Momma's got a new 'do

So I went to see Michel (my hair dresser) last week and told him I didn't want to be a frumpy mummy and to get creative with my hair. And taddaa! I got some funky hair. The colour is called "cayenne" and is really fiery when the sun hits it. And how cute is Max in his little t-shirt and shorts!!

News on the Maxim front... We had two pediatrician adventures this week. I've been calling around trying to find a pediatrician and we finally found one. When we called we were informed that he is 70. We figured, what the heck, it's the only bite we have had so far. So we went to see him on Tuesday. Geriatric man (he wasn't a spry 70) looked at Max for about all of 3 minutes, asked if we had some concerns. We mentioned the excessive amount of spit up and he said he'll grow out of it, see you in two weeks. Well, I wasn't overly impressed. When we got back we got a call from the midwife clinic saying they got us in to see the pediatrician that they work with on Wednesday morning. I decided that I would really like to try this new doctor out and see if maybe he would be willing to take us on as new patients.

We love this doctor, Dr. Gfeller. It is really nice. We spent a good half hour with him and he asked a bunch of questions about Max's spit up, how fussy he is, how he slept, did he cry a lot, etc... He had all of Max's stats from the midwife, so when weighed him, we realised that Max had only gained 30 grams in a week (he should be gaining about 30 grams a day). so there was some obvious reason for concern and follow-up. At the moment we are going to change one thing per week to see what's going on. This week we are adding BioGaia drops, which are supposed to help with gas. I had to get the pharmasist to order it in and it's supposed be in today. We are hoping that if we can fix his gas problem he won't spit up so much and therefore start putting on weight again. If that doesn't work, then we will try something else.

I really hope that we figure this out soon. Poor Max is always so fussy and it really breaks our hearts that we can't seem to help him out. Once it's all sorted, we will be a much happier household. Stay tuned for the next saga...
