May 6, 2008 - Our Family (4 Weeks Old/1 Month)






Well, we've just about made it through the first month! They sure are a lot of work, but you look into their faces and know it is soooooo worth it. Sleep is overated anyway, right? The boys are doing well and gaining weight. They are about 8 lbs. now! Anthony has exhibited some signs of colic. It got so bad on Tuesday that we made our first visit to urgent care.. It just breaks your heart to see him cry and not be able to console him. The doctor gave us a list of things to do to help alleviate his pain. We were also told to buy Mylicon which is supposed to help with the gas. We got the Mylicon, changed his formula to a soy based one which helps with gas and fussiness, and we got the gripe water the lactation nurse suggested. It has made a tremendous difference! The pictures above are the boys at one, two, and three weeks respectively.

Hey Linda and Daniel, Just love the picture of the boys together, too precious. Hope the new diet is helping Anthony. Give them hugs and kisses from me. Take care.
Love, Cath
