Well it's been a while since I've blogged .... I'll have to save an update post for later when I can unload the camera. A lot has happened ..... little Jacob is a little boy now. Of course, mommy will always see him as my baby. We signed on the house last Friday - feels good to be homeowners again. We move in this Friday (I'll post pics soon).

Jason's parents have been beyond wonderful. I had planned on us being the kind of house guests that they didn't even know were there .... NOT THE CASE! I realize now this would not have been possible anyway with a little one .... but Jacob slept the longest stretch since we've been here just the past two nights. So, to put it in perspective ... he's been waking up anywhere from 2 - 5 times a night from July 29th ... until this past Tuesday night. Oh, and NO NAPS. We got an hour and 15 minute nap out of him twice ... but the average was one 20-25 minute nap/day. Didn't slow him down ... we had a newborn by night and a very active toddler by day. Notice I'm talking in past tense .... I'm hoping this isn't just wishful thinking! Of course we've had about 4 or so visits to the doctor's office pleaing with him to tell us "what's wrong????" and a few more calls in. We tried everything, EVERYTHING. So, after undergoing a swallow study that showed nothing, two acid reflux meds (Axid and Prevacid) that the doctor said we had to wait two weeks to see results with (are you kidding me?) - nothing was working. He was rejecting solids, only wanted his bottle. Was taking up to 18 oz. of formula during the night time wake-ups. Then this Monday - feeling greatly defeated and exhausted - I put yet another call into the doctor and he was of course concerned about the food rejection. He said he had one more med for us to try and that we'd see results in 3 days if it was going to work. If it doesn't work ... we have to go to a GI Specialist b/c something else is wrong. Oh dear. So, we gave him his first dose of his medicine two nights ago and he slept from 8:00 P -  5:30 A, which is incredible. He did wake-up at 10:00 P with a little gas, but went right back down. So, we're really hoping we're on the upside of this. I realize that was a lot of whining, but that's really why blogs exist. I already see an improvement in his disposition. He's such a cutie ... so curious and determined. Definitely got an explorer gene.

Well I'll provide more updates when I upload the pics, gotta get to sleep for our big move tomorrow. To my friends and family, thanks for having patience with me about not keeping in touch -- if this medication works, I'll be back on the social scene!
