We are back in the land of “tummy troubles”. Little Sarge is having pretty much identical issues that his big sister had. Which leaves me pretty much zero time to blog, but I wanted to get a quick update posted while I am sitting here holding him after he went through a bad spell of discomfort.

Life is pretty challenging at this time as we try to figure out what Sarge needs to make him as comfortable as possible through the worst of all this. We’ve had differing opinions from different doctors which has made things interesting and confusing. In the end, we made decisions based off what we have already seen be successful in the past.

Bottom line is this: I have absolutely no control over what my babies are exposed to in the womb. All three of my babies are products of very toxic wombs. However, once my babies are born and placed in my arms, I do every thing within my power to give them the very best. Figuring out what is best is hard especially when I have two different doctors, both of which I respect, telling me to do different things!

Another bottom line: All of this is temporary. Sarge’s tummy troubles, our chaotic lives and the crazy circumstances 2014 has been for our family. It’s all temporary. Sarge will not be a little writhing-in-pain-infant for forever. Our family will find a new normal. And God continues to have His hand on us as we navigate these waters He is bringing us through this year.

I really hope I can find the time soon to write Sarge’s monthly updates! I really want to have record of that. I hope to find time for that this week.
