Kane is starting to notice the animals

Kane Smiling - Big boy now weighs 11 lbs 11 ozs!

Kane

Well we were back at the doctor this morning. The last two days were horrible. He screamed all day long and didn't sleep at night. We are going more aggressive on the medication and going to start feeding him cereal. He seems much happier today lets hope this is actually working and not just one of those days that give us hope. I hate it when we get hope and then the next couple days are horrible. I just hope this stuff works. It is getting really frustrating. Wish us luck. He has started smiling at us alot now. So that is really fun.

Kane getting down

Kane Sick - Not colic

Last three days were hell. Kane was the worst he has ever been. He even started throwing up. When I would finally get him to sleep he would wiggle around and whimper. Sometimes he would scream and then go back to sleep. Yesterday morning I finally reached my breaking point. I had a huge breakdown and called the doctor and said he has to do something for the poor little guy. He said bring him in right away. So I did and after looking him over and listening to the symptoms he thought there was an issue with his stomach. So he took us over to another building with the gastro specialist. We did an ultrasound and it looks like his stomach valves are not working right. So when things are suppose to be going out the bottom of his stomach they are coming up the top. Alot of time it requires surgery. But we are going to try medication for a week and see if that will help the muscles. I just knew this wasn't colic. I am just mad it took so long to figure it out. It was a long day yesterday. I was at the doctor and hospital for almost 6 hours. But at least we can get him some relief. He was really good last night so I don't know if he was just having a good night or if the medication already helped. He is really happy this morning so far. Except for when I gave him a bath. He hates being naked. Poor guy had to get naked 4 times yesterday. He was not a happy kid. We go back on Tuesday to run another ultrasound and see how things look. Lets hope the medication helps.

Kane Update

I think we may be making progress. Kane has been pretty happy the last couple days. He is sleeping much better at night and doesn't have to be carried all the time. He finally started drinking his bottles without gulping them so fast he spits it up. The last two days he didn't even need a bib. Before he acted like he was starving and would go nuts drinking them and lose most of it. It feels like we are settling in finally. It is a nice feeling.

Izzy Busted!

I guess it took all of her energy to pull down his toys. She is lucky she is cute or she would be dead by now.

Well I got him to sleep in his crib finally last night. It took over an hour to get him to stay there but I did it. I guess carrying him around all the time is helping me lose weight. I am down almost 40 lbs already. I was able to fit into my before pregnancy jeans on Sunday. That was exciting. Kane has been at his worst the last two days. He really broke me down yesterday. The previous night I had a wonderful 3am feeding. He threw up down my shirt. And I am talking a bunch. Then I finally get changed and get him changed and go to put on his new diaper and when I lifted up his legs he shoots poo everywhere. So we got to change again. Ah the joys of parenthood. I was so happy when Chris got home from work and held him for a little bit last night. It will be nice when Chris gets his normal schedule back. He has worked the last 11 days. He is gone at 5am and doesn't get home until almost 8pm. This morning Kane has been fun. I need to get some video of him. He is holding his head up and looking around alot now.

My little man has broken me down. I have started letting him sleep with me in the spare bedroom at night. He got stubbornness from Chris and I and he can hold out alot longer then I can at 3 in the morning. At this point I just want some sleep. I like to watch him wake up in the morning. It takes him forever. He stretches and makes the funniest faces. Chris has had to work the last 10 days and still counting. They are in an outage at work and he has to work until they come back up. So I am on my own at night. I have probably created a monster because I hold him all the time but if it keeps him from crying it is worth it. He loves to sleep on my chest. I just had him there for a little over and hour but started sweating so finally put him to bed. I just love to stare at him. He is the cutest little thing ever. And he curls his tongue up when he sleeps. It cracks me up. He is really starting to watch things and listen to you talk. We played with the rattle yesterday and today we got out a toy that played songs and he watched that. I can't believe he is almost a month old already.

Everyone want's each others beds. Kids!

Izzy

Izzy cat is crazy. She has such personality. She is a little thief. Last night she took off with a dvd sleeve that was sitting on the coffee table. Then she came out of Kane's room dragging a bear that is bigger then her. She won't leave it alone. When mom and Nikki were here Izzy stole Nikki's money off the bed and got into mom's makeup. The other day she took my glasses of the bathroom counter and I found them in the kitchen. She has stolen Kane's pacifier more then once. She has grown alot but is still alot smaller then Macamoe. They are playmates now. Macamoe acts like a kitten around her. I swear it is like having two kids at night. That is when Izzy seems to come to life. She is very entertaining though. And she likes to cuddle at times. Unlike Macamoe. Izzy could care less about Kane. But when he is screaming Macamoe gets upset. She came out the other day and I was holding him in the recliner. She gently reached up and put her paw on his head and then walked away. Then last night she came over and licked the top of his head and went away. It is crazy to watch.

Kane

Kane is talking away today. He is in a really good mood. The last couple days he has started sitting in his swing. He hated it before. He is really following things with his eyes now. I noticed it yesterday when we went for our walk that he looked at a toy hanging from his stroller handle. It is starting to get to the fun stuff of watching him learn and change. We started reading on Monday. I am hoping I can help him be smarter then I was.

Kane Update

Had our two week checkup today. He has grown and inch and is now 9 lbs 14 ozs. He is healthy other then the colic. The Dr said since he has it so bad we are going to try Zantac and see if that helps. He also gave me another formula. He said we are going to have to try and play the formula game to help him out a bit. He thinks that even though he is not throwing up alot he has a bit of acid reflux.

Kane and Daddy in Florida Gear

Kane

Kane slept most of the night last night and has been an angel today. I am hoping he is going to give us a 5 day break like he did last week. It is just so weird to me that he can go from being so unhappy to being the happiest most alert baby around. Today is a big football game for Florida. They are playing Georgia and both teams are ranked in the top 10. So daddy and Kane have on their Florida gear. It is beautiful weather down here. We just got back from a walk. It is almost 80 degree's and sunny. Kane loves his stroller. He is just a happy little boy today. I was reading to him today and it almost feels like pretty soon he will be responding a little. He looks right at you with those big blue eyes when you talk to him. I just love it when he is alert.
