Cookies and Crayons

The new session of Kindermusik started today. This will be our last session with Miss Kat. The description of this one is:

Peekaboo! I Love You!

More than a curious story, Mother Goose games like peek-a-boo help your baby understand language. Uncover more ways to say “I love you” using bubbles, American Sign Language, and parent-baby dances. Connect with other newborns and families in the community and learn how music improves your child’s development process.

There are a lot of babies in the class but I think it should be a lot of fun. Most of the babies seem to be about a year old so it’s a bit younger class than the one we had last time.

In other news, Auntie Suz is coming tomorrow. Dougie is very excited to meet her. She’s going to come to his swimming classes and she can even participate in My Gym on Friday. It should be lots of bonding fun. We’ll definitely post pictures.

This is what happens when Daddy feeds Dougie

More Dougie and Mags

Have you seen the movie “Alien”?

We got the results from Dougie’s ultrasound. It did confirm that he had reflux and that there were no other physical problems. So, that’s good. Unfortunately, he’s maxed out on the Prevacid so we can’t increase that. The doctor wants us to try a new medication, bethanechol. It is from a group of drugs called “prokinetic” and is normally used to treat delayed gastric emptying. The drug causes the stomach to empty faster thus reducing the amount of acid that can build up and cause reflux. We’re hoping that this may help things along substantially. If he isn’t improved by Friday, we’re supposed to talk to the doctor again.

Dougie slept through the night!!!! He’s technically done it once before but it was from 7pm to 1am so we didn’t get as much extra sleep as we hoped for. But last night, he slept from 12:30am – 6:30am. I’m practically giddy.
