The pediatrician said we can either stick with the soy or go back to the regular formula. He thinks either one would be all right. I spoke with some other formula feeding Moms on the Baby Center boards and found out that it's probably not the soy that's messing with him unless he has a protein allergy (and that would have other symptoms which he doesn't have). I also found out that it can take up to a week for a formula change to have an effect. So, I think we'll keep on trying soy for the next few days and if nothing improves we'll switch back to regular formula.

Right now Gabriel is taking a nap. He's taken to freaking out and crying every time he poops and considering he's pooped three times already since this morning he kind of wore himself out. So I was able to shower and log on. I'm just going to let him sleep because I think he still might have a touch of that stomach bug. One of his poops was a bit more runny than usual and he wasn't happy about it at all.

Wow. Who would have ever thought that I'd be writing in my journal about baby formulas and poops? Yeah, it's kind of weird to me as well.

Anyway, this Saturday my Dad has plans to come out and see Gabriel. He already has his plane tickets and says he'll be here unless something major comes up. I really hope he does come out here and I think he will this time because he's excited to see Gabriel. I hope he makes it because I haven't seen him in years. It will be nice to see him again and introduce him to his grandson.

Microbrew
(100% dark & bitter, 33% working class, 33% genuine)

Microbrews, though obscure, are pretty tasty things, and they continually win beer contests. I, personally, have a hard time getting past the hype and the slight air of pretention that surrounds any discussion of "hoppiness," "5-star scales," and the like. But their non-working-classness notwithstanding, Microbrew is one of the best categories on this test: dignified, intelligent, rare.
Personality-wise, you have refined tastes (after all, mircobrews are usually kind of expensive), but you know how to savor what you get. Your personality isn't exactly light and bubbly, but very you're well-liked by your close circle of friends. Your sense of humor is most likely on the dark side, but that's just another way to say sophisticated, right? Just remember to act like a Pabst every once in a while, and you'll be perfect.
Cheers!!!
