Getting Frustrated

Sammie's been fussy again and very spit up-y. I haven't eaten dairy in 3 weeks and no eggs since Friday. I called the pedi, but since eggs will stay in my system for 1 week, we will go in this Friday to get checked. We haven't seen any blood in her diaper, so the doctor is going to do a swab test on Friday to double check. They are able to check for microscopic traces of blood. I really think it's either the dairy or eggs- probably eggs and I think she just has a bad case of acid reflux. The pedi says that acid reflux manifests in babies around 4 months. I hope she will ok giving us an rx for Prevacid, but she said she doesn't think Sammie should take it unless she is always fussy/uncomfortable between feedings. The problem is Sammie is such a happy baby, she's usually cheery until something hurts, fusses as it passes, then starts being cheery again. She spit up so much today! I think we went through 3 or 4 burp cloths. Tonight before bed, she really threw up on me! It smelled so bad that I almost lost it. Bleh! Well, we'll see how she feels during the week. Staying positive for our Lil' Angel.


We have been feeding Sammie a bottle before bed. She sleeps through the night and it gives her some special Daddy-time. Then we wrap her up and it's Mommy's turn to feed her for a few minutes. This morning when I heard her talking once she was awake, I saw she had broken out of her wrap. It was too funny. When I went in to get her, she was so giggly hee hee.....
There's her arm that she broke out!

Had to get out the house to take her mind off things. It worked. She's playing :)
