Baby 411

So this book Baby 411 that my dear friend Misty got me is awesome, anytime i have a question i just open up this book and it has ALL the answers and more in it. Its my baby bible. I have it sitting on my nightstand right now, easy access! Well anyways, the last 5days or so Dreycin has been really cranky, winey and has also been throwing up after he eats. It got to the point on sunday night that he didnt sleep at all. Along with baby 411 which I went to looking for answers, i also have my mom who again is a NICU nurse and takes care of premie babies. One common theme with premie babies is acid reflux. Dreycin was definitely showing signs of a baby with reflux. He really looked like he was in pain, so yesterday we went to the doctor and was given a RX for liquid zantac 2x per day. He weighed in at 8lbs 12oz, so obviously is still gaining weight with the throwups here and there. The doctor even said that if he kept gaining weight he would have to go on baby watchers, he was just kidding he said that breastfed babies always tend to gain more weight. So we have been on zantac 2days, last night was a really good night. Everyone got sleep and there was no upset baby! This afternoon he was a little irritable, and did throw up a little bit after his noon feeding but its definitely better than a couple of days ago. He is also going about 3.5-4hrs for every feeding. Derek got home tonight and Dreycin was still not feeling good, and I really needed a shower so I got the sleepy wrap out and now as I type (fresh and clean) daddy and dreycin are sitting in the rocking chair knocked out....ahh peace and quiet! Derek hates to hear Dreycin cry and is still working on figuring out how to hold him, console him so I thought that the wrap would be perfect so that Derek wouldnt even have to use his hands and Dreycin would feel very close/comforted. It worked...

My mom and dad went back to Texas this morning but my mom will be back on saturday. Sad to see them go, but it will be nice to have our house to just us for 1 night. Derek's mom is coming to stay with us for thanksgiving, hopefully it will be nice and quiet! My parents left food ready, house cleaned, laundry done so that I wouldnt have to do anything, i LOVE my parents so much!
