sorry i havent been able to update. life is CRAZY with a baby but totally awesome! our little girl has had a rough couple weeks- lots of screaming and crying and mommy crying too. the dr suggested eliminating milk and soy from my diet so it seemed things got a little better after that but this week it got bad again. so now they realized she has reflux as well as the dairy and soy intolerance/allergy. so yesterday she started meds for the reflux and we go see a pediatric gi specialist this month to make sure there isnt anything else wrong with her intestines since her poo hasnt been ideal. and im continuing on my strict diet. seriously look in your cabinet at anything... it has milk and soy in it. but fruits, veggies, and meat are healthy so that is what we will do. and i guess i will save money since i cant go out to eat. after a year (hopefully) of breastfeeding im sure ill make myself sick on real ice cream, bread, fast food. but its worth it all for a happy healthy baby! im hoping we can really enjoy these last few weeks of me being off without too many tears :)
i need to upload our pics and post one of her later. she now weighs 9lbs 11 oz which is great that she is gaining even with all the health issues. the dr was very pleased and so am i! my boobies work!
although its been a rough few weeks, they have definitely been the best of my life! 3 new years ago we started trying to start our family. and now shes here! im so overfilled with happiness and love. i still cant believe my little blessing is really here :)
Dana, she is adorable! I'm sorry to hear that the first few weeks were rough on you guys, but I'm sure you will get everything under control. I can't believe it's already been a month since you had Hazel! Time sure flies by. I love that video from Oprah, I remember seeing it being, but I'm facinated by it. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good to get a status update from you! And some pictures of your sweet little Hazel! Xoxo
