Well we weren't planning to go to the doctor until Monday but after 2 very "off" days, I thought Jack needed to go today to make sure everything was ok. For the past 2 days every time I would feed him, he would scream and not finish his bottle (which isn't like him) then for the next 30-45 minutes he would cry and nothing would help him to stop. He also wasn't taking his normal 2-3 hour naps. So I called and talked to the nurse for a long time today and we agreed to move our appointment up to this afternoon. Luckily Kevin was able to take a longer lunch break and come with us!!!!
After talking to the doctor we agreed to try medicine for acid reflux because this was the only thing she could figure it could be. So we are starting on Zantac, 2 times a day. We are to try this for the next month and then we will go back at the end of June to reevaluate!
Now for the exciting part: his stats. Turns out our newborn is not a newborn any more. He is turning into a "big boy." He now weighs, 10lbs, 2 oz. He is 22 1/2 inches long! Wow. I can't believe he has gained 3 lbs. No wonder he is getting so heavy!!! She thought that everything else looked good. Unfortunately, he had to get a shot. His cry was like a delayed reaction but it didn't last long!
We also talked to her about switching to formula and how we go about doing that. She gave us good advice and now we have to decide when we are going to do it!
So that was our eventful afternoon. After a bottle when we got home, he is asleep in the swing, (hopefully for awhile because he has been awake since 9 am !!!)
