Trick or Treat





























Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat! Zach had his Halloween party at school yesterday. He came home with all kinds of goodies. Then we went trick or treating last night with his cousins, Daimien, Jake & Brody. Daimien was a ninja and Jake & Brod were mummies. I'm a bad Aunt because I forgot my camera and did't get their pictures. Here are pics of Zach & Nate dressed up plus a pic of Nate laughing.

1 month




Yesterday, Nathan was 4 weeks old. It has been a crazy month to say the least. We have changed his formula 3 times because he was allergic to the milk and soy based formulas. He is now on alimentum, which is supposed to be a hypoallergenic formula. He went to the doctors yesterday because he has been projectile vomiting and they found traces of blood in his stool which means he is allergic to this formula. The doctor said to keep him on this formula for a couple more weeks to make sure all the proteins from the other formulas are out of his system. So he might not be allergic to alimentum. Lets hope he's not. The doctor also thinks he has acid reflux and put him on zantac. So not only is the poor thing allergic to his formula but he has acid reflux. Who knew babies could have acid reflux? The good news is despite all his feeding issues, he has been gaining weight very well. He is now up to 9 lbs 11 oz. As much as he throws up its a miracle he's gained anything. Here are a couple pics I took last week.

Pumpkin Patch






Last Tuesday Zach went on a school field trip to a pumpkin patch. He went on a hayride and picked a pumpkin from the fields. He also went through a corn maze, jumped in straw and went through the spooky barn. He also got to pet some of the animals. Here are some pictures we took and a picture of Nathan's first bath.

WE'RE HOME!!



Yeah, we're home. We came home Wed. the 24th. Sorry for the delay in posting anything but it has been quite a transition. Thanks to Jen for posting pics so people wouldn't have to wait so long to see Nathan. Nathan is completely different from Zach when he was a baby. For example, our first night home Nathan cried from midnight until 5:00am. He has had a couple of good nights where he will cry when he's hungry and go back to sleep shortly after, but for the most part he cries most nights. I think he might be a colicky baby. If he is I'm not sure how we will survive on 3 hours sleep a night. I am having somewhat of a difficult time recovering. I don't remember being in pain this long after I had Zach. Hopefully all will be well soon.
