Just Some Picture's

Specialist/ Upper GI

WARNING...this might be a boring post. I wanted to record our experience since I use my blog as a scrapbook.

Since Parker was about a month and a half he has had problems with his stomach/ gas. He was already having reflux problems. He would scream while nursing and scream after nursing. It seems that he cried and screamed all the time. Our pediatrician referred us to a specialist. We made it to the appointment only to find out his was COLIC...ugh!!!! She changed Parker's reflux medication to something stronger (in which we later found out that the medication made his stomach issues worse). She also suggested that he have an upper GI conducted...well, that was a nightmare!!! The nurse called me to schedule it and I was told Parker have the procedure done in Prattville...I thought that would be awesome because we had to be there at 7am. We were told Parker couldn't eat 2 hours before the procedure. Well the day before the procedure, Baptist Hospital called me at 3:30pm to get our information so we wouldn't have to wait too long in the morning. I wanted to make sure it was scheduled in Prattville but the lady told me...NO, it was scheduled in Montgomery for 7 am. I thought great, that means I have to leave 30 minutes earlier than planned. She told me I could call the specialist office and get the locating changed...well the specialist office closed at 2:30pm...an hour before the lady had called to get my information. So to Montgomery we will go. We arrived early the next morning...like 6:45am. I signed us in and we waited, and waited, and waited. Did I mentioned that we waited? I went to ask what was going on...they said the doctor's office had not faxed the orders for the procedure. FINALLY, at like 8am we got called back....now remember Parker had not had anything to eat since 5am. However, he did wonderful! The procedure only took about 15 minutes and he only cried once. The doctor said he only has reflux...PRAISE THE LORD it was nothing more!!!!

3 months old

Dear Parker,

You are now 3 months old...even though there is not 30 days in the month of February we say you turned 3 months on the last day of the month. You are smiling more and more...it still melts my heart!!! You are wearing size 2 diapers and wearing 6 months clothes. You are eating every 3 hours now. You are struggling to nurse well due to stomach issues aka colic (we took you to a specialist and she think you are just colic and nothing serious is wrong...PRAISE THE LORD!!). You are still sleeping pretty well most nights! You are becoming more alert and love looking at things around you. You make tummy time hard because you HATE IT! you cry every time I put you on your stomach. You are growing and gaining weight well! We are praying and trusting that God is going to heal you and your colic will go away after you turn 4 months old. You continue to bring joy to our home. We can't wait until you can play and interact with your older brother. We pray that you and Evan will be the best buddies! You are such a blessing!

Love you,

Momma and Dada

Poor Baby

Poor Evan. Last Monday night started running a low grade fever. He already had a runny nose and a cough. Well, we just thought he had a really bad cold. We waited three days to take him to the doctor because that what they want you to do. He went to the doc last Thursday and was told he had the flu. It was then too late to do anything. He has now almost recovered and is feeling much better. It was so sad (the sad that hurts a mommies heart) to see him so sick. This is one of those things I would rather him not have ever again.

So, Evan get better and Parker now has a cold we are battling with.

I am more that ready for the warmer weather and sickness to GO AWAY!!!!!!

Hoping to be all better soon!

Be Mine

Happy Valentines! We had a good start to our valentines...but later came Evan's sickness (more on that later).

Evan loves his brother!

Parker thinks he is number 1 with the ladies.

and Evan thinks he is a ladies man.

Huh? We are raising two kids that are already liking the ladies. Aren't they too young? HaHa! Don't you like their Valentine's shirt's?

On another note Jason and I got to go on a dinner date to Logan's for Valentines! It was a nice change to be able to sit and talk to my husband without kids.

He brought me these:

and I gave him this:
