Red wine, a dozen roses, steak and mashed potatoes...and a screaming baby.
Welcome to Valentine's day as a 30 year old.
I know you have probably been waiting for an update so I am happy to introduce
Halle Marie born 2-1-12 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long.
She was an easy baby for approximately the first week. I think she was too tired to fuss. Now, not so much. 5 different formulas later and we aren't much closer to figuring out what her tummy troubles are. I'm thinking silent reflux and we have a doctors appointment tomorrow.
One major benefit of already having had a child is that now I don't doubt myself as much as I did with the first one. If this doctor tells me it will pass or ignores my concerns I will probably fire him.
But he seems reasonable. All we need is a little Zantac or something to try.
The c-section went great overall, the only two problems were me vomiting through the beginning of the surgery because of vagal nerve stimulation and little Halle being in the nursery/NICU for the first 24 hours because of her difficulty breathing (which is pretty common with c-sections).
The little gal looks just like me as a baby...only cuter. But I may be a wee bit biased. She is very very sweet and we are very lucky, although it will be an adjustment for all. Holden is doing very well as a big brother.
Happy belated Valentine's Day. Hope you actually got to eat your steak and drink your 4 oz. of red wine, and most of all that you spent it with the people you love the most.

We are using Alimentum Ready Feed and Zantac. The ready feed is corn and dairy free, and apparently corn is a pretty typical irritant and is in EVERYTHING including most formula. There is some dairy-full and corn-free formula (regular Similac) and dairy-less and corn-full (Nutramagin, Alimentum powder), but this is the only one on the market without both. Does she seem congested without snot? That is my classic indicator of reflux. Good grief I know its hard so HANG IN THERE friend!
Was very excited to see the new update..I actually checked last night lol hopefully they get her tummy issuses worked out and you get your happy baby back! Congrats again!!
Congrats on the baby! Glad to hear an update :) Have a good day!
YES! Her nose is stuffy and she is constantly making choking noises or grunting. Sometimes she will spit up or become uncomfortable (I can hear her regurgitating in her throat) an hour or more after she eats. Oh, and there are the hour log crying bouts as well. Poor baby! I am so glad we are seeing the doc tomorrow.
