Been a long week!! Most of this post is for my benefit, so I will remember everything. H is 5 weeks old today and yesterday we took her to the dr for the fourth time! We have changed her formula four times and she is on now on Nutramigen, which costs an arm and a leg!!
She is taking zantac for spitting up, a probiotic to help digest her food, and now a medicine for stomach cramping.Our poor baby hasnt gained weight in the past week, her pooping is out of control, and as a result her bottom is fire engine red. Praying for some relief for Harper and for us. Crying all day is exhausting for everyone. Her amile is too precious and we are ready to see it more!! She still weighs 10lbs 5 oz and should be taking between 24-25 oz of formula a day. I don't think we are there. I fix bottles all the time trying to settle her crying. We are definitely not on a good schedule during the day. But...praise the Lord she does well at night. I think her screaming wears her out because she normally sleeps from 8-7 and gets up twice. She slept last night from 8-3 and I woke her up because I was worried. If her pooping isn't under control by Monday, back to the doctor we will go.
In other news...Maddie came and go us at 4 this morning running 101.5 fever.So she is home and will be going to tbe doctor. Today is also Turner's family fun day. He has been looking forward to this for weeks! Mimi and Boo Boo are coming to watch the sick and crying ones so that I can spend some quality time with our little man. Megs stayed home with A today, so hopefully she doesn't catch anything.
The other picture is of the kids doing gel art earlier this week. That moment was precious. M and T doing what they love, and both littles were content and watching. Moments like that are rare these days....but I know we will get there again! !
