Rough Nights

So for the past couple of weeks Ian has had a bit of a hard time digesting his milk. He apparently suffers from reflux which is not a big deal, but does cause him pain and discomfort and it causes me a whole lot of stress and sleepless nights. He will cry uncontrollably for a while and fall asleep for a while and it just goes around in a circle. On top of the fact that his gagging really freaks me out. This normally happens at night. He went to the doctor on Friday and we're just going to keep an eye on it and see how bad it really is. We don't want to put him under any unnecessary medicine. However, looking at the bright side of things, he has not lost his appetite and is now weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. That's probably around what he would have weighed if he had been born when he was supposed to. He is very alert now and smiles when we talk to him. He moves around a lot and turns from side to side. He keeps his head up by himself pretty well. It's still a little wobbly, but he's getting there. He survived his first Super Bowl Party and his first trip to Dolphin Mall. Whew! I know this whole reflux thing will get better and I really look forward to that, but for now I'm just taking it one day at a time and when I find myself getting too overwhelmed with his consistent crying, Chris is there to rescue me and I really thank God for that.
