Owen's button was over a year old and since he has changed so much, I thought it was time to create a new button for him. The code is on the right sidebar if you want to update to the new "big boy" button.
Now for a quick update, cause I need to get back to moving. Owen is still on the blended diet and is doing well. I will weigh him tomorrow and am anxious to see if he's maintained his weight gain. We've had several pukes, but nothing like it was with the formula. I contacted our GI nurse pracitioner over two weeks ago and emailed her a copy of Owen's blended foods diary. I have called 5 times since then, with no return call. It's great to know that we have such a supportive GI team. Ahem.I did speak with Owen's nutrtionist from Stanford and she is on board. Anything to keep his puking to a minimum. The only thing she really told me is that he needs 1300 cals and at least 27 oz of fluids a day. I'm totally guessing on fats, vitamins, calcium and such.
Now...If only I would eat what I feed Owen. Instead, I ate a chocolate cream cheese croissant from Paradise Bakery for breakfast today, which I'm pretty sure was 1300 calories all by itself!

I know one more thing to add to your plate may be overwhelming, but there are websites that will tell you calories, fat, fiber, etc. of almost every food. The one I like the most is found at www.sparkpeople.com Its free, I do think you have to be a member, it gets a bit obnoxious having to input everything sometimes, but I found it helpful as I was counting my own calories and wanted to see what my recipes looked like nutritionally.
I'm so happy that the move is almost done, you deserve to lock yourself in the bathroom with a nice hot relaxing bubblebath!!

I'd love to see what Owen's blended food diet consists of. Bree has severe volume issues and we tend to struggle a bit with lots of spitting up and throw ups...ugh. (I know you can relate!)
GI at PCH really aren't my favorite people either. We got our own dietitian that we see for Bree...imagine how happy they were when I told them that. Ha!
LOVE the new button! I am glad the move is going well!!!!!
Love, Hugs and Prayers-

Moving is the worst...hope you'll be all done soon. You need a chance to relax!!!!
Your are moving, that = STRESS (buring cals), that = eating all the cheese croissants you want!
I am glad the blended foods are working better! See you soon!
