Christmas!

As you can see we had a wonderful Christmas!  Our basement closet and Jax's closet looks like a Fisher Price stockroom.  He has so much stuff, I can't wait until we can play with it all in a few months.  My little guy is doing well, him and his dad are headed to the doctor's today for a weight check since his reflux has been acting up again and he is eating 6-10 less ounces a day.   UGH, we have an appointment at AI Dupont to see a GI specialist but it is not until January 25.   He has seemed better the past two days, not screaming with bottles, happier but still not eating a whole lot.  I am having Chris ask the pedi today if we can either flavor his med or try the solutabs which I have read people have a lot of success with.  I think the prevacid works but when he got bronchitis and had to go on an antibiotic it all just seemed to go to hell so hopefully this doing better trend will continue and my little man will be beefing up again in no time.

The only bummer about the holiday was that we had the stomach bug going around daycare on Christmas Eve and we apparently gave it to my family:(  My dad was hit the worst out of all of us and my mom is really not feeling well today.  I knew we should have stayed home but with it being his first Christmas and the snow storm coming the next day we all wanted to be together.  Well, we learned our lesson!  My mom and dad were supposed to watch Jax Monday and Tuesday since daycare was closed and that clearly did not happen so I took the day off and Jax and I hit the outlets with the money we got from his Mom-mom since she didn't know what to get him.  I did very well in resisting all 3-6 month temptation since he has enough but we went a little wild on 6-9/6-12 sizes.  Who can resist when the long sleeved shirts are $5 at gymboree and osk kosh?When I laid everything out when I got home I realized I probably got a few too many long sleeved shirts, I might take some back and grab some more pants.  In the end he has 8 long sleeved t shirts, 3 long sleeved onsies, 3 pairs of shorts, and 5 pairs of pants for under  $100 and we got $25 in gymbucks to use next month.   I also did buy myself a few things, I am finally back into a 6 in pants and found some awesome fitting pants at Ann Taylor.  Curvy Trouser.  Hello, that's me!  Sign me up.  I found two pairs pretty quickly and am now kicking myself for not looking for more but Jax was getting fussy and I wanted to get home.   I actually got a compliment today on how nice my pants looked which is always a confidence booster.  I tried on the jeans in the same style and like usual they looked ridiculous.  I don't know what it is with me and jeans.
