Hudson David, Your one month already?

{One Week}

{One Month}

wow, I cant believe its been one month since our little man was born. He has changed so much and needless to say its been a long month. Its been an emotional roller coaster. After 2 weeks of him in the world, poor little guy was diagnosed with Reflux and a milk allergy. JD and I were not sleeping and little man was not sleeping. The doctor told us a newborn will cry anywhere from 1-2 hours within a 24 hour period, that was not the case with Hudson. He would cry like 5-6 hours a day. We knew right away something was wrong. He was put on reflux medication that only worked for about a week and he was right back to were he was before, crying and we could tell he was in pain. He would cry and I would cry :( All I wanted to do was help him. 

We then went back to the doctor and he was put on a stronger reflux medicine, which seems to be helping more thus far. Grandma Pam also took him to a chiropractor to get him adjusted to see if that would help with his reflux and we think it has helped a lot. We go back to the doctor tomorrow to have him checked out again. Apparently this is very common in newborns and last up to 9 months. The great thing is that he will grow out of it but the bad news is its painful and hard for everyone. 

Even though its been a rough first month, its been a great month. We love him so much and its so nice to have a supportive husband and family.
