Jack went for his 1 month check-up today. He weighed in at 8lb 130z and was 20 3/4 in long! 25% all around and is "proportioned well". We did discover he has reflux too. Emma spit up (projectile) a lot until she was about a year old, when she started walking is really when it went away completely. She had a "constant bib" on and we changed it a couple times a day, but it never seemed to bother her all that much. Jack on the other hand is different. He spits up almost every time he eats and it comes out his nose. He also grunts and makes a lot of noise, especially after he eats and when we lay him flat. We also noticed he cries after he spits up too. We mentioned his symptoms and his pediatrician was able to see first hand what we were talking about in the office, since Jack had eaten about 1 1/2 hours before we went. They have put him on zantac to see if it will help! We did buy a wedge for his bassinett yesterday too, hopefully the combination will allow him to sleep better at night!! ! We're happy we finally have a gainer...it took a BOY!!!

Oh my goodness i can't believe he is already a month OLD!!! i miss you soo much!!!
I'm so glad that he is growing so well...and on his Mommy's milk too! Nathan had reflux and the medicine worked wonders (he was on Axid). I pray that this will help Jack sleep better and not be in so much pain!
He is too cute!!!
He is such a snuggler! We are all so proud of our new boy! I have had some great experience with the girls and Jack! Love them so much!

He is so sweet! I am glad to hear that he is gainging weight and you aren't going through the same troubles as with the girls. We will pray that the meds work for his reflux. Not fun at all! Oh and by the way--love the NEW FAMILY PIC at the top!! :)
I love your new family picture!
I can't believe Jack is one month already! I hope the zantac and wedge will help with his reflux. I just think it's the saddest thing ever to know your baby isn't feeling good....SO maybe this will help!
Glad to hear he's growing! That's great!
