Why did we choose to live here?

What a day--
Alexander was up last pm from 9pm until about 1:30 this AM screaming. We could only get him calm for short periods of time. Eric was wonderful--I got a nap from about midnight until 1:30am. I found him asleep on the floor of Alexander's bedroom with the baby on his chest, both baby and daddy fast asleep. After he screamed and screamed even after eating, changing, rocking, etc we both were convinced it was his stomach. I still called the after hours line for the doctor to be sure. She suggested we be seen in the Children's ER since he cried for so long, not being able to be consoled. I lauged. I thought--yeah, maybe if we do this ALL night, but not just yet. So, we made a doctor's appt first thing this AM.
However, before we called in to the doctor this AM, I went to wash the overnight bottles before he would be ready for another one when I discovered we had NO water! I instantly called the town of Holly Springs just for this kind little lady on the other end to tell me we had a water main break just in OUR n'hood and would be without water. I freaked. How was I going to wash these bottles, much less fix more! So, up Eric went to Walmart and bought boat loads of bottled and jugs of water. He is our hero. :-) We got water back about mid afternoon, but were nicely told my engineers of Holly Springs that we were not to use the water except for flushing toilets. no showers, washing dishes, clothes, drinking, etc until they got back bacteria tests on the water. Great--why did we choose to live here again!?
Anyway--update on Alexander. He now weighs 9 lbs, 8 oz. He is being treated for acid reflux. We have medicine that we give him twice a day and will do this for a few days to see if we see any difference. We also went out and purchased a wedge to elevate the head of his crib matress 30 degrees, so he is never flat when he sleeps. We really hope this helps. If not, we will be changing his formula again....but in the meantime, you will find mommy & daddy with Alexander on his tummy, on our chests.....the only place he is happy when he is hurting. Keep us in your prayers.

Will update again soon.
