My First Hurricane Warning...

Not that Kaden seemed to know the difference, but I started to get nervous thinking about Fay possibly hitting us as a Cat. 1 storm. All you Weather Channel addicts know by now- she was just a tropical storm, and we were lucky enough to escape the worst part. So last night and today, we had a LOT of rain bands and gusty winds, but nothing too serious.


The night before landfall...... and the afternoon after. Not too exciting, eh?






In my pre-K days, I would've spent the time reading next to a window. Instead, I wound up nursing almost 2 hours straight (is the kid really that hungry? or just a slow eater?) and what felt like another 22 walking him around trying to get the gas out. Thank God we have a dr. appt tomorrow so I can get more suggestions. His gas doesn't seem to follow the formula only- he's bloated and fussy whether he nurses or gets a bottle. Anyone heard of gripe water? other 'wives tales' or home remedies?

Hey! Glad that you are all safe and sound. Great pics :)
For the gas problem, I found 2 things to be helpful- Mylicon (aka infant gas drops) and Dr. Brown's bottles. The bottles are a little pricey. But we started out with Avent and switched to them and it was worth the $ because they did help Michael. That was before the recent plastic info came out so I don't know how you feel about that. Also, I think I told you about our struggles with finding the "right" formula...but since you are also nursing, formula may not be the culprit. I hope that you find a good remedy!! Jane
