the haps..

i have a minute before time to eat again, so i just wanted to update everybody on what has been going on with the boys these days.
well, we had a lot of visitors last week...family all weekend
Friday brought Aunt Sarah from Florida, Grandpa and Carol.
Saturday brought Uncle Doug from Switzerland. We had a great time watching Classic Albums, Tennis and feeding babies of course. Aunt Sarah had to leave Sunday, but we hope she will be back very soon! Uncle Doug was here until Wednesday, and it was a great help, and awesome to have company for all of my usual housebound routines.

Joey became increasingly fussy through the beginning of the week, and was having trouble pooping, so we went to the doc on Tuesday even though we had an appt for Friday. We changed formula's (thank goodness) to a hypoallergenic formula. Within 2 days he was a million times better.
Wednesday..eye doc, both boys look great so far!
Thursday..my post partum appt..no problems
Friday..GI appt for both boys..sooo informative! It looks like both boys have reflux (which we knew of course), and they are both milk allergic, therefor allergic to their previous formula, causing allergic colitis in Joey (hence, trouble pooping) and a bad rash and lots of throw up for Ronnie.
So, the change in formula was the way to go.
We also had our two month with the pediatrician..which meant...shots! I know it hurts me so much more than it hurts them. Boy oh boy did they sleep well Friday night, though.
Joey has gotten much better, but poor little Ronnie still has a ways to go, i think. His spit ups have gotten worse, so I think we will try less food more often next, so basically it will be...feed ronnie, hold him 30 minutes, feed joey, hold 30 minutes then time to feed ronnie again! whew!
the things we do for love :)
