Rebecca and Chris
Joshua and Chris
So, it has been awhile...Over the past two weeks Christopher hit his peek in colic/acid reflux (at least I hope this was the worst of it), and I hit my peek in exhaustion and frustration! During this period of time Clint was working 12-14 hour days, so I was operating solo for the most part. I managed along, but I couldn't of done it without our wonderful neighbors support and once again my girlfriend Jennifer. Our neighbor Phil walked our dog Bear everyday during this time and often held Chris during his colic time, which like clockwork starts at 3pm everyday. Phil's wife Bonnie brought me over dinner most of these nights. One night they made the most scrumptious pork chops and mashed potatoes...a great comfort during this time! Then, my girlfriend Jen, along with her one-year-old son Kaethen, came to the rescue for the weekend. Without this support, I really would of been over the edge! Even though we have no family close by, we are so blessed with the neighbors and friends that surround us. The other day Clint's friends Joshua and Rebecca brought over a homemade pot of soup and an apple tart for lunch. It is through this support that we are slowly but surely managing our way through the craziness. Although Clint and I knew having a baby would forever change our lives, I can honestly say we were not quite prepared for colic coupled with acid reflux:) We will not miss you when you are gone!

One a positive note, we went to the GI specialist the other day and after examining Christopher he didn't feel there was any serious health concern or damage from the reflux. So we are slowly taking Chris off his meds and praying for brighter days for our boy soon!
