Prilosec Day 3

Day 3 of Prilosec, so far it's looking good. Day 4 dairy free, no signs of a change.

Reflux and such

So, for over 2 weeks now Amelia has been waking up hourly at night and from naps. Well, I say waking up because she is waking Brandon and I up, I'm not sure she is actually waking up. She starts by grunting and when I (or Brandon) get in there to check on her she is twisting and turning and pumping her legs like she is just in a ton of pain. Gas drops have not helped. The only thing that helps is picking her up, and by up I mean holding her upright, not cradling her. We thought maybe she had gotten use to being held, but the other night while Brandon and I were watching a movie, I was holding her the whole time and even then she got all squirmy and highly upset, so it can't be that.
After reading things online and finding a book about milk protein allergies and GERD I am convinced that Amelia has both. We have tried Zantac, with no relief. Now on to Prilosec and a dairy free diet for mommy.

I pray that she will start feeling better. While I don't like being awake the whole night, I am really worried that she is in pain, and damaging her insides. :(

last day of work!

Today I just go in to turn in my badge and such! YAY!!!

Brushing of the gums

Well in my effort to make sure that Amelia has good hygeine I bought a finger "tooth" brush and infant toothpaste and Amelia had her first brushing today!! Yay, she seemed to really like it!

Busy day

It's going to be a busy day today, so here's a pic to get me through ok.

an ear infection?

poor little Amelia has not been herself. Waking every hour at night, not sleeping well during naps, not eating well. Could it be tething or an ear infection? Guess we'll call the dr and see.

Dec 26

So, Caroline asked me if I would be interested in updating her blog daily. So, in my effort to see if I am capable, I am trying to blog on my blog everyday for the week.

Here's a pic of the snow from today!

Our first Christmas as a family! Amelia is growing quickly, sitting by herself for a few moments at a time!

8 hours!!!

I can't believe it! Amelia slept more than 8 hours, I got so worried I undid her swaddle because I knew it would wake her up!
She's really growing up!!
