Last Week!

Hi All,

Well... this is my last week home with Aston. April 7th I will be returning to work. :( I am trying to take advantage of this last week and get the house in order (clean) so next week's transition may be a little easier. Sometime this week we are going to the daycare to let them know he will be starting next week. Maybe he can meet some of his new friends. I remember the first day that I took Britt to daycare. The pouty bottom lip she gave me brought tears to my eyes. Hopefully this time will be a little easier. Wish us luck!

Easter

We went to church this morning for Easter. It was the first time in a long time. I think we all enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully we can make it a weekly thing. Granny, Papa, Lyn, Jason, me and the kids went. We put Brother in the nursery. It was the first time someone we didn't know took care of him. I was a little hesitant at first but they seemed really nice and gave us a pager in case they needed to get ahold of us. All went well. Maybe we can find Lyn a husband if she keeps attending with us!!



Here are a few pictures from yesterday's hunting and I will post today's later. Happy Easter All!

ASTON

Hi All Cope Fans,

Here is an update on Mr. Aston. He went to the Dr. last Friday to get his 2 month shots. I have to say he did not enjoy it too much. Dr. Peak changed his formula to a already digested formula that is suppose to help with his constipation and gas. All was well until about Tuesday when he wasn't feeling too good. I got him into the Dr. on Wednesday. He has been congested and not eating normal. The Dr. said that because of his spit up through his nose and mouth it is causing irritation. She has prescribed Zantac for him to take twice a day for the next 2 months - at least. At his 4 month check up we will reevaluate his digestive and spit up issues to see if he can be taken off. He has only been on the Zantac for 2 days now so it is hard to say if it is working but I he has only spit up twice since - which is good. The Dr. also switched him back to the Similac Sensitive formula. We will see how his stomach handles it - if he gets constipated again. She said if he does then we might need to switch him to Good Day which has more whey protein and I guess is easier on their stomachs.
We are doing good other than that. He weighs 11.6 pounds and is 24.5 inches long.

Oh, and he is eating too much. She has asked that we keep him around 3 ounces per feeding instead of the 4 ounces he has been eating. She said he is probably eating more than he needs because it feels good on his sore throat.
That's all for now. We will keep you updated on how he is feeling.
