Success!

Just a small update on Landon:
Yesterday I took him to the pediatrician to see if I could get something for his colic. He already had been better yesterday, so it must of been something about Tuesday...I dont know why he was so gassy that day. I took him in to see if there was something the doctor might want to prescribe him. Well, the doctor didnt feel the need to but told me some over the counter names for his gas. It was the same stuff my sister told me about the day before but the good thing was he told me how often he can take it (if needed). He checked his ears- NO infections! yay! ....and he listened to his heart for a little while and thinks that it is now regulated. He told me he didnt hear any skipped beats, so that was really good news. The cardiologist will have to verify this for us when we take him in soon but for now I am going to trust the good news and hope that the Doctor's assessment is right. He encouraged me to try to stop sleeping with him. I guess its better for me to break the habit now. He was saying it will be more uncomfortable trying to break the habit later...so he tried to tell me how to get him used to sleeping on his own. His measurements at the Doctor yesterday were 11 lb.s 4 oz. and 21.25 inches. The length that they measure has always been shorter than what they measured at the hospital, but Im not worried.
Shortly after I brought him home I tried to make sure he was dry, fed, and it seemed like he would need a nap soon....Perfect time to try! Only about 1 hour or so after we were home he put himself to sleep in his basket. He didnt want to at first...he wanted me to just hold him, but I knew I at least needed to try. It only took me 1 time of taking him out of his basket and giving him love and then setting him back in! The next time he cried a little and the next thing I know it the crying stopped. I went and checked on him and there he was sleeping away! He took a good 45 to 50 minute nap, which was great because I was actually able to get my butt off the couch and make myself useful around the house for a little bit.
My mom was very nice to buy us his gas medicine last night so we wouldnt have to go back out to the store. He had a little bit of that and we didnt deal with any colic. I allowed him to have 2 little cry sessions when I figured he would need to sleep soon (before we would go to sleep for the night) and then fed him. Although he didnt fall asleep til around 1:15 am...this was more successful than the night before. I am still having him sleep with me at night, until I can get him more practice at sleeping on his own. He slept through the whole night last night! I only had to get up a couple times to feed him and change him, even at those times though he didnt get real fussy and then fell right back to sleep.
So, all in all, I had to right a blog about our good night last night! Thanks for all of your prayers regarding his heart and colic.
