Gotta make this quick


Chase is in his exercauser, but that only entertains him for a little while until he gets bored! He is not quite strong enough to really play in it yet, so I sit him in it and watch him diligently.
Just a quick medication update on Chase.
Started out with the zantac which provided a little bit of relief, but not enough. Then switched to prilosec and bethanachol. The bethanachol made the projectile vomiting worse so we stopped that. Went over 2 weeks on the prilosec and finally had enough of that CRAP too. Switched to prevacid solutabs. Hallelujah! Something that dissolves in Chase's mouth and didn't have to be compounded with that nasty sodium bicarb!It's been about a week though, and no improvement yet. I've read it can take up to 3 weeks for it to work, so we shall see. Found some awesome support sites for reflux moms online, and been getting all kinds of great information. So thankful to be able to be a stay at home mom and focus solely on Chase & trying to get him healthy & comfortable. I am truly blessed. It's about time to take Chase out of the exercauser he is getting antsy. That's all for now, keep your fingers crossed that the prevacid kicks in soon!

3 months old

I cant believe my baby is 3 months old already. where does the time go? please forgive my grammar, i'm typing from my phone in bed. brad is snoring next to me, daisy at my feet, lucky on his bed below and pooter passed out attached to my boob, arm draped dramatically across my chest. lol, i love my little guy, i really do. how boring my life was before he came along! he likes to sleep late, like his mama. some mornings i will just lay here, bladder bursting, and watch him. i know if i move he will wake up. when i do eventuallu get up he flops on his belly, reaching for me and makes little mousy noises. sometimes he will find his hand and that will pacify him for a minute so i can relieve my bladder, but i wory that he will accidently inhale the sheet so i rush to get back to him. he is so happy in the mornings. such a smiley baby, it warms my heart. he happily get his diaper changed and sits with me as i eat breakfast. then its time for his medicine and he just hates it. looks at me like if he could talk, he would swear at me, lol. my poor booger, i feel so bad for him that he has to be on meds this young. i'm exhausted it's time for sleep. a few nights ago i bathed chase, put lotion and jammies on him and tried to give him his medicine. he wouldn't take it so i put some milk in a bottle with it and handed him to brad. 5 seconds later he asked me if chase had a diaper on. lol. needless to say, i'm not supermom by any means. i'm one tired mama :)
