I just wanted to check in and see how you and Jagger are doing??? Did he sleep better last night and/or did you get a break at all? Is he still showing reflux/pain symptoms? Have you talked to your doc about how you've been feeling? I keep thinking of you and I hope you're holding up....

Hi Jill I'm doing ok. Last night J only got up twice so I was up once and dh got up once with him which is totally doable. I went to bed at 9 last night so I feel much better today! He isn't showing any reflux symptoms and I have been adding thick-it to his bottles so maybe that is helping? I talked to the dr on monday and she suggested adding an hour every day that I can count on for "me" time but so far that hasn't really happened. When dh comes home from work its sort of chaos trying to get dinner ready and then one of us eating while the other deals with kids. I'm thinking today I might come home early with Jagger and let the nanny deal with both kids while I do some stuff around the house. If I could just get the nanny used to J then I could leave him with her too on wed's and get a few hours of alone time. I don't think dh really "gets" what I'm going through, I know he is trying to understand and help. It was actually pretty liberating to just spill how I was feeling to the therapist on monday, I was shocked!
I see he's on thickener. Like I said before, it helped us a lot and the reflux really wasnt that at all but it was aspirating issues. Thick-it thickens over time, so you might find that part annoying. We use Simply Thick and it stays the same consistency. I use the pump bottle because I was tired of opening up the ketchup packets.
Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.
