Matching Girls

Ellie and Kailey in their matching shirts
I think I'm too little for this, mom...

Ellie couldn't wait to have matching outfits when she found out she was getting a sister. These are the only things we could find that would fit both of them while Kailey is still a newborn. They already have some stuff for fall and winter, but she is still too little for them at the moment.

Kailey is starting to fatten up a bit. She wants to eat constantly, so I would think she'd grow sometime. I think we are going to have a lot of trouble with reflux with her as well. Ellie had trouble. She would vomit after each and every feeding, all over the place. I was bathing that girl constantly. Yet she was always happy and gaining weight (I never figured out how!) Kailey, on the other hand, has not thrown up once. She just gags, gasps, chokes and turns blue. I really hate that, because sometimes it is fairly silent until I hear her take a big breath in, and I pick her up. So neither of us has slept much the last few nights. I hold her upright after all her feedings, but the minute I lay her down, she's gasping and gagging. I was hoping to make it to her next well baby check to have her seen, but I just don't know. She is fussy when it happens too, like it hurts her. I take care of babies like this all the time, but it is easier in the hospital. I can slap them on a monitor and know exactly what they are doing, and watch them after feedings, and crank their beds upright. Its a whole different story at home. It's making for one tired mommy. Ellie however, has the perfect solution. She just stuffs the pacifier in her mouth at the first sign of a wimper. I know I hate pacifiers and I said my babies wouldn't be using them. However, I AM NOT going to be the pacifier, so thats that.
