Good News!

Canon is doing fine! He is gaining weight normally and is very healthy. Our doctor thinks part of his colic symptoms are due to natural adjustment to a new formula. After a week or so he should be fine. We think he already starting to adjust to his formula. Dr. Schrader also told us to chill with the Baby Wise until he s at least 2 or 3 months old. He thinks that part of his nightly crying is him needing to be comforted and held close at such a young age. After all, he has been with Candice nonstop for 9 months. It is a little rough to regimen him so fast. I guess sometimes in life when you push to hard to make something work you end up achieving the opposite undesired result. For now we are just loving on him as much as possible, making sure is eating well, and enjoying the heck out of him!

Doctor's Appointment today

We are going today to have Canon's pediatrician check him to make sure all is ok. He is not sleeping very much. We have been told that he should be sleeping up to 18 hours within a 24 hour period. He is sleeping maybe 8-10 hours at the very best. Knowing that it takes some time to get a baby acclimated to sleeping during the day and not at night, we wanted to just have him checked to make sure nothing is going on. Even during the daytime when newborns usually sleep quite a bit he is not finding rest with any regularity. Please pray for us that we could find some closure today. If he is just a regular newborn that's fine. If he is a hyperactive child that's fine. Whatever the case may be please pray that it will be known today so at least we will have an idea when we are up until 3 or 4 in the morning. We love him so much and want the best for him!
