A week of goodness

Wow! What a week! Things are really starting to take shape in our house.

Brielle's reflux is so much better! It's almost like she's a completely different baby. No more random puking! YAY! She still fusses a bit from gas but it's not that bad at all. Not enough to complain about that's for sure.

Bri is also eating between 3 to 4 ounces at a time! I think if she keeps it up she'll be adding a third chin. I can't complain though. When she eats the 4 ounces before bed she sleeps pretty darn close to 6 hours. We're very lucky parents! I know there are a few people out there that are slightly jealous of us. LOL!

The most exciting development this week is probably minor to others. I think you have to be a parent to truly appreciate what I'm about to say. Brielle slept in her bassinet last night! YAY! She's been sleeping in her swing since coming home from the hospital. Yesterday she took 2 naps on her back and then last night was able to sleep on her back. I think now that we have the reflux under control is doesn't mind being on her back so much. If she keeps it up I'll be able to take the swing out of our bedroom and gain a little floor space!

Now that things are starting to fall into place a little more we're going to get moving on getting Brielle's room done. We're hoping to get it finished within the next two weeks or less! That means she'll be able to move into her own space and sleep in her crib. YAY! Not to mention I'll FINALLY be able to share pictures of her room with everyone. It's going to be so stinking cute! I cannot wait!

The doctor agrees

Today Brielle went to the doctor to try to get answers about all the puking. The doctor we saw agreed that it seems like she has reflux.

We talked about options and treatment. We decided that we'll try medication first. If for some reason that doesn't help we have the option of doing testing. I'm not too keen on doing the testing. It's uncomfortable for babies going through it. I'm not sure that the "problem" is bad enough to put her through that.

So we're hoping the medication works. Too bad the medication doesn't taste good. Brielle makes the most horrible face when she takes it. Poor pumpkin.

Be on the lookout for pictures coming soon!
