Emma's 1 Month Stats

Her one month appt. is off a bit since we had to take her in for a weight check.  So, it's really a 6 week appt.  We will be on track for month 2. 
I took Emma to the Dr. tonight not only for her well visit, but to try and figure out why she is so uncomfortable.  I think it's a combo of reflux and lactose intolerance maybe.  We tried a lactose sensitive formula with her and had her on Axid for the reflux, but she's still fussy and crying pretty much all day and night.  You can just tell that she is uncomfortable and it's breaking our hearts.  It's horrible to see your child in pain and not know what to do about it.  You do all the basics (feed, diaper, burp, rock, etc.) and it's just not enough.  Now she's taking Zantac and the Dr. is having us try soy formula.....please cross your fingers that this "cocktail" works!!!
Here are her stats:
Height-  21 Inches (25th percentile)
Weight- 9lbs 14oz (50th percentile)
Head- 14 3/4 inches (50th percentile)

I was looking back at Macie's one month stats and she weighed 11lbs at one month!!!  We were giving her rice cereal in her bottle for her reflux...boy was it working.  We can't give Emma the rice cereal since she's having a bit of trouble with the train leaving the station, if ya know what I mean.....poor thing!!!

She is getting so big so fast!!! Amazing isn't it?

Keeping my fingers crossed that the new cocktail works for her and she feels better and mommy and daddy can get rest. Maybe daddy won't try to feed Macie dog food again that way :).
