Grumpy boy

Daddy thinks he's the best burper. He does do a pretty good job.



Collin has had a bad time of it lately. He had to go back on formula not long after coming home and had been having tummy problems every since. He has been a very grumpy boy. Especially at night. He does ok during the day but changes into an unhappy camper every night about dinner time. All you can do is hold him and not get any sleep. We have all been taking turns helping poor Lezlie but she has endured the worst of it. After much worry and discusion we decided we needed to change formulas and try to find something that agreed with him better. Then Galen called the doctor who agreed with the formula change and suggested they add a touch of dark Karo syrup to his bottle twice a day. That was day before yesterday and he is already improved greatly! He slept from 1am to 4 and then again until about 8:30 this morning. Everything is going in and out more smoothly which makes for a much happier, sleeps better, very happy Mommy, Collin.

He has been back to the doctor once. He weighed in at 7lbs and was 21 inches long. We don't know how much he lost in the hospital so we don't know how much he has gained back but he has grown another inch and a half! So he is still long and skinny. Hopefull this new formula will help with that and he can catch up a little.

Suprise!




He's here. Arrived Saturday Aug 4th at 4:19pm. 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He came a month early.Guess Collin was ready even thought we weren't. He is doing great. Came home yesterday. He had to stay an extra day because he was having a little trouble eating and breathing at the same time. They got an especially good nurse the other day who was determined that he would do better at the breast than with the bottle the nursery had been trying to use. She was right and he is nursing like a champ. Both He and Mom are happy now.
