talk to "baby..." hold him, show him the food she's eating, show us his nose, mouth, etc.
Here are a few recent photos of Julia and Brendan.
