Well, things are going a little better! Maddyn is growing quite a bit. She's getting chubby and we love it. Chubby babies are so cute!! Her eyes are already brown, and she's getting stronger and stronger. She already has full neck support and lifts her head well!
The breastfeeding has been the biggest challenge. We are still exclusively breastfeeding (My goal is 8 weeks, before we introduce formula- so we are trying our best!). There is nothing exciting about waking a sleeping baby- which you have to do when you BF, and that is hard. Especially every 3 hours. But we are now on a feed on demand schedule, so it's getting a little easier. It has been a hard battle- but one that I know is so worth it! Remind me to tell her that in about 10 years ;)
Unfortunately though, we did have a scare this last week. Maddyn has been very sick. She's been wheezing and choking a ton. She's been having horrible gas pains, and then this week, she has projectile vomiting. She started turning a blue-ish color from choking and the severe volatile puking, so we had to go to the doctor. They have now diagnosed her with GERD / Acid Reflux. They have her on medication for it- and she'll be on it a minimum of 6 months to see if it can help. We are so happy the doctors were able to do something, and she already seems to be doing better. It was so very scary, but it sounds like this is quite common in infants- so we're glad it is under control! Hopefully now we can all get a little more sleep- lol :)
We just got the birth announcements in the mail, so I'm working on getting those put together. I'll be sending soon!
Lastly, I've posted a few more pictures on our Shutterfly Collection. So there are now a total of 3 albums up there! Please click on this link: Wags Family Shutterfly Albums to see all the photos!!
Let me know if you have any problems.
Thanks to all of you who have sent gifts, cards, flowers, plants, and dinners!! Its been so very welcome- especially in light of the chaos. We appreciate it and are so grateful!!
