Happy thoughts :-)

Wow! Time for an update, sorry it's been so long. Not much has happened tho, lol. Little B is still growing like a weed, faster and faster. He weighs about 13lbs now, and is 21inches long still. He has more and more alert times during the day, and loves to smile and "talk". We will be riding down the road and he will just be cooing and laughing in the back seat, happy as can be with himself. He is such a delight to our hearts!

His reflux is doing MUCH better. He still spits up, but it seems to be decreasing every day. His nightly screaming fits have all but disappeared as well, which is a huge answer to prayer. We have noticed that if we let him cry to hard before he eats (while we are making the bottle) it seems to activate his reflux, and then he cannot eat. We are trying to not let him get upset...which is kinda hard to do because he wakes up CRANKY and wants to eat immediately lol.

Last night he came THISCLOSE to sleeping through the night! And he slept in his bassinet the whole time, for the first time. Of course Joelle was up constantly checking on him, but he did good. We were so proud of him! Hopefully this means he will now sleep in his bassinet and then crib instead of with us. Mommy and Daddy slept a whole lot better last night too! (But don't tell Little B that or he will regress lol).

Joelle had a HORRIBLE spell with her migraines 2weeks ago. She spent 4 days completely drugged, while her mom watched the baby. She ended up in the ER and still got no relief. Her neurologist put her on another daily med, and gave her a stronger pain pill. Used sparingly, the pain pill seemed to break the cycle of the migraine, finally. And then the daily med (verapamil) seems to be holding a new horrible migraine at bay. Please just keep praying that these meds work and she finally gets some relief from the migraines.

Mother's day was a happy day! We went out to eat with her family, and then went out for a little shopping. Little B sleeping so well at night definitely helped Mommy out alot!

We cannot believe how blessed we are with our son, and we hope and pray daily that we would become more and more like Christ, and be a living Word to him, that he might know Christ through our examples.
