. 1 month dr visit .

one month doesn't typically call for a doctors visit, but my little buddy has been having some reflux issues and now was the time to get him in.  he doesn't spit up near what the girls did.  his is "silent reflux", where it stays in the esophagus causing pain and irritation.  he arches his back.  coughs.  has nasty hiccups.  and he's been a pretty restless sleeper lately. 

thankfully, our pediatrician is familiar with the reflux that both of the girls had, so he went straight to the point.  "zantac or prevacid?"  were his first words.  prevacid it is for us.  we now have a prescription and are praying it works soon.  i have to take him back in if it doesn't help the reflux in the next 2 weeks.

other big news from the doctors office ... little buddy weighs a whopping 8 lbs 5 oz. 
i. was. shocked.  how can he have gained a whole 2 pounds since birth?!  the doc said he has now moved from the 2nd percentile to the 10th.  :)  he's still my little buddy, just growing like a weed.

and what would a post be without a picture ...
