5wk Checkup

I received a phone call yesterday asking if I would switch Brennan's doctors appt from Thursday to today. Needless to say, we went today. Brennan is now 9lbs 12oz making him in the 80%. Holy chunky monkey batman! He is also now 22.75 in tall, putting him in the 81% for his height and his head is in the 20th. Also both boys got shots today. Funny, since it was Brennan appt. I mentioned scheduling Liam for a flu shot and they asked if I wanted to do it then so I didn't have to make an additional trip. Yes please!

Brennan has had some issues with keeping food down and as well as laying down for naps (key word down). I cut out dairy to see if it would help thinking it gas, but it really didn't make much of a difference. We even put a towel at one end of the crib to elevate one side higher than the other. That didn't work either; we found Brennan upside down after his nap. He wants to eat every two hours or less, vomits, chokes and gags after eating, gasps for air, and screams when you lay him flat. Turns out his has acid reflux. Poor boy. He now has meds that I can give him twice a day to help and it should get better soon. (PS he's sleeping)

He also favors his right side for naps and well everything else. Doctor Mas said he has started to develop what's know as torticollis. I need to do some exercises with him at home to see if we can prevent it from processing all together as well as avoid him getting a flat head. If it doesn't get better, we'll have to take Brennan to a physical therapist. Worse case scenario, he'll have to were a helmet, which let's face it, he'll never live that down in this family.
