Happy First (Month) Birthday Tristan!

Well, to say that we are in survival mode is an understatement. The newborn honeymoon is way over and my sleepy baby is now WIDE AWAKE all the time, and the culprit is our good and familiar friend - Mr. Reflux. He was a friend to Micah and a friend to Caelan. Unfortunately.


Poor Tristan is uncomfortable all the time, fussy at nursing, hiccups violently after every feed, and has explosive mucous diapers. This has been very very hard for me the last five nights of having about 3 total hours sleep each night. I'm not good to anyone, not to my two kids and not to my husband when I don't have relief. We are going to need to do something different. And soon.

Here's the only way we can get our baby to sleep.

The good news is that one month has flown by. And baby Tristan has had many firsts that are wonderful milestones....

First Bath



First time at the Beach
Memorial Day/Dewey Beach

First upside-down trio picture

First time on a date . That's a milestone for us probably, not him.
We got out for some yummy sushi within the first two weeks!

First time umbilical cord fell off

Let's hope the next month of nights fly by quickly. We're headed to the doctor on Thursday for some Zantac to help control the pain. And with much prayer, he'll hopefully be this baby:

Tired Tristan. Wouldn't that be a blessing?
