quinn had his first well-baby check today. he's up to 8 lbs 1 oz and is still 22 inches long. everything's looking good except that the doc confirmed her earlier suspicions/diagnosis that he has a pretty major case of reflux. he started on baby prilosec tonight, and i'm hoping it makes him much more comfortable. as it stands, he cannot lay flat, and he arches his back and cries after most feedings. it's so sad to see someone so small in any kind of discomfort. livie had reflux, too, so we're at least familiar with this ailment!
we are currently searching for the right nickname for quinn, and of course, this is a work in progress as we get to know his sweet little self. we started calling him truffles the other day b/c he snuffles like a pig after truffles...this is due to his reflux issues (it seems that his nose burns a lot of the time). and, today, we were remarking on his super long limbs, torso, and fingers/toes...he looks like an especially cute monkey. so, for now, he's our truffle monkey.
one final note...MILK JUST IN! yay! it's still not enough to really feed quinn, but it's something!

Ah, I wasn't refreshing in vain. And these pics do not disappoint. He's just absolutely beautiful. Thanks for reassuring me that it's possible to have a kid as cute as Livie (I can't imagine Blabbly being as cute as Victor). :)
Also, I want Taz's camera!!!!
Loved the pics! Sorry to hear about the reflux but you guys are pros now and he's soooo lucky to have you both around.
Dawn: I love my camera too. ;)
Congrats! Getting your milk in is supposed to be payment for everything you've gone through. Hopefully it will be enough to sustain him soon!
