3 Weeks Old

Well today marks 3 weeks old for Kyle:) We have been trying to figure out Kyle's tummy issues over the past week and it has not been easy! We have had to switch to a lactose free formula, and put him on mylicon. He has had constipation, gas, and just pain. I feel so bad for him and can't do anything, but just wait it out at this point. We did go to the doctors today to make sure that he is still gaining weight. He was 8 pounds 4 ounces. He has gained 8 ounces in 5 days. The norm is 1 ounce a day, but considering he was not gaining as quickly before because of the wrong formula, he is trying to catch up. He is in the 25% range for weight so he is not over weight. He is starting to go longer between feedings so that is nice as well. We were told to stay on the new formula till his 2 month check up on the 16th of June unless other things pop up. We are praying that things just continue to improve for him!

Sunday was my first Mother's Day. David worked which was really good money, but we missed him. My dad was able to come over and spend the day with us which was nice.

Hopefully this Friday Kelly will be coming over to hang out and see Kyle for the first time since the hospital, and on Sunday April is supposed to be coming over to spend time with us for the first time since the hospital as well! I can't wait for both of them to see our little man.

April and Lynn have been very helpful in reassuring us on all of Kyle's tummy troubles. Thank you both so much, without you we might have been completely lost!

David gets to be home with us till 5 pm on Thursday, so that is nice! Even though the weather stinks, it is good to have family time. My family is the best...I love all three of my boys!
