My crazy Life right Now!!



I haven't blogged in a few days and that's because I've been pretty busy taking care of my little guy. He's still having major tummy/reflux issues. It's exhausting to say the least! I took him to the doctor on friday b/c not only was he still having belly problems and crying like crazy but he started breaking out in a rash on his cheeks, neck and chest. I automatically thought he has a milk allergy for sure. My doctor said it's eczema. She said it's very common around this age to appear if it's going to. She doesn't think it's from an allergy but of course doesn't know for sure. B/c he's still have the reflux really bad, she has him on prevacid. She said to try this for a week and see if his reflux and crying gets better. If he shows no signs of improvement, then we are going to switch his formula to a hypoallergenic formula and see if that helps him. She didn't want to try both at the same time which I totally understand but it's like we need some relief soon!! It's so hard to really know what it is b/c the symptoms he has could mean one of three things, Reflux(GERD), Colic or a milk allergy. We just keep praying over him and praying for wisdom as parents to know what to do. It's just so pitiful to see your sweet baby crying in pain and so restless. We need help from someone other than a doctor, we need our Father's help! He's such a sweet little guy he just doesn't feel well so he's not a happy camper most of the time :( So please, please, please say a prayer for our family.

So....in other news...while we are dealing with this, we are packing b/c we are moving to Atlanta! It's bitter sweet! We are going to miss Austin so much. Austin is such a special place to us not only is it the first place Jason and I lived together and spent our first two years of marriage here but it's where we had our son. And, we have such great friends here that we are going to miss terribly. We have been praying and considering a move for some time now. We really feel drawn to the Atlanta area so we are going to take a HUGE step of faith and do it. I'm so excited too b/c it's sooo much closer to family!!:) After we had Noah, things just changed and we want to be a little closer to family. We want our children to see there grandparents more than just holidays. I was so close to my grandparents and I wouldn't trade that for anything. It's such a special relationship and bond that I have and I want my kids to have that too. We are also excited to see some of our great friends more often :)

Also, I've taken some time off from working out due to having a baby(i did work our until i was 9 month pregnant so i've taken like 3 months off) but I have been cleared by the doctor and I can't put it off any longer so I started running again today and it felt great!! I actually did really well. It's amazing how your body just remembers. I've lost all my weight except 7lbs and its like I'm stuck. Honestly I lost everything within a week and I've been stuck for 6 weeks! Hopefully it won't take me long and I'll be back to my pre-baby weight. I was telling Jason today I loved how I looked right when I got pregnant but I was running at least 5 times a week and doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred. So as least I know what I need to do. It's just making myself do it :) I CAN DO IT!!!

Here's a few cute pictures:)

I got Noah's newborn pictures back from the photographer thursday so I'll post some tomorrow!
