4 Months...

Already???? Really????

I can't believe my little guy is already 4 months old. Where does the time go? Well with two little ones at home, and I am now watching Jess's little one....the time goes fast!!! Deakon is doing better these days. We are back to taking Prevacid and Zantac once a day, 3 ounces of prune juice in the morning every day, and on Alimentum forumla. It really does seem to help. So, sadly but true, momma isn't breastfeeding anymore. Its been over 3 weeks and I am finally coming to terms with it and slowly cutting out pumping to eventually dry up my milk. Guess it just wasn't in the cards for us this time to do it for a year. At least we got 4 months worth. =) We have also started cereal and he is sleeping a little bit better at night. Not all night but better than every two hours. We had his 4 month check and the little toot is 13 pounds 2 ounces, and 241/4 inches long. He is growing wonderfully. He was suppose to have 4 shots combined into 2, but they were out of the combo shot, so he got 3 and needs to get the other at his next appt. Poor baby. He did pretty good though, cried for a second and then was fine when I picked him up. To the NEW bad part.....we have to go for a renal ultrasound tomorrow at Cooks. Deakon was born with 2 small skin tags on his ears. And well, apparently when the baby is forming, the ears and kidneys form at the same time. So, the doctor advised alot of times when there is an abnormality with the ears, there normally is with the kidneys too. So, hence the renal ultrasound. I am hoping a praying that this isn't the case for us and that everything with him is just fine. If you get a second, please say a quick little prayer for my guy. Although its a minor procedure, they do have put a catheder in him. Poor thing. =(
