Baby Update!


Can you believe the babies are 2 months old? Wow! They got a pretty good report today from Dr. Cook. Cameron is 8 lbs., Parker is 7 1/2 lbs., and Katelyn is still little at 6 lbs. 12 oz. They have all grown steadily but Dr. Cook wants to see them bulk up a little bit more. We are still having massive amounts of spit-up combined with arching backs, drawing up of the legs, projectile vomiting, spitting the nipple out, and spit-ups 3-4 hours after feedings, so he agreed to let all 3 go in next Tuesday for a barium swallow test. We are suspecting possible reflux and delayed stomach emptying for all of them. Big sister had this also. We'll keep you posted. Parker's head is slightly asymetrical and slightly flat on the right side, so we have to try to get him turned as much as possible to avoid a helmet. Cameron may have colic, so we are continuing to keep an eye on that. I bought some Gripe Water today to try, but it probably won't help. We'll see! They are all fussy and cranky after their shots today, so we'll do Tylenol for 24 hours, and that should help. The doctor recommended not to have them in public for another week to allow the vaccinations time to get into their systems and then we can slowly take them out and have people over to visit. Also, Cameron began actually batting at the toys hanging from the activity gym just yesterday. Enjoy the picture!
