Last week I took her to the doctor because she’s been spitting up and vomiting a lot. The doctor said she has GERD (gastr-esophogeal reflux disorder) Basically the little flap on her esophagus hasn’t developed enough and doesn’t close properly when she eats so the milk comes back up if she eats too much. It’s something that will resolve on its own, but we need to make sure she doesn’t get dehydrated. She doesn’t'-that’s for sure! She eats, pees and poop on schedule! She’s up to 7 pounds 5 ounces-she gained a pound in two weeks! That’s pretty good although she’s still a little peanut. She sleeps well every other day. One night she’ll stay up really late, then she gets a good 5 hour stretch of sleep, and then will be up every 2 hours. So today is her awake day and it’s hard to get anything done. Tomorrow she’ll sleep most of the day. She wants to be held. I did find that she likes white noise and it calms her when she’s crying-especially the vacuum. She will nap in her swing from time to time, but not for very long. It’s amazing though how quickly she’ll stop crying when I pick her up and feed her. She’s a girl who knows what she wants! She’s a little cutie pie and we love her so much!

She looks like a little Hernandez! What a cutie! Cherish these days, even if they are hard. Babies are newborns for SUCH a short time. Take lots of pictures! Keep posting!!!!
She is SO adorable! Lucas also likes white noise. He loved the hair dryer. We used to call it HD Therapy! :)
