The boys are (fingers crossed) asleep for now so N & I are hanging with the birds & catching up on last week's Dangerous Catch. (I love this show... no idea why watching dudes fish for crab is so compelling, but it is!) In our hours in front of the TV holding babies, we've also discovered the joys of BBC America. I am now totally addicted to their cooking shows. We are Top Chef junkies, but since the season ended, we've been in food tv withdrawal, & BBC has some awesomely English food shows. Last Restaurant Standing (like Top Chef, but with restaurants) & The F Word are really fun. Or maybe we're just so sleep deprived the accent alone is enough to entertain us. It's possible. & now Val is crying, so I'll have to finish this later...
a day later & I'm back, typing & watching (what else?) The F Word on the BBC. Love it.
The guys are sleeping, although Conrad has had a really rough few days. His reflux has gotten so bad, we took him back into the doc yesterday. Poor guy has been screaming, puking & eating non-stop. He's been so tired from screaming & puking that he falls asleep during feeds & then pukes up half his food, & is hungry again almost right away. So now he's on prevacid once a day & we're supposed to see some improvement by the weekend, but so far it's not been any better. So N & I are exhausted & Conrad is still pretty miserable, which sucks. Really hoping this works... I hate seeing my baby so distraught. On the upside, the holding after feeds & tilted crib are working well for Val, so we're about 50% on combating the reflux right now, although with the screaming & lack of sleep it sure feels like the reflux is winning.
Caden's Dr told me to give it a month. A MONTH! A month seems like such a long time.. The point, if you don't see improvement right away don't freak out.
ReplyDeleteFunny, we used to watch the cooking shows also when C was fresh home. But it was diners, dives, and drive ins. We are now just back to normal educational TV (no not cartoons).
i used to watch vh1 music videos at all hours of the night. nothing else used to be on! :) Sorry that Conrad isn't doing too well, I hope the prevacid helps him sooner rather than later. Woot for Val sleeping better!
ReplyDeleteParker's on Pepcid for his reflux and it did probably take a week to really see the results. The waiting sucks, but hopefully there will be some relief in the near future! We still have issues, but definitely some improvement.
