Things with 2 babies

Sorry I haven't updated the page in awhile- things have been crazy. Kailani has not been easy these past 4 weeks- doctors think she has reflux, possible colic, and some constipation. In a nutshell, I breastfed for a week then we switched her to formula... then the docs thought she had reflux, so they switched her formula again- that didn't totally work, so they added Zantac to the new formula. Thursday night, Kailani had a fever of 100.8 so we called the pediatrician and they told us to go to the hospital- they admitted her and kept her overnight for observation. They did some Xrays and tests and said she has reflux but her stomach and chest looked fine. She ended up having a viral infection and is doing well now. They discharged us Friday and told us she was constipated and we had to switch back to normal formula again and stay on the Zantac... so we have switched her formula 3 times in 4 weeks (doctor orders) and that is probably causing her constipation.... so we are sticking with this formula for at least a week or two and we'll see how she does. I'm not sure that she has colic... our pediatrician doesn't think so, but the attending physician at the hospital said she might. She screams bloody murder sometimes throughout the day, but is usually mild mannered and lays awake for long periods of time just staring around and being content.... i think her screaming fits are related to constipation, but we'll see if she gets better.

Here is our pretty girl in her little tutu

She loves hearing Bode's voice

Just precious



Last weekend we were at my parents' house and Michael, my Mom & Dad took Bode and Charlie fishing at Marsh Creek- the boys had a blast and caught lots of small finish!




Charlie's fish!

Kailani's 1 month appointment is coming up so I will let everyone know her stats but at her last appointment for her checkup she weighed 9 lbs 9oz & they are happy with that!
