Since the last post, the battle with reflux continued. After an additional doctor's appointment, we put John on Prevacid in addition to the Zantac, and started adding rice cereal to his bottle. We've been on this combination for about 2 weeks, and I think this is going to work. He's definitely in less pain. I hope this will continue to be the case.
Sleeping-wise, things are still kind of weird. John is going from 11 to 7 without needing to be fed, but still wakes up at least once a night for no reason, usually between 4:30 and 5:30. The 5:30 is doable, but the 4:30 is really killer. One of us gets up and reswaddles him, gives him a pacifier, puts him back up at the head of the crib after he's slid down to the bottom, or any number of random things. Sometimes he goes right back to sleep, sometimes he is restless and then that's it for your sleep for the night! And to give credit where credit is due, it's usually Andy getting up with him since I'm usually up until midnight for the last feeding. We've tried everything I can think of, I've done tons of reading, but I can only conclude that he's just restless at that time for some reason. I sure hope he grows out of it soon!!!
Today was John's baptism. We were so nervous that he was going to freak out during the ceremony, but he did really well!! Everyone thought he was a little angel! Andy's brother Dave and my sister Robyn were the godparents, and it was so nice to have both sets of grandparents there as well as our good friend Courtney.
Tomorrow I'm starting back to work. We're a little nervous about this. You know, we have a routine set here, and starting a new one is a little daunting. Luckily, I'm only starting back teaching at the high school this week, so it will be only an hour or two each day until ASU starts back later in the month. It is always nice to ease into things a little. My mom will be watching John this semester, so it will be nice to not have to worry about him being in daycare quite yet!
