6 weeks old


Time is flying by. I return to work Monday the 20th. Both kids went to the dr yesterday about their reflux. Their medicine was changed from Axid(3 times a day, treats acid) to Prevacid(1 time a day, prevents acid). We are in the transitioning time between medicine and it is pretty tough. Both have been pretty fussy. I can't blame them I would be too if I was dealing with the acid.

Bekah weighed in at 7lb 12oz and Billy at 9lb 6oz. Billy has moved up to the size one diapers and Bekah will follow shortly. Both are starting to transition into 0-3month clothes. The newborn pants still fit our skinny little babies though. To give you an idea, we go through about 20 diapers a day. That means we have used about 920 diapers so far if my math is correct. Yikes!

Since both babies have reflux, we have to keep them upright after feedings. We have been using their chairs to do this. They have also been sleeping in them because it keeps them upright while sleeping. As soon as the medicine really kicks in, we will be working on getting the kids back into their cribs. Please pray that this is a smooth transition.

They are getting so big!! I hope they get their tummies settled soon. Nothing is worse than reflux, have had it and not fun. And they are so little. Maybe this med will help soon. I sure hope so. Thanks for the picture - they are precious. I look everyday. Love Dot

So glad you are on the prevacid. It was our savior drug with Jack. Unfortunately, it was controversial for kiddos at the time so he was 18 months old by the time we went to the tummy dr. and they prescribed it for him. By then we had weight and speech and sleep and other issues. So glad your dr. is willing to pull out the big guns now, hopefully you won't have to go through all that.
