Adeline is now nine weeks old. Things have been crazy the past few weeks, but more about that later. Our little Addie is growing like a weed at her last apt she weighed in at nine pounds. According to the ped she is exceeding all her milestones. She is quite good at lying on her tummy and holding her head up! Her sleep is getting better and she is doing close to seven hours each night. She is drinking 3 ounces every 3 hours and sometimes asking for an extra ounce here and there. She is also smiling and cooing which just melts your heart!
Now on to the reasons for my delay in posting. Adeline had colic from about 3 weeks until 8 weeks. The colic was extended periods of crying usually in late day early evening. Nothing would soothe her tummy. However, we have seen great improvement with nutramagen (hypoallergenic formula), gripe water, zantac for reflux, and Dr. Brown's bottles. Also, after her periods of colic she refused to sleep lying down in a bassinette..well she still has that problem, but we are just relieved she is sleeping better. Also, I was having recurring symptoms of my cardiomyopathy!Poor Gabriel has been sick on off since he started preschool/daycare. And this past week he brought home a stomach bug which landed me in the ER on Tuesday because we were concerned it could jump start my cardiomyopathy since one causes can be virus. Luckily with some nausau meds I was fine and no heart issues. And how could I forget Gabriel is still adjusting to his little sister. He has had a really hard time even though we know he loves her. Things seem to be calming down a bit. I am looking forward to some fun fall festivities with my wonderful family!
