We Made It Back!

Last night, Ryan, me, Jackson and Carol got back from our long road trip to Milwaukee for Ryan's cousin Jason and his new bride Danielle's wedding. We had such a great time, and it was so wonderful to spend time w/ Ryan's family. We do not get to see them often enough, so we took advantage of this opportunity - even w/ a 1 month old! Jackson did very well on the road - it turned out to be a 13 hour drive, and he slept most of the way. On the night of the wedding, his grandma so very generously took him overnight! My first overnight w/o Jackson! Ryan and I stayed at the hotel so we could hang out at the reception longer. It was a LOT of fun!

Sunday - we were about to leave for an overnight in Chicago on our way back when Jackson threw up all of his bottle. I assumed it was because he didn't burp, but then after giving him a bottle again about an hour/half later, he threw up that bottle too! That was a bit scary! Ryan called the pediatrician, and we started him on pedialyte to avoid dehydration. He was able to keep the pedialyte down and so we very very slowly have started him back on formula. He's been on soy formula since last Tuesday and he has been having very bad gas ever since. Well, this morning was the end of that - Ryan had had enough! He was screaming each time the gas pain would hit and then he would calm when it passed - we did this all night! Poor baby! So, Ryan was DONE w/ the soy - he went out and bought the Similac Sensitive and we started him on that this morning. Today, he had to be held all day - he cried every time he wasn't in my arms. He definitely has an upset tummy! I'm hoping that we can filter out all of this old soy formula from his system and we can have our happy baby back. Hopefully sooner than later!
