We are home!

Well friends, it has been 48 hours since we have returned home with our new addition and I must say, WHEWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE....boy has it been awhile! It hasn't been that bad it is just that Kara Brooke's formula is giving her a really bad stomach ache and gassing her up. The first night was really bad but then last night wasn't too bad for me but my little stinkers tummy got to bothering her. She went to sleep at about 10:30pm and then didn't wake up until 2:00am this morning, so that was great but then from about 3:30am until 5:30am her tummy was hurting so bad, I think I gave her Mylicon three times, she finally went back to sleep at 5:30 and slept until 10:00am. I called the Dr. yesterday and he said to watch her the next 24 hours and call back if the gas doesn't get any better so of course I called back this morning. I think she needs a formula a little more gentle on her stomach and also she needs to poop! Other than that we are doing good, if we can get those few hours down pat we will be doing great!


But isn't she precious!!!!?????!!!! I still can NOT get over 10lbs. 3oz. wow.....by chance did anyone notice the jowls or the triple chins on this kid? If not, here are a few more pictures. Oh and thanks to everyone who has commented, called, emailed or who has come to visit us, we really appreciate it!

She is beautiful. Those cheeks are absolutely precious. I just want to pinch them. The formula will work out you may just need to try a few different ones.
Good Luck and spoil her rotten.

check out that hair!! Love it!! Good luck with the formula stuff - that is the reason I didn't use that stuff - the same thing would have happened to me all 4 times!! I'm sure of it! I'm currently dealing with reflux - yuck!
