I'm almost 6 weeks old!

Whoa! We haven't blogged in a longtime!  James is now over month old...5.5 weeks to be exact.  A lot has happened since the last post.  Let's see...
 
A few weeks back James started on formula when he just simply could not be satiated. But, weird things began to happen.  After a few visits to the doctor, it was discovered that he has a Milk & Soy Protein Intolerance AND baby reflux.  Poor kid, I know!  However, poor mommy too... He would cry and cry and nothing would make him feel better.  Just this week, we found out that we had to go on a formula that only a doctor's prescription can get for us...It's called Neocate.  Its an amino acid based formula. That way, no milk proteins will hurt James' poor little tummy.  We will wait and see how this one works. Let's hope for all of our sake that we are successful!

First week down...

Our first week with little James has come and gone! It has been quite an adjustment, but he is so precious that it makes it all worth it. Trevor and I have been taking turns getting up during the night, so its been nice. Also, my mom has been here the whole time, which has been SOOO helpful. She seems to be able to get James to stop crying well before I can. I am in for it once she goes home!

Yes, she did!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our days are basically the same and they revolve around feeding.  We also seem to change clothes a whole bunch.  This boy wears more outfits per day than any other human being on the planet!!  We have had a few outings: to the doctor, to the grocery store, and a quick visit to the William and Mary football car wash.  He was a trooper through all our outings (thank gosh!). 

And baby makes three!

James Nathaniel has arrived!  Although a few days late, James arrived, as perfect as possible, on Saturday March 10, 2012 at 9:47pm.  My labor was a bit long and exhausting but everyone is doing well.  We arrived home from the hosptial on Monday and have been trying to relax since.  Here are a few pictures!

Due date here and gone!

Well... here I am on James' "birthday" or what was my due date- March 7th.  He's decided that  he's not quite ready and needs to cook for a bit longer.  Hopefully in the next few days there will be a baby.  I will keep you updated!
