finn finally seems to have recovered from the virus. his cough and congestion are all but gone! i am so thankful. i realized last night as i was watching him on the monitor(i promise it isn't as creepy as it sounds!), that one week prior he had been through the ringer. i wouldn't wish that experience on anyone. that said, i am so thankful we made it through without any complications.
as if that experience wasn't enough, he had his ultrasound on wednesday to rule out pyloric stenosis. i was dreading it mostly because trying to stave off a hungry infant for 3 hours is not easy, and produced a lot of tears on both our parts! of course, during the ultrasound was not much better...he was starving, the tech said she couldn't even see the pyloris because his tummy was full of gas and distended, and then we had to make matters worse and get him to drink a couple ounces of sugar water from a bottle. good times. thankfully, this too turned out to negative. in the end, my original hunch-reflux-is probably right on. nothing this mama can't handle...i have a little experience in this area thanks to his older brother!
we'll end on a happy note...finn is beginning to coo and smile more and more. he especially thinks his siblings are funny, even if they do practically smother him!
