Talking II

Eric — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 06:39:00 +0000

Caden is “talking” too. Sometimes he chats up a storm. It’s really fun to hear all those baby noises…he is so sweet. He first started “talking” around 10 weeks old.

Reflux

Caden was diagnosed with having reflux. We have been giving him Prevacid to help; we have to smash it up and give it to him from a syringe. Cooper never really spit-up, so we kind of knew something was up when Caden was spitting up after almost every feeding.

Because of the reflux, we have to put him in his swing to sleep and he has to sit upright for 20 minutes after a feeding. The Prevacid has helped a lot, but it could be another few months before he grows out of it.

Smiling

Caden started smiling around 7 weeks and is a very smiley baby. He is so good, that sometimes we don’t even know he’s in the room.

Heart Murmur

When Caden was born, the nurse heard a heart murmur. At his 1 week doctors apointment, the doctor heard it as well. Just to be safe, we saw a cardiologist. After talking to the cardiologist, he assured us that it is a very minor (innocent) murmur that will go away within 6 months.

It has to do with the development of the heart and the transition from being in the womb to being “out”. More info…

1 Week Checkup

Caden:
Weight: 6 pounds 10 ounces
Height: 19.25 inches

In the first week, he gained back all of his weight and more! Nursing is going well and we are all still adjusting to the “new” routine.

Caden has arrived!

Our second son, Caden James Martin, was born this evening at 6:30 pm. He weighs 6lbs 6ozs and is 19 inches long.

Shannon had a very fast delivery. We arrived at the hospital at 6:07pm and delivered at 6:30…whew, that’s cutting it close =)
