To Everything, Turn, Turn, Turn

Ok, so a few nights ago, Jamie rolled from her tummy to her back. She isn't supposed to be able to do that until she is around 4 months old so we thought it might have been an "accident" on her part. Like..."oops, I rolled over. I didn't mean to do that!" Well, last night, she did it 3 times in a row. She would have done more, but we got the video camera out which of course made her stop in her tracks. So know we have the camera on the ready every tummy time. As soon as she does it again, I'll try to get some video up.

Doctors, Doctors, everywhere

Tis the season to see your doctor! I had my 6 week check up and I'm all good. yay! Today we had Jamie's follow up appointment for her reflux and she is doing great! she weighs 11 lbs and is doing much better since she started the Zantac. I can start feeding her on both sides again because now I'm making what she needs, not too much like before. . Hope you all have a happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!!! - Update

We hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Below are some more pictures from our 1st Christmas with Jamie.

It sure ain't 2% milk....

So I took Jamie to the doctor on Friday to diagnose if she had Acid Reflux or not. Based on her symptoms, we are pretty sure that is what she has and the doc put her on Zantac. It seems to be helping her feel better. She has been a VERY happy baby all weekend since we started the medicine. To make sure that all of that spitting up wasn't making her lose weight, they weighed her.... um, yea.... she weighed 10 lbs.... she was 8 lb 8 oz just 12 days before. ie, she has gained more than double what they usually see. The doc asked if I ever pumped and I said yes, occasionally. She asked how much and I told her I only got about 2 oz from each side.... Little did I know, Jamie is only supposed to get 2 oz at each feeding!! So we are down to nursing just one side at each feeding and pumping the other because eventually, she will need the full deal.

Once we got her dressed, she was in a good mood and Daryl got this picture of her.

Later on, we took some pictures of Jamie in her Christmas Outfit. Merry Christmas!!

It's what's on the inside that counts...

This was the only thing that would stop Jamie from crying tonight...

Silent Night??? Yea right!

Jamie had her first acting debut last night. She was baby Jesus at my mom-in-law's church. We were very impressed with her in that she sat through the first half of the event without crying. There was an orchestra and a choir and she slept right through it. At the end is when she went on and during that part she did great too (there was music playing) as soon as the music stopped and the preacher started talking....WAAAAAAAAAAAA. It was pretty funny. She went into total hysterics then the music started again....ZZZZzzzzzzz. Here we are before she had to go back stage and get her "Jesus Outfit" on... i.e. a white onsie and a cloth diaper (don't worry, there were pampers underneath!) Gloria bought her this outfit for Christmas. I think it is adorable on her. It has a little red beret that goes with it, but it was mega hot in there so we left the hat off.

This too shall pass....

Poor Jamie.... she is our little gas machine. I'm eating bland and we burp her all the time, but her stomach is constantly rumbling. Last night, it was bad in that it wasn't coming out and she had horrible gas cramps. I felt so bad for her. Daryl burped her for about an hour and she finally calmed down enough to go to sleep. She slept from 10:00 - 3:45 when I woke her up to nurse... she did one side and then passed out until 6:40. Then she did the other side. She didn't start feeling better until around 10:00 today. I felt so bad for her. We've tried the Mylicon (sp?) drops, the leg exercises where you pump their legs back and forth, belly massage... nothing seems to help... any advice? . In the mean time, more pictures!

So Jamie, are you milk drunk??

Say WHAT???

who am I kidding...yea, I'm milk drunk.

and just a cute picture of Jamie with daddy.

Happy 2 Week Birthday!

Jamie is now 2 weeks old! She lost her cord last night so now she has a perfect little inny belly button. So cute! Here are some more pics of our baby girl.

Here she is sleeping like a champ.... in our bed nonetheless...

This was a very sheety morning.... I'm nursing Jamie this morning at 6:00 in our bed since Daryl has already left for work... I start feeling a warmth come over me... I wish I could say it was love... but no, it was pee from a leaky diaper.... so I change my clothes, her clothes and the bed sheets. We resume nursing and I fall asleep... and she eats to much. Next I'm awaken to her spitting up into my silk pjs.... Silk is non-absorbent so As I sit up, milk runs down and all over the bed... I change the sheets again. I go to change her and I take off her diaper to change it, and she proceeds to pee everywhere... I change her changing pad cover and clothes again. So by 7:30, we have gone through 2 sets of sheets, 2 sets of PJs for me and 2 sets of PJs for her (she pees all over the place in between the old and new diaper again at 10:00...but I'm awake then so who cares.... The plus side.... she slept from 9:30 to 2:00!!!! and then from 2:00 to 6:00!!! I got TONS of sleep so it was all good. I was laughing the whole time because it was just plan funny. As I told one of my girlfriends, a day with a poopy diaper is better than any day without one. I love my Jamie!!!! :-)

Today was Jamie's 2 Weeks check up with her doctor. She has GROWN!!! She is now 22 inches long and 8lbs 8 oz! At discharge from the hospital, she was 19 inches long and 7 lb 9 oz. My milk rocks! ha-ha. The doc said everything looks good and she goes back in 1.5 months and get (dun dun dunnnnn) her shots....ewwww.... that will NOT be fun for either of us.
