1st Weekend Getaway!!

Abram had his first weekend trip to Grapevine, Texas .    As an early B-day present from  Bradley's parents they gave us 2 free nights at the Texan.  Abram did wonderful and we even went  out to eat at PF Chengs  with him for a nice dinner.  Also as far as we know, no one complained on us in the hotel for Abrams 1 and only crying episode!!! Yea for us!!!

I started back to work :(  Everyone can stop crying for me now!  I was excited to go back on Monday but by Wednesday, I was so ready to stay back at home with him.  I said I wasn't going to be the mama who called to check up on him everyday.....but boy am I eating my words now!!!  It makes me so sad when I call and can hear him fussing. I know our parents know what they are doing but man this is hard.  Everyone keeps telling me it will get easier and I sure hope so.  I couldn't wait till the weekend so I could hold and love him all I want!!

On another note...........We have a prayer request!!  Most are not aware of this but we have been having some issues with Abram and acid reflux.  We have had several test taken and they all came up good until I got a call from our pediatrician.   He mentioned that the test did not confirm reflux but that test are inconclusive and can give a false positive.  Anyways, he put us on some medicine for reflux but then mentioned that we had another issue we needed to discuss.  He said that one of Abram's kidney's is enlarged and that we needed to see what the cause was.  We had another test done on Abram last week and what they thought was the problem turned out not to be the problem.  Which thank God that prayer was answered.  Now they want to send us to a pediatric urologist in Shreveport.  We are going to Shreveport next Monday  and hope that the dr. will tell us everything is okay and this is not a big deal.  Please pray that  this obstruction that the dr.'s are seeing is nothing.   Also, if it is something that the dr.'s  will know   what to do and that we can stop with all these tests on my poor baby!!

Needing Answers

Abram is a great eater and is gaining weight like you wouldn't believe.  Here is  my question/problem :  When he eats he almost always chokes 2-3 times during the whole feeding process. My other problem is that a good 10-30 minutes after feeding, I can hear him/see him choking on spit up and then swallowing it. He gags himself and then scares me to death. It is almost like he holds his breath when he is spitting up.  Anyone out there got any suggestions or advice?  I have tried the whole me leaning back thing when he eats and I have tried different positions.  A friend of mine thought it could be acid reflux, but wasn't sure.  She mentioned  having to give her little girl medicine for this.  Just curious if any one had any advice or similar situations
