Nearly half a million babies (1 in 10) are born premature in the US each year which is higher than that of most other developed nations. This is the journeys of our first born son, Finnegan, who was born 14 weeks early and weighed only 1 pound 15 ounces at birth. Of our daugher, Korrigan, who was born a healthy 7 pounds, 7 ounces at 37 weeks. And of our second son, MacKeegan, who was also born at 37 weeks at a whopping 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Our continued adventures reminds us daily how good God is.

Probiotics seem to work

I think probiotics might have been the answer for Finn. He has been off Miralax for over a week and he is pooping consistently at least two times a day. He isn't uncomfortable and seems to be able to go easily. He still gets prune juice twice a day, but I don't have a problem with that. He only gets Gripe Water at bedtime, but I don't think he even needs that (for his gas). I barely have to give him Tylenol any more either. I hope it is the probiotics! Thanks for the suggestion, Nicki.

We had to move Finn's carseat straps up a notch. He is getting so big! I can't believe how fast he is growing now...he even has the beginnings of little fat rolls. I think he is chunky, but probably not to other "normal" baby standards. Oh, well...I still love it!

We have kind of a quiet week this week. Finn's bumbo seat arrived yesterday, so I'm looking forward to start putting him in it. What a big boy!

Fat rolls are fun :-) I thought his face was a lot rounder the last time I saw him. He is working on his cheeks for sure!

Just ran across your blog, thanks to your mention of probiotics. I'm so glad they're working for your son, hooray! I cannot say enough good things about these beneficial bacteria, they can be truly miraculous for repairing digestive and immune health. We are just starting to learn more about the role of microflora (the natural organisms in our digestive systems) in our health. This microflora environment is a delicate balance and can be upset by things like antibiotics, diet, and other factors. Best of luck in your boy's continued good health!
