Things were really hard those first couple months of life for Jacob and for us as parents. Jacob had severe acid reflux, I was trying to nurse him which made him very gassy so we would alternate between nursing and formula feeding, he would spit up almost every kind of formula until we put him on the super pricey Similac Alimentum, he seemed to do well with that and eventually got put on some strong acid reflux medication. I never knew how hard it would really be those first couple months, but let me tell ya, it was hard. Jacob only slept at 30 minute spurts here and there,\u00a0I was running on empty and had a case of the baby blues, not exactly post partum depression but more of a mild form of it. My mom came over and helped us on Friday nights by getting up through the night to care for him and letting James and I have a solid night of sleep, it was one of the greatest luxuries ever to get 1 full night of sleep. Through all the trials of those first couple months, I never forgot how incredibly blessed we were to have this miracle in our lives, and here are some pictures to share of those first couple months, he was already a little ham at a young age, enjoy….<\/p>\n
