I was one week old yesterday!

Gram and Granddad (Mommy's parents) were here to visit and help for the weekend. We had a good weekend. Hopefully we'll get to post pictures from that soon.

Yesterday was my 1 week birthday! Mommy and Daddy sang Happy Birthday to me, and I stayed awake most of the evening. Mommy and Daddy thought that meant I would sleep overnight - but I fooled them! I had gas, but no matter what they did, they couldn't help me get it out.

I was crying/screaming pretty loudly, but that didn't help me get it out either. Even the yummy Mylicon drops weren't helping. The only thing that helped was when Mommy or Daddy would move around with me. I think I saw every part of the house! But I did give them a scare since they couldn't calm me down for more than a couple minutes at a time and my breathing was getting funny.... Mommy called the paramedics and they came in a big red ambulance... I couldn't see it though. Of course by the time they got here, I was settled down for the most part - but the one lady told me how cute I was :)

They listened to my heartbeat and lungs and held me and helped rock me while Mommy was crying and trying to answer questions. They told Mommy and Daddy some things to try with me (most of which they already did). They said they could take me to the hospital, but that everything sounded fine and just to call back if anything changed.

The nice people (thank you Fairfax County and Annandale EMTs!) left around 4am, and I was good for about 30 minutes, and the gas in my tummy started to really hurt again! Daddy took me while Mommy slept until about 6:30 and then he crashed. Mommy got me settled and asleep somehow and we slept in the recliner in my room.

We're all fine now though - somehow the gas went away and I am sleeping in my crib at the moment. I love my Mommy and Daddy!
