Expect the Unexpected

So I had a huge post all typed out about the events of the last few weeks but I think I'm going to keep those feelings to myself and put it in my written journal. But in a nutshell this is what has happened:

*Elijah was very fussy and sleepy for a whole week.
*Found out he's not putting on weight as well as he should.
*Found out I haven't been making enough milk for him due to a bunch of compounding factors.
*I cry and curse damn formula everytime I have to make it.
*I've been pumping like a crazy woman and taking a nasty herbal supplement that makes me and Eli smell like rotten maple syrup. Hope this increases my milk supply.
*The fussiness continues.
*We go to the doctor. Elijah has acid reflux. He is deemed a scrawny screamer.
*Now he's on meds and sleeping like a baby :)
*AND now he has a cold due to the congestion caused by the acid reflux.
*Poor baby. Saddest thing ever.
*Wonderful hubby lets me take off and go see a girly movie all by myself. Bliss.
*Wonderful hubby takes over night shifts on weekends so I can sleep. Again, bliss.

*This is what we do all day- Feed breastmilk in bottle, if still hungry feed formula in bottle, burp after each ounce, change, play, swaddle, put down for nap, pump, try to get something done, repeat.

*Needless to say we have been very tired and our house looks like a bomb went off.

Elijah is getting better about getting his diaper changed, he only screams a little bit now:)
He always has to have something in his mouth, a pacifier, his hand etc.
He smiled at me today.
His hair is out of control.
He's finally filling out his newborn clothes.

5 Years later and we still got the heat!

Happy Anniversary to us! 5 years and going strong. I love you Matt and glad you are mine forever!
