2 month check-up

Brecken had his 2 month check-up today! The past few days, I've wondered if he had Acid Reflux. He's been crying while eating, I can hear fluid come up his throat and he chokes, swallows it, and then cries, and he's been throwing up a bit more. I mentioned it to Dr. Jake this morning and I was right- Brecken has a bit of reflux. Jake said the crying while eating is a good sign of it. He said we could give Brecken a little bit of water between feedings to soothe the burning and to kind of weight the milk down so it doesn't come back up. He also said when we switch to formula feeding (which he'll be fed formula during the day when at the babysitter's when I go back to work) to have him on Enfamil AR, which is NOT the kind we just bought at Sam's. Figures. :) The grocery store here has it so I bought a can because Jake said to try it out before I go back to work to make sure it'll agree with Brecken's stomach. It's a little heavier of a formula so it won't come back up so easily.

However, that's the only thing "wrong" with Brecken- he's healthy as a horse otherwise! He grew a TON from a month ago. He's not up to 10 lbs, 2 oz!! He grew almost 3 pounds in a month!! He's in the 30th percentile for that now. He's just under 23 inches long, which is almost 3 inches of growth from a month ago, and is in the 50th percentile for that. His noggin grew a bunch too- it's now in the 75th percentile when it was only in the 25th percentile a month ago. :)

He did NOT like his shots, but didn't cry too long. Josh was able to meet us at the doctor because it was during his prep time, so he held Brecken during the shots. I'm glad I didn't have to. :( Brecken fell asleep in the car afterward though, so that's good. It figures, however, because Brecken was in the happiest mood this morning and then we had to go ruin it with shots. This morning, he was just grinning all over the place at that mobile my mom got him. He was having a great time with it.
