We have had a pretty busy week. My mom came back in town and stayed with us part of the time. Last Saturday Carter went to his first birthday party. My friend Mary's little girl Tatum turned two. She had a pool party for all of the kiddos. My mom came with us and we all got in the pool. Carter did the same thing as before, slept most of the time in the pool. He looked so cute though. After the party we went to my grandparents, my mom's parents, house since the party was in Arlington. My grandma, Nanny, was at the hospital when he was born and went to my house one day to see Carter. However my Papa hadn't met him yet. We had a good time it was great to see how they were with him.
Well, last week Carter started up his "colic" again. We didn't know what to do because he was also rejecting his bottle. He was crying so bad he was sweating so I took his onesie off. I noticed on his back a rash. I called his doctor and they told me to come it that day. It turns out his rash wasn't anything, it was baby acne, he is having withdraw from my estrogen. I noticed today it was gone. She also told us that it wasn't colic but reflux. That's why is was rejecting his bottle. Poor baby! She prescribed us some medicine he takes 3 times a day. It seems to be working. He hasn't been really fussy since or throwing fits. She also told us to start putting rice cereal in his formula and it will help with the reflux. We do this at night and he has been sleeping a lot longer. We usually only have to get up once in the night to do a feeding now. It's been soooo nice.
