More tummy woes...

Yesterday was a horrible day for Marleigh's tummy. I bet she spit up at least 30 times. I HATE reflux & I HATE feeling so helpless when my baby is uncomfortable. I put her to bed at 8:15 last night. She was up by 8:45 because her stomach hurt. We were up until 11:45. We'd burp her & try to put her to sleep only to have to burp her again 10 minutes later. Many of the burps were accompanied by spit up. She would curl up in pain and was so tired. Tonight was a repeat except we only fought it for about 2 and half hours.

We are so lucky for how well Marleigh is doing in every other aspect, but her sensitive stomach is starting to wear on us. We can't let her lay down for over an hour after eating. She spits up all the time. She's uncomfortable. She doesn't nap more than 30-45 minutes at a time, because her tummy hurts. Now we're spending 2-3 hours at night fighting it, too. When she's not hurting, she is full of smiles. She is so happy. I'm seriously tempted to call the pedi tomorrow & ask for a referral to a specialist.

On a lighter note... I have heard many stories about babies that go #2 in their bath. Let's just say that we now have a story, too. I think we'll leave it at that!

Marleigh & I attended Randi Turner's baby shower today. Randi is having a little boy & we are so excited for her & Cory. I'm sure Marleigh & Hayden (that is going to be his name) will have lots of fun together as they grow up! I know that Randi, Kiley, Shannon & I sure did!

  1. Hang in there! I'm surprised you guys haven't already been to see Dr. Zayat with her being on the Neocate. I would definitely ask for a referral. Check out my page for pics of my little man!
