Colicky Baby

Well, we decided to schedule an appointment with Jackson's pediatrician last week. He had been very fussy after feedings and spitting up a lot. We didn't know if it could be reflux, colic or something else. He would cry a lot and nothing seemed to help him calm down. The doctor checked him out and said he was fine that it was just colic. Colice peaks at about 6 weeks of age so lucky for us it's almost over. Literally the following day he was fine!!!! No more crying and hardly any spit up! Dr. Nolte did look at his "supposed" hernia again and is sending him for an ultrasound this Tuesday. We should find out the results either late Tuesday or Wednesday. If it is indeed a hernia surgery will have to be scheduled but they informed us this is a simple procedure that would only be outpatient. Hopefully it is nothing so please keep him in your prayers. On a lighter note he is gaining like a champ! He weighed almost 9 pounds at the doctor's office! They were amazed by how much he is gaining so quickly! They asked if I had 'magic' breastmilk! :-)

Other than that we're doing good. We took him out again this past weekend and he did so great. Sleeping the whole time!

Well, we'll keep everyone informed of his ultrasound.

Have a great Monday!
