This little blog is about our son. His name is Christian Oliver Erickson. He was born Tuesday May 13th, 2003. He was 7lbs. 10oz. Now he is a whopping 9lbs. and 21.5 inches in just 4 weeks!
He's already had a few problems. When he was born he had a heart murmur, but that went away in the first 24hrs. Next was Jaundice. A 2 day dose of a billi blanket and that was gone. Now it's Gastric reflux. He's got heartburn. Basically his tummy needs to catch up with him in development. They've got him on Zantac and Myliacon drops. Yummy. They seem to be helping though. He had his best night of sleep at home last night. 3hrs and then 4hrs. after 4oz. bottles. Up from 3.5. He's going to be a big boy since he seems to be keeping all the food down. That's ok, I like chubby babies.
When he got up at 5am for another bottle he stayed awake for about an hour and his mom rasberried his tummy to an approving grin. Too bad it wasn't repeatable. Now if he can just figure out how to keep his thumb in his mouth!
