Sorry its been SO long!!

Things have been very busy for us. This whole new parent thing is very exhausting and busy! :) But we love it!! Kaiden has been doing very well. We have had a few little incidents where we had to take him up to CHOP. Once was because of him not eating too well and each feeding he ate less and less....that was awhile ago, but we took him up and everything came back fine and he ended up eating a whole bottle before we left. The next time was just recently over the Mothers Day weekend. We went camping with Mom and Ken and he seemed to be doing Ok the first night and the next day. But then sautrday evening he was just SO fussy and kept having these fits where he would scream and scream and nothing would calm him down. It ended up that we left early Sunday morning to come home in hopes that being home would settle him down but we were wrong. It just got worse to the point where he was hardly sleeping. We called up to CHOP and they wanted to see him right away. They ended up admitting him around midnite Mothers Day night. They ran a bunch of tests, did an echo, xray and ultrasound. Everything was coming back fine and actually echo was showing his heart as improved over the past month. THe doctors and us also, were thinking it could be gas/colic. so they upped his zantac, almost doubled it and also started him on mylicon drops every 4hrs. He seemed to improve and wasnt quite as fussy. We came home tuesday afternoon and also switched his formula once to got home. Since then Kaiden almost seems like a whole different baby. He does have little fits here and there but if its colic, thats going to happen. Hes must easier to calm now and is sleeping and eating much better. Were not sure what exactly has helped him or whether it was everything combined, but we're just happy hes feeling better! here are a few recent pics of our little man, hes weighing about 10lbs 11oz, and has an appt with the pediatrician on tuesday(tomorrow) and appt at CHOP on thursday. Hope everyone has been doing well, and again sorry its been so long since ive updated :)
Love, Nikki Anthony & Kaiden
