6 Weeks and counting...

We have had a busy last few weeks. Madelyn was really fussy for a week and a half. It seemed like everytime we weren’t holding her just right she would be screaming her head off. She did not want to eat, sleep, or cuddle. I took her to the doctor’s office to get checked out and her doctor thinks she has acid reflux. So, Maddie has to take Zantac twice a day now. It is mint flavored and she HATES how it tastes and throws a big fit everytime we give her the medicine. It seemed to work really well the first few days, but she has started to be more fussy again.

I read the “Babywise” book this week to try and figure something out for her fussiness. We started doing some of the things out of it and Maddie seems to be sleeping a lot better. She slept from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. one night this week…not bad for a 6 week old!! Most night she is only getting up once, so I am feeling more rested.

Josh and I were able to go and visit our friends Frank, Sherry, Graham, and Mitchell this weekend. It was so nice to see them. Madelyn was well behaved for the majority of our visit. She ended up sleeping through most of it.

We have another busy week planned. Madelyn has a baby shower at ENT on Thursday. My friends Sandra and Neal are coming home next weekend to visit (they live in Houston, TX). We can’t wait to see everyone!!
