3 weeks already!!


I can't believe it has been 3 weeks!! Brynlee has been such a good baby and she is growing so fast it feels like!! Last week at her 2 week check up she was already back up to birth weight ( From being born at 8 lbs. 6 oz down to 8 lbs) she actually exceeded her birth weight to 8lbs. 12 oz. I don't feel her getting heavier though, just longer, she has such a skinny body she seems so long at times! Although she is doing very well she is suffering from some acid reflux issues. (And a bum rash already! That we had to get a prescription for as nothing was working... have I mentioned I LOVE cloth diapers and HATE disposables!!! As soon as this rash goes away we will be right on to cloth even if I have to wash them everyday because she goes through them like crazy!) So her doctor wanted to put her on Zantac for a few weeks (if that doesn't work then Prilosec... the 2 meds I took for wicked heartburn during pregnancy...) But I really REALLY did not want to put her on medication so I am trying other things, the main one being cutting out certain foods to see if that helps her tummy. Mainly all dairy (although I do not drink milk (only rice milk), only have ice cream or yogurt on occasion so really I am just cutting out cheese.) I have been spit up on and thrown up on so much lately, I think more so the 2 days following my ice cream cookie sandwich binge 2 nights nights in a row. Since really watching dairy she seems to be a lot better and has not thrown up in a few days... thank goodness!!
Brynlee is a happy baby, she is very alert and strong. She seems to be getting on some sort of schedule as I have noticed she sleeps and eats about the same times everyday. She sleeps well at night, she eats around 10:30ish and then again around 3 and then around 6:30ish. Some days fluctuate a little but for the most part she is pretty consistent for a 3 week old! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful addition to our family!!

So cute! Good luck with everything and hope that the staying off dairy works for her. Hope all is well with everyone else.
