8 Weeks Old

Day 1

Day 56

Last week was a crazy long week. Henry developed acid reflux which lead to a few episodes of him puking up his formula, gagging on it, which lead to him holding his breath and then his heart rate dropping. They started him on Zantax and added rice cereal to his formula in order to thicken it. Both seem to be helping because the episodes got progressively better as the week went on but still happened. It happened to Jamie and I both while we were holding him, he would start gagging and turn purple and then ashy...so scary. Over the weekend they decided to have a GI specialist come take a look at him today and see if there are any actual problems.

I turned 35 last week! We went out saturday night and my husband made plans for our friends to meet us out. I was surprised and so happy! We had a great time and I am so thankful to have such awesome family and friends. We both feel bad though, our brains are totally fried and there are people we would have loved to have seen but totally forgot to get in touch :(



CONGRATULATIONS to Mike & Kim Machiski on the birth of their twin daughters Emma & Maddy 11/14/09. And to Jeanna & John Donelan on the birth of their daughter Addison 11/15/09. Henry now has LOTS of girls to choose from ;)

Happy Birthday!!! And Henry looks great! The gagging/apnea when eating is terrifying. Even home, Bobby has had a spell or two. It's kind of strange when you are used to it. But they DO grow out of it.
