Life is pretty much a circus right now and yesterday I lost all control of the many balls I was trying to juggle and crashed. It wasn't pretty. Coming off 4 weeks of a very traumatic experience where I was basically running off adrenaline 24/7 and having to constantly be "on my game" and then being thrown into sleepless nights once we finally got home, was a recipe for disaster. I was in bed all day yesterday allowing my body to have some recovery time from all that stress. I don't know what we would do without my parents who are helping us run this circus act until life becomes "normal" again.

Sarge has rough times but he also has times of peace. He had his first pedi appointment this morning and he had gained 8oz from where he was at discharge on Thursday! So he currently weighs 6lbs 10oz. His pedi was greatly impressed with that weight gain and it was a huge sigh of relief to me to see that he IS growing although eating is still a HUGE chore for him.

His pedi put him on a new formula because of his gas and reflux problems. Yes, the expensive kind that both girls had to be on as well. We are praying that the formula switch along with seeing a chiropractor and using essential oils on him will be the recipe for relief for him from the gas/reflux.

He is still have latching issues and takes FOR-E-VER to eat. He prefers latex nipples like in the NICU. We could not find Dr Brown latex nipples in the stores but Dave found some latex nipples on line that fit the Dr Brown bottles.

Prayers are so appreciated.
