Christmas in White Castle

We are in Louisiana for Christmas and Sunday we went to my aunt's house for Christmas with my mom's family. We had a great time visiting everyone and Charlie enjoyed meeting the family for the first time. Here is a picture of my immediate family with my grandparents.

Maternity pictures

I finally got the rest of the maternity pictures I took back in September. I think they came out really good and I'm very pleased. If you care to look, feel free.

And the diagnosis is...

Reflux, just as we suspected. Not a shocker since most babies have it. We're going to start him on some Prevacid and see how that works. Anyway, he did great during the procedure and sucked down the contrast with no problems at all. Only got fussy during the very end.

Now onto the fun part. Pictures!






And his 2 month picture. (I will start a link on the right side of the page just like my baby bump so you can see how he grows.)

2 months old

Charlie is 2 months old today! I can't believe it. This time has just flown by. We had his two month checkup today, which included his shots. :( He did really well, and so far, no ill side effects. He now weighs 11 pounds 12 ounces (50%) and is 22.5 inches long (25%). So he is growing great! We have been thinking that he has reflux and that is getting slightly worse. We talked to the pedi about it and she wants us to do an upper GI to see if and how bad the reflux is. It's an outpatient procedure and I'm waiting on a phone call to let me know when that will happen. Should be sometime this week. If he does have reflux, he will be on some medicine to help it. So we'll see.

In other developments, Charlie has started to smile more and we've gotten some great pictures. Here are a few:







Isn't he cute!
