We went to the doc today. Jaeby is now 10 pounds, 4.5 ounces and 22.25 inches long. What a monster. The doc said he's "perfect". Duh.
In the last few days, the reflux issues have returned, so we increased his dosage of Zantac a bit. We have permisson to bump it up one more time if it doesn't work after a week, but then that's it. If that doesn't work, we will explore the possibility of a different type of medication.
And, in case you haven't heard, Jaeby has a case of thrush. Ick. Now that I know he has it, some weird stuff he's been doing (smacking his lips, pushing the bottle away every few seconds while eating) makes a lot more sense. They put him on an anti-fungal (nystatin) at the urgent care - 4 times a day for week! His pediatrician upped that to two weeks, so we will be giving meds 6 (yes, 6) times a day for the next two weeks. Fun stuff.
Our next appointment with the pediatrician is January 26. Jaeby is scheduled to get his first round of immunizations that day. Poor little guy - there are 5 injections and 1 oral.
