Growing.....

 Our little Owen is getting so big so fast.  I know he still looks super little in these pictures, but he is gaining weight quickly.

Birth weight = 7 lbs 14 oz.
Leaving the hospital = 7 lbs. 4 oz.
2 days later = 7 lbs. 8 oz.
2 week appointment = 8 lbs. 8 oz.
1 week shy of 2 months = 11 lbs. 12 oz.

He's a good baby but is having issues with reflux.  We went last week to the doctor and he is now on medicine for it.  I haven't notice a huge improvement but the doctor said it could take a week or so to see improvements.  

He definitely has a sleep schedule now.  He goes to sleep in the evening around 8:30 and usually sleeps 4-5 hours.  After that he wakes up every 2-3 and is usually up for good around 6:00 a.m.  As long as I go to bed with him at 8:30 I usually feel pretty good and rested so I can't complain.  He is definitely doing better in that area than his sister did at his age.

Here are some picture of my cutie pie.  These were taken when he was 4 weeks old so I'm a bit behind.

Liam had a big problem with reflux and not gaining weight because of it. He was on prilosec until it didn't work anymore.When they finally sent us to a gastroenterologist things got way better. The DR. suggested at 4 months adding the rice cereal to his bottle which made it so thick we had to use an infafeeder but really helped him he the food down. Good luck! He is a cutie!

Thanks for the information Kate. I feel so sorry for him because he seems so uncomfortable. The good thing is that he is gaining weight so chances are it's not a serious problem.........just more of a comfort issue. Hopefully it gets better soon. I hope you're feeling well in your pregnancy!
