Sleep!

We decided to take a visit to Dr. W, our pediatrician because Micah has not been a very happy baby. Up until about 2 1/2 weeks he was..how i would describe as "the best baby ever". He was eating every 3 hours during the day and 4 at night. I was a happy mommy because I was getting sleep and then a switch went off.

All of a sudden he wouldn't sleep during the day unless he was in my arms and he was waking up every 2 1/2 - 3 hours to eat. I was tired and well...starting to get a little cranky.

So I called Dr. W, after a LOT of encouragement from my mom, sister, and friend. I felt silly saying, "Micah cries a lot and won't sleep." I thought they would say, "Congratulations you have yourself a newborn." BUT the office staff was awesome and Dr. W reassured me that I am not crazy. She thinks he might have reflux so we are taking him in for an upper GI either today or tomorrow. I just pray we get answers for this poor little guy who cries like he is in pain. Dr. W suggested I sleep Micah in his car seat at night and it worked like a charm. He ate every 3 1/2 hours last night. I feel so rested :)

In other news, Micah is one month old today! Time is flying by! I was planning on going back to work after 6 weeks which was the craziest idea ever...I am tentatively going back on April 4th which is a little over 8 weeks. I have the best boss who says take all the time you need :) So we shall see when I will actually be ready to leave my little man (who has gained almost 2 pounds in a month by the way). He is now 8 pounds 14 ounces. I can't believe that some women deliver babies of that size. OUCH!
