Woo Hoo for Zantac & Mylocin!

I can't believe Marleigh is 3 months old today, yet she still shouldn't even be here! My original due date was April 29. It is crazy to think that little girl should still be in my tummy.

The doctor appointment was about what we expected. We are off of the diuretic & caffeine. Let's just pray that she doesn't start having any apneas being off of the caffeine. If she goes 2 weeks with no A&B's, then we can lose the monitor! We also adjusted our phenobarb dosage. Marleigh was getting 1.125ml twice a day. Now we give her 1.4ml twice a day. Dr. Williams also put Marleigh on Zantac & we got some Mylocin drops. It is insane how quickly they seem to help! Marleigh is sleeping more peacefully right now than she has slept in the last 4 or 5 days! Her attitude was better when she was awake, too!

Marc unplugged Marleigh's monitor tonight & took her on a little tour of the house. Previously she had basically just been in the living room, the bathroom, & her bedroom. Marc showed her a picture of us from our wedding & she just stared at it with a perplexed look on her face. Then we put her in front of a mirror. She studied herself for quite some time. It was so cute!

  4. I don't know if you were able to do this, but when we put Cameron on Zantac, they were able to add a grape flavor that is much easier to get the baby to take.
