The past two weeks have been quite interesting. Last week with Sawyer's doctor appointments and this week all of us have been sick. When one gets sick, everyone does! We are all starting to get over our nasty colds though which is great. Still a little congested but overall better.
I called Sawyer's GI specialists again on Wed. and told her we needed to try something different since the medication she put him on was not helping. She recommended an over the counter drug called Pepsid Complete. We have been giving him it for two nights and he has slept through the night without any reflux or vomiting! I woke up and had to go check on him to make sure he was still breathing! Its crazy how one full night of actual sleep makes you worry that your baby is not breathing. Along with giving him the Pepsid, we have stopped giving him any food past 7:30 pm. Not even a baba. Its been kind difficult cause he is very use to a baba at night and he doesn't eat much during the day so he seems to get very hungry at night. Its seemed to be helping him sleep though. Now if we can just get him to start eating more....
Saturday I am hostessing our Lee family party and am a nervous wreck! I never feel like my house is 'good enough' for my family. All my families houses are so well decorated and quite a bit larger than mine. Yes I know they are older and have had to work to get these nice things, it just makes me feel a little intimidated. So I have been buying a few things to help spruce up my little home. I know it really shouldn't matter. I just want people to like my house. Is that so wrong? I am glad we are getting together. Its what my dad always wanted, to keep us all close and I want to carry on his wishes. Even if I have to hostess every single family get together!
Onto a different subject: Brandon started one of those in house garden-starter kit things and already we have plants growing! He planted them only about a week and a half ago and they are taking off like crazy! We are thinking we are going to have to move some of the beans out into a bigger pot cause they are just cruizin! Makes me so excited for spring! I am also going to grow some of my own herbs I have decided! Gardening is kind of a pain to start but reaping what you have sown is so wonderful!
Just looked outside and its snowing. What the crap?! Where is the sun? I am ready for spring to come.

My kids have been sleeping through the night for 2 years and I STILL check to make sure they're breathing before I go to bed most nights! I may be a bit paranoid but I like to know they're safe!! I also want to be able to grow my own garden so bad. Hopefully soon. You are so sweet to host the family get-togethers. I know what a project it is. We did Thanksgiving year before last and are always doing birthdays. It is a lot of work but so worth it!!
