Stumble It!
Well, it's been three weeks and I haven't heard from the dermatologist yet and he said they only call if there's a problem so I think I'm in the clear. Part of me was sure that every voicemail I listened to was going to be The One: You have skin cancer. Please come back so we can amputate your leg.
But it wasn't. Despite my fair complexion and my moley (MOLEYMOLEYMOLEY - I can't help myself) body, I seem to have slid under the radar this time. I will make sure to go every few months to have Dr. I Still PeePee In My Bed to get checked out.

Today marks the two-week mark that Sawyer has been on the Prevacid and HolyMotherofGoats, is he a new baby. No screaming. No arching his back. No more pain during eating. He barely cries at all. Seriously, it's like I ordered this baby from a catalog:
"Hi, I'd like the kind that cries only when hungry and only until a bottle is shoved in his whine-hole, giggles at my goofy faces, talks to the picture frames on the wall, and sleeps through the night."
"Well, aren't you in luck, Ma'am. We have the new Sawyer 2.0 model available for a low payment of $100,000 which you can pay over the next 18 years. However, we cannot guarantee the product will not get pee in your eye, snot on your shirt, or spit up in your bra. Also, he may or may not crash you car in 16 years."
"Great. I'll take it!"
I couldn't be more relived at how well he has improved and kick myself for waiting so long to get him on meds. I just kept hoping that it wasn't - that it couldn't be - reflux for both babies. And yet it was. But it's all under control now and despite a little cold he has, he's the happiest baby I may have ever seen. He'll sit in his Bumbo, on your lap, in his playpen (oh wait, it's not PC to call it a "pen" anymore, right?), on the floor, in his crib and just smile and kick his legs like a dreaming dog chasing a rabbit. He laughs at your smiles, coos when you talk to him, and searches the room until he finds you when you call his name and then lights up in grins when he sees you.
And my god, he's so damn cute.

Oh Dang that smiling face...I just died a 1000 times. I want the Sawyer 2.0 as well.
He is so adorable. I'm so grateful that the Prevacid is working for you both! Yay for a happy tummy for Sawyer!
I am thrilled that he's a new baby :) It makes life so much easier!
Cute? He's beyond cute. I so can't wait to love on him and Charlotte!!
Yay! I'm so glad the medication is working for Sawyer. What a cutie!!
I don't know if MOLEYMOLEYMOLEY comes from the movie Uncle Buck or not, but that totally reminded me of the scene where he's introducing himself to the principal who has a large mole on her face and he calls himself "Moley Russell's wart"
He is SO cute. Wahhh - I can't wait to hold him. Can. Not. Wait.
Apparently, pack n play is a better word. You cannot pen your kid, but it's cool to pack them.
Also, love that smile!!!
I'm so glad you were able to make that decision, even though it was hard for you. He's just gorgeous, and it will be worth every second of peace that all of you have now.
I'm so happy to hear that he is so happy! And gosh, he's so cute.
