I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since our little miracle was born. So much has changed already, in such a short amount of time. She was NOT a happy baby at all (has reflux), which of course made me not so happy (well, not that I wasn't happy ,but you know what I mean). All she did was cry and want to be held. I literally held all ALL.DAY.LONG...or carried her in the carrier. I kind of already forgot about that part though...lol...but now, she is a different baby. She is such a happy, giggly, cooing, lovable little baby. I wake up and look forward to seeing that little perfect face. I look into her eyes and just can't believe we made her...ha...I don't know the purpose of this post but I just felt the need to share my thoughts.
What is even more fascinating is that I was dead set against having a third..always...before we had her and said it again after we had her...but now i find my mind wandering...thinking thoughts of a third...lol (which is going to be next to impossible anyway since we did 3 failed rounds of IVF and while on break to start our 4th round, we got pregnant on our own...and we were told we would never be able to concieve again on our own)...
Re: approaching the 3 month mark
im sorry you baby is miserable...that is how i described mine up until she was 6 weeks. the ped put her on pepcid...we noticed a difference within 2 days...if you don't see any difference and she is still screaming through feedings, id call. they may switch her meds or up her dose (needs to be changed with weight gain). My daughter sounds similar to yours...screamed through all feedings, wouldn't be put down, crying out of pain...it is heartbreaking. I hope you can find something that will help her. i dont think my daughter outgrew it yet..i missed a dose the other night by accident and i could tell immediately she was showing symptoms again...amazing how one dose makes a difference....note to self: don't forget to give it to her
my ped did say they will and usually outgrow it before around 8 months...ofcourse some deal with it longer though
Make a pregnancy ticker
I always marvel at the fact that I made my girls. I can't believe that only just over 2 months ago she was inside me...blows my mind every time I think of it!
We always wanted 3 at the very minimum. Now I am starting to feel really settled at 2. My body does not handle pregnancy well. I am in physio again trying to get healed. And have a hard time physically keeping up to the girls. It was even worse after the second so I don't think it would be wise to have a third.
