Yup - I was right :-(

Reflux it is. Went to the pediatrician today and she agreed 100% with my diagnosis of Ryan's issue and gave us an Rx for Zantac to try. 0.5cc twice a day. If things don't improve, than can try 3x/day. Here's to hoping it works!

While we were there, we popped him on the scale to check his weight:

Ryan's Weight:
Birth: 8.0
2dPP: 7 lb 7 oz
2 weeks: 8 lb 1 oz
Today (5w4d): 9lb 15oz!

So he is just 1 oz of being an even 10 lbs!

I also popped myself on the adult scale and am down 1 lb from the last I checked - yay!

Mommy's Weight:

Final Total PG Weight Gain: +11
1 week PP: -12 lbs -- officially below pre-PG weight (but far from where I should be!)
2 weeks PP: -22 lbs -- apparently my body really likes no longer being pregnant or on any more IF drugs!
5w4d PP: -23 lbs -- So not much of a loss from a couple weeks ago, but a loss is a loss, right? ;-)

So, let's hope this Rx works and he starts to feel better soon!

And if I don't get on before Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Pediatriician? Check!

So we went to an open house for the pediatriactrics group we were thinking of using. It's about 5-10 minutes from home and seriously like a minute from the daycare that we are leaning toward.

The office has 7 doctors and always has someone on-call at all times so you never get an answering service - you will always get a doctor - even in the middle of the night. They have both sick/well child rooms, offer same-day sick appointments and the place looked really nice. That one particular doctor certainly loved to talk, but she also seemed to know her stuff. And besides, if we don't like her with our baby either, there are 6 others to choose from.

Add to all that, the practice came highly recommended from some local ladies (some of which even went there themselves as kids!), they answered all my questions and, well - we are sold! So one more item down off our list!

Pediatricians

Not sure exactly when you're supposed to do this, but I got a recommendation from a couple girls on my local so I signed up for the next open house on 8/17 - can't wait! If we like them, there's one more check off our list!
