Confessions

These last two weeks are really and truly, the first two weeks I have actually enjoyed myself over the last four months. Whether it was Drew's constant crying, my worrying about his health issues, or me stressing about being away from Drew or Evan during the whole NICU stay, there always seemed to be something. Drew's first 3 months of life were plagued with health issue after health issue. Once we got him out of the hospital, it was either reflux, constipation, milk allergies, colic, and the list goes on and on. Finally, after about 5 visits to the Pediatrician and one to the ER, we finally were referred to a GI specialist. Thank goodness for that. Turns out, he didn't really have any of the above (except some mild reflux). What he did have, is a little too much to talk about on the blog, but I will tell you, it seems as though she fixed him right up. He is, for the first time a happy baby! Of course, he has his fussy moments, and I don't want to jinx myself and say the tough times are over (because he still wakes up every 2-3 hours all night... so we aren't out of the woods yet). But I can honestly say I am really enjoying him now. Sounds terrible to say this is just beginning, because I have always loved my little bundle of joy. But caring for a baby who cries every waking hour is quite challenging. I am sure he feels the same way, he is finally enjoying his new life!!! He weighs about 11 lbs, loves to eat and watch his brother play, and prefers my arms to anyone else's. Now if he could just sleep through the night.....
