Learning to live

Baby Jace has by far been my most difficult baby to date..........When he isn't sleeping he is screaming and holding doesn't always help..........Its hard to believe he is already 8 wks old......We had a weight appt today and he weighed 9lbs 2.5oz..........HOLY COW this boy is growing like a weed.........He is still only drinking 4 oz of formula at a time but only keeps about 3 oz down.......he has severe reflux.........You can tell by the way he grimaces when he is spitting up........he also does the chewing thing which is also a sign..........I'm really glad he is going to the dr monday........The reflux does not seem to effect him gaining weight like it did with Alyssa so I am hoping that zantac will do the trick..........

The other day I was so frustrated I was ready to cry myself..........He screams straight for 3 hrs.........Plus having the other kids home...........OH MAN..........I swaddled him, unswaddled him.......burped him, tried to feed him, gave him mylicon drops, bounced, walked, car seat, swing (absolutely dispises that thing right now) binkie, outside............Giving him to daddy..........Nothing, not one darn thing would make this kid happy........I ended up having to put him in the bassinet and let him cry it out............I left to go to the pharmacy for Alyssa and Daddy said it took him about 20 mins to finally cry it out and go to sleep.........However after that crying fit he slept 4 1/2 hrs.........

The kids are awesome with him crying all the time.........They will come running........."mommy, Jace is crying" or Austin will try to crawl in the pack n play with him and feed him........No one this kid is turning into a butterball turkey, LOL.........
