New name, new year, new chapter.....

The old name of our blog, Bringing Home Baby Wright, was a little bit outdated now that we have our sweet baby boy home now!!  So, I did a little bit of updating!!  He is 7.5 months old now and the love of our lives!!  He brings us so much joy.  I can't even remember what life was like before him now!!  :)  I am now going to just focus on our new life, our new normal.  Hope to see you back soon!

Update

Mason had a swallow study today. They gave him milky barium in a bottle, fed it to him while xraying. They were making sure no formula was getting into his airway. The test was normal! 

His reflux is getting better with the nutramigen and thickener. 

The next concern is the fast breathing. We go back to dr Friday for this. 

God works miracles with our baby! Our faith has been made stronger! We believe that he will be healed!

My Harper...

You see, there was once a lady named Harper. Her real name was Margaret Harper, but I called her Harper for short. When I was a little girl, Harper lived down the street from me in Port Neches. She lived in a pink house. I loved Harper very much. I stayed with her often. I was very sad when we moved away. However, we stayed in touch through the years the old fashioned way, letter writing. She kept up with me all through the years. The thing that makes me the most sad is that Stephen never got to meet my Harper. She was like a grandma to me. Sadly a few years ago Harper passed away. I didn't know about it until months later. It was then that I knew if I ever had a baby girl I would name her Harper. When we found out we were having a boy, I begged Stephen to let me name him Harper. He and my friends and family said no! It's a girl's name. So if we are ever blessed with a girl, you already know her name! :)

Fast forward to last night. I got a card from Leonard, her husband. He wrote the sweetest note to Mason. It brought me to tears. It means more to me than gold. I will always treasure it! 
Sorry it's upside down. :)

Update

Mason has acid reflux. He has also been congested. His belly has lots of air. And, he's breathing fast. His doctor is concerned. So he had a chest xray. Thankfully it was normal. He is also going to have a swallow study done Tuesday. 

She changed his formula as well. We now use nutramigen. Also, we have to mix in gelmix to thicken his formula so it will stay down easier. He is also on zantac three times a day. 

We pray he can get some relief soon!

My insight on mommyhood

1. Hot coffee, what's that??? 

2. Shaved legs? That's a luxury!

3. What schedule? This boy is going to eat when he wants to eat!!! :)

4. Sleeping in----oh I remember the days!

5. You want Mason to poop? Just put him in the carseat all nicely dressed and buckle him in. Watch the magic happen!

6. He is an excellent sleeper. During the day. 

7. We've been known to go through 4 diapers. (Just in one changing)

8. Those little snaps on pajamas are nearly impossible to match up. (Especially at 1am)

9. When your baby is sick, you will do whatever it takes to make them better. Even if it's something you said you would never do. For example---

10. We love this little boy more than we ever thought we could love a human!!! He completes our family in ways we never knew possible! He is the peanut to our butter. 
We love you Mason Parker Wright!!
