I know this blog has been up and down, then up and down again. It's because my life has been up and down, then up and down again.
See this cute little man here (big sister is holding his hand)? He's my 3 month old son (almost 4 months) and I do think he's the cutest thing ever, but I'm bias. Unfortunately, he didn't come with instructions and while I'm a 3rd time mom, he's been my biggest challenge.
He was born with some digestive issues which cause him to scream in pain sometimes for days. Just when I think things are going really well, we seem to start all over again.
The doctors and I have been going through trial and error to figure out exactly what's bothering his little tummy and so far, they've discovered high-grade reflux. On top of that, we're now guessing he has a pretty severe allergy to cow's milk protein, as well as soy. Stack that with the worry of delayed gastric emptying and you have a little boy who is having some pretty bad days with lots of tummy troubles. We're making some changes now and are starting to see some pretty big smiles, so we're hoping we're finally on the right track and he'll be a cheery newborn soon!
The point is, I wanted you to know that each time I suddenly disappear, it's not because I have forgotten all of my wonderful readers. It's because I'm taking some time to cuddle my son who needs his mommy and usually only I can console him, though my husband and oldest daughter do try very hard to help.
So many of you who know me have sent me prayers and I thank you so much for that, plus thank you all for being so understanding! It's always hard so watch your newborn suffer, especially, when everything you do just doesn't seem to comfort him.
