Check-Up

Wow! Sadie is 4 months old! Crazy! I was counting down to the doctor's visit because her acid reflux has been really bad this past week! No fun! Just this morning, for example, after sleeping 11hrs she ate ONE measly ounce. After 11hrs, she should be starving, but after an ounce she cried and squirmed and pushed the bottle away. Well, that's not enough to keep her healthy, so I've had to wait 20ish minutes and offer the bottle AGAIN! It's been taking 40-60min to feed her! UGH! So yes, I was anxious to get to the doctor!



Luckily, the doctor had answers for us! We're adding rice cereal to her milk to help keep everything down in her tummy. We've only had one feeding like this, but it was amazing! LoL, oh the things that get me happy these days! She usually eats around 5oz, but when I made the bottle with the rice, I accidentally made 6oz. Yeah, she
downed that thing in minutes! I think she's used to eating until it hurts her, and since this didn't hurt, she gobbled it right up! Poor baby, but it looks like we're on the right track! :)

While at the doctor's she also got her shots. I let Cory hold her down, then I raced to comfort/save her as soon as they were done. It was almost funny this time. Her face turned BRIGHT
red, and she howled! Her screams were definitely directed at the nurse! The nurse was sweet and careful with her, but while I was holding Sadie and she was screaming and staring right at the nurse! Just kept looking at her with this "Why???" face! LoL! You had to be there!

Anyway, she's 4 months old now, and her stats are almost identical to her 2month. Height:97% Weight: 60% I don't know how we had a tall baby! Hmm...The mailman is tall....j/k! She's 14lbs, and 25.75inches. Even though feeding is a struggle, she makes up for it by being the HAPPIEST baby! She's full of smiles and laughs!

LOVE HER!
