Acid Reflux maybe?

Baby is still having some feeding issues. I'm starting to suspect it's acid reflux. He has all the symptoms and he just acts so uncomfortable while eating. Poor little guy. We took him to the doctor on Tuesday and she said to wait a few days and see how it goes. I personally am ready to take him back and get some medicine but I'll just have to be patient. He's still gaining weight and is very healthy so he'll be fine.

Unlike most babies, Josh LOVED his first bath. He loved it.
While awake, his favorite past-time is to stare out the window. What a cutie! I love him so much.

Yes, I'm a mother now...

Last night was rough... I thought the baby was supposed to get better at sleeping, not worse! I have been up since 4:00 in the morning pretty much. Here is the dilemma and any suggestions are welcome. Every time I give Josh his bottle (it used to only be sometimes but now it's all the time) he has a real struggle actually latching onto it. First he just bites with his little gums, and then he thrashes his head back and forth, and then he cries. It's almost like he's so excited to eat, that he can't. Then, once he starts sucking, he swallows so vigorously that he swallows air and chokes. This is the pattern every time and I can't figure out how to help him. It's so sad! Suggestions?

He's here! Sorry it took so long. I'm finally starting to feel like a real person again and not so much a zombie anymore. These past two weeks have been crazy! Baby J was born via an unplanned C-Section, we spent 3 nights in the hospital, and then we spent another week in New Mexico waiting for the approval to bring him home to another state. It was a very emotional time, especially due to the extreme lack of sleep we all suffered from. He's so cute! He looks just like birthmommy. I think about her a lot. But she tries to look at this in a positive light and I'm so thankful for that. Josh eats all day long. The nurses kept telling me to feed him every 3 to 4 hours but that's just not enough for the little guy. You can imagine my surprise when he started demanding to be fed every hour and a half. It makes for long nights too. I'm hoping to stretch his schedule out a little more but so far, it's not working. Every day feels a little more normal to me, and I love him more every time I see him.
