I am adjusting to life with 4 crazies- I think...
I have yet to leave the house with all of them, and I think that can hold off for a while longer. We did drive all together, but no one got out of the car, as we were just dropping off cookies to a few friends. I have gone to a couple stores, solo, and that is fine with me!
On Wednesday night, we had a bad night. Elaina would not sleep at all! She screamed a lot and fussed and ached in pain- Mom's can tell, right?! So, after night two of this, I took her to the doctor Friday morning. Just what I thought- GERD- baby heartburn- just like Alex had. Yuck! Poor little one has a burnt esophagus already! So, her first prescription at 2 1/2 weeks old! Not fair! She is on Zantac now until it heals- and though she has continually spit it back at me, I think some is staying down. She has to be in an upright position at all times- not so easy at night time, but I have been putting her on her Boppy pillow on my side of the bed and that worked well last night. So we shall see...
On a side note: She now weighs 7 lbs 11 oz!! Yep, gained a pound and a half in about 10 days! My milk is fat! Loving that! She is still happy- and we just hope that continues. Here she is last week:
I am hoping for good nights from here on out, and I know she is too!

That is awful! I can feel your pain. Here's to a better night sleep for both of us.
Lucas had acid reflux for his first six moths. The battery operated swing was our best friend!!! My thoughts are with you!!!
