Updates on my Lil Fella Brody

Well, here it has been since June 7th since my last post. Where did the time go? Well, let me just say that last week was a tough one for the Davis household. Let me explain....
Brody in his infinite wisdom was starting to grow and be a happy little fellow. All that ended on June 14th. Poor baby.... he was starting to have nice amounts of spit up. No big deal... can handle that. Well on Monday June 18th we get little Brody circumsized. The next morning our air conditioner goes out. We stay with Granny and Papa for the evening until Wednesday. Thanks guys you are awesome oh yeah to Mom aka Dodie for caring for Bro so we could rest. Brody's spit up got worse, lets just say that he was going though clothes faster than baseball players go through balls during a game, not normal!!! So we take Brody to the doctor Tuesday evening. Doc says that it is probably acid reflux. Well by Friday Jess and I are concerned about the little Brody. I can say that Brody was projectile vomit champion and I was his target. Friday Jess calls the Pediatrician and tells him she feels that after seeing the obvious that Brody has what is called Pyloric Stenosis. She was right!!! Saturday morning we are admitted to the hospital for this. Brody gets an Ultrasound that confirms this and he has surgery Saturday evening. After a short stay till Monday evening, our little boy is back to being himself. Wheww!!!! That was alot of stuff.

Lessons learned

1. God is awesome and in control even when we cannot be.
2. I married an awesome wife
3. I have been blessed to have one tough little boy
4. The power of prayer is beyond belief
5. Family is a powerful bond that only grows stronger
6. When life gives you lemons, add a cup of sugar and water and have lemonade
7. Toot sweet and a pacifier equals to one peaceful little baby boy.
8. Never take for granted the amount of time spent with your child
9. Nursing knowledge goes out the window when it is your own child
10. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Well that is enough for now. I will post pictures on the next post.

I have gained a new respect for my wife and my sweet baby boy.

I love you guys very much,

Daddy

Hey everyone!!!!!

I'm thinking here when is my next bottle?

What part of no flashes allowed did you not get?

Well Brody,

You will soon discover that you are very articulate with sign language at such an early age.

You make me proud.

Love, Daddy

Snuggle time anyone?

There is nothing more special than to have your child look into your eyes and feel safe.

The responsibility that has been given to us by God with the birth of our baby boy is so amazing and puts many things into perspective. You always hear that life changes when you make the commitment to have a child. It is very true. I believe that you go through life and the joy of it is that there is something new to learn daily from it. Well with the birth of Brody, I have honestly learned something new daily. The pictures above are of Brody with us. I love you son.

What THEY say is TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Brody,

The title of this entry is so appropriate. Let me explain. All throughout life you will hear many people tell you many different things about how it was for them when they had those experiences. Many times I have told them "yeah ..... i hear you..... really?" Well in this instance, they were right. Before you were born, the most commonly used statement headed my way was "Rest now because when that baby gets here you will not get any sleep." What did I say in response to that..... "Oh no big deal.... i survived limited sleep in nursing school, I am sure I can handle this." Well you are more than nursing school, i mean, in nursing school i could get away with 3-4 hours of sleep, the difference is that was continuous sleep that was not interrupted. Your sleep pattern is that of a party animal. In the famous words of the Slaughter song "UP ALL NIGHT, SLEEP ALL DAY!!!!!!" I love you so much son and you are so adorable and kissable but at 3:30 in the morning you turn into Dr. Jekyl. Just kidding. Mommy and I are getting used to your sleeping patterns and you are getting better.

I love you son!!!!!

Love, Daddy
