Few pics from lately...

Asher is growing so fast and I feel so guilty that I haven't taken very many pictures of him and NONE in the studio yet. By this time in Mantha's life we had several albums filled and lots in the studio...seriously. He is sleeping pretty good (only wakes up once in the middle of the night and then early in the morning.) We are still trying to figure him out though. He cries most of the time that he's awake. He used to have REALLY bad, loud, explosive, painful gas before every feeding. Working with his Dr and a lactation consultant we have him on a few meds and me completely off dairy products and as of a few days ago the toots have slowed way down. (From like 30/feeding to like 5/feeding!) But, he is continuing to cry, spit, and vomit in between feedings which they now think is reflux, so we are starting him on prescription previcid (he has been on Maalox for a week or so and that isn't working). This may take a couple of weeks to work, but we are excited to see if it does. All I want right now is a happy baby.

So, life with 2 kids is pretty hectic for me. I am adjusting, but realizing life will never be the same. Kinda like the feeling I got when we had Mantha...only worse. I am now wondering why I ever thought one kid was hard. :) Those of you who have 3 or more kids are probably thinking that I'm crazy.

kimby! he is such a doll....sorry so fussy! Emri was on Maalox too...didn't work, now on zantac 3x/day and it seems to do a little better. Jaimilyn's little sawyer is on a new rx called AXID...all of her kids have had bad reflux and she said this rx is by far the best?? Ask your doc. um, i hear ya about 1 kid being hard and i wonder all the time how people have 2+!! Hang in there!

Kimby, all moms think one child was hard until they have #2. Then they think the same about two children until they have #3. After that, it's all the same hard so go for it!

P.S. It was so good to see your darling kids in person.
