Andrew's Last Dr's Appt

I am finally posting about it!

Last week when we went to the gastro dr, Andrew had gained 3 ounces in two weeks. It is good that he is gaining SOMETHING, but he should still be gaining an ounce a day (this usually tapers back some around six months). The dr told me to keep a journal of everything that goes in and comes out for the next two weeks. She did not want to start running test until she gets at least one more weight check in. If, by the next appointment, he is not gaining better, they will start running test.

He is only breastfeeding twice a day now. He nurses first thing in the morning and right before bed. The rest of the time he is getting formula and baby food. So, the lack of gaining can't be from him not getting enough hindmilk!

Monday he goes to Children's to have an upper GI done. I don't know who is going to force barium down him, but I know who isn't!! This test was already scheduled by the pediatrician, and the gastro wanted me to go ahead and keep it because it takes so long to get in. Then Tuesday I take him back to the gastro to see where we go from there. The bad part is that Paul is going to be out of town AND the boys are all out of school on Tuesday!

We had a couple of nights this weekend where AJ fussed all night. We don't know what was going on, but it was just a couple of nights and he has been fine since then.

I will try to post next weeks dr check up a litte quicker!!
