July 4th- Shayna spend the whole day screaming. Nothing would make her happy. This whole week she has had 'random nasty poos!' one day she would not poop at all. And the next day she would poop 8x! Her pooh color went between runny green and normal. That is usually a sign of infection... It was really bad (at its peak), but it was a Sunday, and she is going in tomorrow so... I waited.
July 5th-
We just got back from the dr... She is now 8lbs 3oz (45%) and 20 1/2 inches (60%)!
The doc and I talked about how Shea has been, then the doc looked her over, she also noticed that Shea's voice is getting raspy ...
My poor baby has acid reflux! And is lactose intolerant :(
She is going to be put on a trail diet for a week, and then we will call the doc back and tell her how it goes. Hopefully this will work, and there isn't anything else wrong! Diet is, soy formula, and for the breast feeding... no dairy for me! No cheese, no milk, ...*gasp * ... no cream puff at the fair or ice cream!
For the acid reflux, she has medicine to take, once in the morning and once at night time. For her comfort she should sleep on an incline, the doc even said she could sleep in her car seat. She actually said it would be best because it is the proper angle and safe. Just put her in her car seat and then put the car seat in the crib.
Shayna's cord is mostly healed and looking good, we can even give her a bath now!
We made the rest of her appointments, up to a year and scheduled Kyla’s so they are the same time. Then we went to the pharmacy to get her medicine.
3:00- Gave Shayna her medicine and her first soy bottle.
3:28- First smile!!!!! She woke up from her very short nap and looked up at me and smiled!!!! I know it was probably just gas, but still she is happy!!! ...opps back to night nights now I guess: D
3:40- Hurray!!! Completely different baby!!! She is looking at me and cooing and happy!!!!! JOY!!!! Good for you Shayna!!!!
4:37- She has always been my perfectly beautiful lil girl, but she is sleeping now... and I just glanced over...her face isn't red anymore!!!! she has beautiful 'snow white' skin :) Her whole body is lightening up now, and she looks so relaxed :))
