Last week Micah started crying during feedings and would not eat for very long before screaming! So we took him to the pediatrician's and she thinks maybe he has acid reflux and after eating for a couple of minutes, it starts to come back up since he's in a laying down position and then it burns. So he starts crying and won't eat because it hurts. So we waited it out over the weekend to see if it would get any better or if that's really what it was and it did not get any better. So, she told me to call her on Monday to let her know if we wanted medication. I called her and she called in the prescription for him and I picked it up on Monday. She told us it might take several days for it to really start kicking in so as of yet it's not totally working yet. I think it's getting better as he'll eat for the full time sometimes, just not all the time. I'm praying the medication takes care of it because I know he needs to eat more. So I'm having to feed him more often and I'm starting to feel like a cow. I hope this ends soon and he grows out of it but we do have family history with IBS and things so we'll see.
Other than that, things are going well here! Today is my dad's 50th birthday and he and my mom are coming to Indy tomorrow to celebrate. I'll post some pics after that!

I am feeling your pain - Jayden has recently been diagnosed with reflux and is taking medication. It seems to really be helping, although we have good days and bad days. I'm praying that Micah improves rapidly!
