There and back again

Well, Hanks fussiness grew and grew over the last few weeks. We finally took him to the pediatrician, turns out he has reflux. A little Zantac three times a day and he is right as rain and what i consider normal baby fussy, much better than mom wants to throw the baby out the window fussy. Now this poor guy has an ear infection, seems like once we get one thing taken care of another one crops up. I suppose that is parenthood. He is growing in leaps to me! Already he is 12 pounds and he no longer seems like that tiny little thing we brought home with us four weeks ago. I wish I could say I had been enjoying the journey more, but I feel like I have just now started to get into the swing of things and it is time for me to go back to work. Still, I am looking forward to routine a little, I think it will be good for all of us. We had our taxes done by mr. goldflam again( what an experience he is!), and in tradition headed to Steve's for a cheesesteak after, here are my two favorite guys!

hank has a penchant for 2am cuddling and incessant eating. he just doesn't want to be put down. i was hoping for better results with his new rocking bassinet. too bad i forgot to buy batteries. oh well, here's hoping for tomorrow night. i have a whole new perspective on the things i tell my patients now! man was i ever naive about the levels of exhaustion one can reach. i am pretty sure the last time i was this tired was in college when i was stretching myself between two jobs and a full time course load. luckily, i can stay home instead of falling asleep in IHOPS. another bonus i didn't have then, a helpful husband! it is also helpful that i am not smoking and drinking a pot of coffee in order to stay up! much better for the health. who need caffeine when Hank is around! i am looking forward to the weekend so that Sean and i can take shifts and maybe catch up on some sleep. i am also looking forward to getting out of the apartment, walking around chesnut hill, and having a cup of starbucks coffee!
