it's been a hard week filled with poopy accidents, crying fits, and tummy troubles.




lillian has pooped while in her car seat twice this week. not a big deal, right? wrong. the poop has leaked out and covered everything! not a fun experience! we will not be buying huggies again.
she's also decided that she likes to poop while i'm changing her...it was a disaster the first time, but i dealt pretty well with it the second time.

She's also been crying almost constantly. We took her to the doctor, and it turns out she's having some acid reflux problems. We got some medicine and she seems to be doing better...i hate giving it to her though. It's a little pill that i have to hold under her tongue until it dissolves--it's slow, and she hates it! but she gets to wash it down with water and she loves that!

i'm still having a really hard time with nursing. i was bleeding so badly last night that i decided to give her a bottle of formula. in the past, she would just throw the stuff up, but i thought that maybe with her new medicine that she would be able to handle it. she did really well at first, but then it all came up...it was really sad for me (i was seriously considering making the switch to formula full time). i'll just have to keep dealing with the pain and pray that it gets better. on the bright side, the doctor says i should only feed her for fifteen minutes a time on each side (instead of the 45 minutes- an hour that i had been doing) God bless him!

Here are a few more things i've learned about our little girl:

-She calms right down when her daddy sings to her, but my singing does nothing--pretty funny considering how bad cason's singing voice is!

-if she's laying on the couch, she'll turn to her side and start sucking on the back seat cushions. am i really that comparable to a leather sofa?

-she loves sunshine

-she likes her big girl crib better than her bassinet (we're not ready to make the permanent switch though)
