One Month Old

Just a quick update on life at our house. Over the past week we've been working on figuring out why Xavier is so unhappy most of the time. It's difficult to have a baby that's only ever asleep, eating, or cry/screaming. The Doctor thinks it's Acid Reflux. This is actually pretty common in newborns since the muscle between their esophagus and stomach isn't fully developed when they're born. So we're trying Zantac 3 times a day to see if that helps.

Sleep is still touch and go. We alternate between up every 3 hrs for 1.5 hrs, and sleeping for 4-5 hrs, awake to eat, and then back to sleep for 4-5 hours. Luckily I have a great husband who tries to get me as much sleep as possible before he goes to bed and on the weekends.

Xavier's current favorite spot is strapped to Mommy in his baby-sling. I have no idea how it can be comfortable for him, since he seems so squished, but he goes right to sleep as soon as I put him on. He also likes to be on his tummy on Daddy's chest wrapped in a fuzzy blanket.

That’s pretty much all for now.  Since Xavier is a month old now I wanted to make sure I get some pictures up so you can see how he’s growing.
