It's a Good Morning!


It's a good morning!
Wake up to a brand new day
This morning,
I'm stepping, stepping on my way
Good morning,
You give me strength,
You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope that's rising in me.
It's a good morning

Love morning time with the boys! They both wake up in such good moods. It's just a fun relaxing time. We usually don't have anything planned in the morning so we can just take our time and be lazy :) As a matter of fact, I'm sitting and sipping coffee right now while Grayson is hanging out in his bouncy seat and Wyatt's watching some cartoons. (Can you tell I'm loving this stay at home Mom stuff!!) Grayson tends to be the happiest in the mornings- we get lots of smiles and coos and it's just too cute! Love these boys!
P.S.- We did finally hear back from Graysons Dr. and his upper GI did confirm that he has reflux. The doctor is hoping that in 3-6 months we'll be able to take him off of the prilosec. He does seem to be doing much better and at his follow up apt. this week he weighed 12 lbs! He's turning into our little chunky monkey :) And bless our doctor, she found us a new pharmacy that can do the prilosec cheaper- it will save us $63 a month!

Grayson is 2 months old

Happy 2 months to Mr. Grayson! At his 2 month checkup, he weighed 10lbs 17 ozs! For such a small start, he sure has made up for it :) He is growing and changing so much, but still looks so much like Wyatt did when he was at this stage. He is smiling and laughing and it is just too cute!
Unfortunately, poor guy has been having some eating/tummy troubles. Our pediatrician (and us) are fairly certain that it is reflux, but last Friday he had an upper GI done so that we can know for sure. We hope to know the results in the next day or two. We started formula with rice cereal a couple of weeks ago. We've done a slow transition from breast milk to formula to hopefully make it easier on his tummy. He is still getting a couple of bottles of breast milk a day. We also tried Zantac, but did not see any results. In fact, he seemed fussier right after having it. Now, we are trying prilosec. It does seem to be helping (it should for what we're having to pay for it!!! Wow!) Hopefully, this is something that he will outgrow soon.
