Things have been so crazy around here! I finally feel like I am getting a handle on life again! Shelby has been keeping us on our toes- after we brought her home from the hospital she was really fussy and cried a lot! Acid Reflux runs in my family so that is what the doctor was treating her for- after a few weeks of treating her for this she still wasn't much better- and Jon's mom called and let me know that 3 of her kids were allergic to her
breast milk. I had already been put on a strict diet of no dairy and nothing with citric acid in it (which if you notice- it is in a lot of things!) so like no citrus fruit, no fruit juices, nothing with tomato-
etc. plus the regular no chocolate, spicy things,
etc- and nothing was changing. So I told my doc about this allergy and he was kind of like 0 it's really rare- you could try here on formula over the weekend kind of a thing- but he wanted us to buy
Nutramigen-way expensive and it was still milk based- Anyways we had a soy formula on hand ans we gave it to her and she did a complete 180! She has
chunked up and is doing really well! Then he had us add rice cereal to her bottles to help her keep from spitting up as much- and that has done well until the last few days- it has totally given her diarrhea and so we have been giving baths and
changing so many outfits everyday- tons of fun! Gabe in the mean time has been busy trying to help as much as he can with everyone and everything- what a sweet boy! So that is the latest- life is going on!
