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. =(

Lots going on....
We have had so much going on STILL...I am fighting to find the time for anything at this point. My little guy is having such a rough time. =( We started a new lactose free formula to see if it would help him. We used it for a week and to no avail, it did not. The second week was a lactose free and milk free formula, which did not help either. So, now we have moved on to a new formula, a very pricey formula, that is a hypoallergenic formula for babies with allergies and protein sensitivity. Its suppose to help with Colic also. Which I am convinced he has. There is a period in the morning, afternoon, and night where he is just unconsolable and arches his back constantly like he is in pain. Poor baby, nothing seems to help. I'm am keeping my fingers crossed that this one will do the trick. Why can't I just breastfeed my baby??? Isn't is suppose to be that easy?? He is also having problems going to the bathroom on a regular basis, so he gets prune juice twice a day. And he is still taking the Zantac and Prevacid for his reflux. I just CANNOT wait for him to outgrow this stage. I feel so horrible for him. Because of everything, he has been getting up every two hours at night, which makes for a long night for momma. Anyways, I do have so pictures to put up. But wanted to update on Deakon.
On the other hand, Keagan is doing amazing. She hasn't worn diapers during the day for about a week now. We are only wearing them when we go out for extended periods in public and at night time. She has got this potty training down for tee tee'ing. She is doing the other, but it SCARES the crap out of her everytime!! Its kind of funny! She has managed to only have a few accidents, which is expected. But I am so proud of how well she has done! I can't believe in only a month she is going to be 2! It just is sooooo hard to believe!
Farren is doing great as well! She got her report card and got all A's and B's! She had a great 6 weeks. Also, she made the basketball team!! Go Farren! And she should be finding out next week sometime which team she is on. She is super excited though, this is what she has been looking forward to all year! I am so excited about going to watch her play basketball in the same gym that I did at that age....how cool is that???
Hope everyone enjoys there Thanksgiving this year! I know we will!
