I'm Slacking...

I know it. We are doing all right here though. I need to take a few more pics and get them posted. I finally took Kailey to the doctor last week for her reflux. She got some zantac, which has helped her quite a bit. She still has trouble with choking and gagging, but not near so much, and she has been less fussy too. But she HATES the medicine. I tell you, I've drugged hundreds if not thousands of, lets say, reluctant children. And one way or the other, I am the winner. Not with this kid. Apparently she was studying while I was pregnant on how not to take medicine. She's good too. I've used all my tricks, and still we've ended up a sticky mess several times. But we're making it through. I'm just not used to this. Ellie asks for her medicine constantly and even can tell you the specific dose ("my mommy fills it to the 5..") Little druggie. Some days I feel like her dealer :)
Kailey is waking 2 times a night most nights to eat. Not bad, but Ellie began sleeping through the night about now. She takes awhile to get back to sleep, since she needs to be upright for quite a while after feedings. And no naps for me during the day either, since big sister won't allow such things. But really, sleep is overrated, right??

ok my friend, bc i love you, im telling it to you straight. zantac is a joke. ask for the oral dissolve prevacid, feed her, put her in a boucy seat and be done. just say no to the zantac.
