3 Months Old

Charlie is three months old today! He decided to celebrate by getting croup this week. Though it's been a tough week with very little sleep for all of us he is starting to get better. Today for the first time in days he was able to take naps swaddled in his crib. The last few days he was too congested to sleep on his back so we had to hold him upright all day and night in his glider. Though he is still hoarse and a little congested his cough is gone, he is starting to eat more and have more energy again.
We still have issues with Charlie's eating and acid reflux. The Alimentum which seemed to fix all the problems back in January has proved not to be a magic bullet. We then started him on Prevacid and have seen some progress, but things are still not quite right. Tuesday afternoon Jim and I will be taking Charlie to a pediatric gastro specialist out of Hackensack and hopefully they will have some insight for us. Until then we just deal with the erratic feedings, spitting up, crying while eating and hope he outgrows it soon!
