Update on Hunter
Things are finally starting to slow down a bit around our house. We are so thankful for this considering the scare we had last weekend. I changed Hunter's diaper and there was some blood in it. Of course being a new mommy I freaked out and we ended up taking him to the ER. The doctor there switched poor little man's formula yet again to a hard-to-find and much more expensive type. The formula switch ended up not being the best thing for Hunter's belly. He was eating 4 oz every 2 hours and feeling very hungry. We did a follow up with our pediatrician that Monday and learned that the blood was most likely from a diaper rash abrasion. Thank the Lord!!! I was completely stressed out, between feeling awful for Hunter's tummy and the extreme cost of the new formula. It was a sigh of relief for us when the doc told us him tummy would be fine and we could slowly switch him back to the previous formula. Hunter is doing much better, while on the yucky formula he was so fussy that Dustin and I got our first taste of what it's like to stay up all night long with a very unhappy baby. Now that we have switched back he's much happier and feeling a lot better, which in turn makes mommy and daddy feel a lot better too! 
While at the doctor last week we found out that our little guy has gone through quite the growth spurt. He measured 21 inches long (a two inch increase) and is now weighing in at a whopping 9lbs 9oz! He's grown so much! Here are few pictures of our growing boy.
