Gas Gas Go Away

Everett has been having a lot of tummy troubles. He has the worst gas ever. After every feeding he experiences bad gas and then at about 4pm and 4am he has little episodes that last for a couple hours. The 4pm one is easier to handle as everyone is up and Ryan is home so we can hand Everett off. The 4am one is exhausting for me because I am up alone with him wishing for some sleep. Poor little baby. So far he is on a pro biotic drop that the doctor said we should try and gripe water. We have not really noticed if either of them are helping at all.

Everett does not really have a full blown cry yet. I am not sure if that is related to being premature or not. He grunts, groans, whines, whimpers.....but we have not got a full cry out of him yet. I am not complaining either. It is a lot easier for Ryan and Rawley to sleep through whimpers than it would be to sleep through crying.

Other than dealing with the gassy baby we have not been up to too much. Everett attended his first event on Saturday. We walked down the block so Rawley could watch the dog show for a bit. Yesterday we took Everett to church with us to show him off to everyone that had been praying for his safe delivery and health. Other than that it has been fairly low key around here. Auntie Merry, Melissa and Owyn visited on Friday night. Then last night my friend Tommy and his girlfriend Jeannine came and visited.

This is the first outfit that Everett has grown out of. I am realizing that although he is only 5 pounds he is very very long. The preemie clothes are all getting a little short when he stretched out. Long fingers, long toes and a long body.... I wonder if he will be tall?
I am posting this one just because is melts my heart.
This is his cousin Owyn who has met him only this once and is in love already. Owyn has a fascination with babies and he is so gentle and kind. He rubbed Everett's head and kissed him a bunch of times. Then he just stood there saying "baby" over and over with a huge smile on his face. Owyn you are so cute.
Everett chilling in his stroller on the way to the dog show. It was quite hot here on Saturday and he seemed pretty relaxed just lazing in the stroller.
Daddy took these pictures for the guys he plays hockey with. They wanted to know how small Everett was in comparison to something they know.
Everett had another bath last night. He does actually enjoy his bathes but this picture does not show it well. We have nothing better to bath him in right now because he is too small to put in the sink and we don't have a bucket big enough.
Jeannine was open t holding Everett right away........
Tom took some convincing. He was so scared to hold Everett, but once I swaddled him really well and we all encouraged him to do it he finally caved. Then he got all teared up. Tom is such a sweat heart. I really love this photo of him and Everett.

Beautiful pictures! He does look bigger.
Hope the gassy tummy is just a short phase!

Poor gassy baby! It was so sweet hearing him in the background when we talked though. I can't wait, just can't wait to get some baby cuddles!! Before I had Ryan I used to have dreams about taking him to a store and setting him down to do something and forget to take him with me. Thank goodness he wasn't as tiny as Everett is or I just might of.

I like the picture of Tom and Everett too! The one with Owyn & Evertt is too cute too!! What a sweetheart Owyn is.
