Yay

I just wanted to post on my weight loss progress....my starting weight was a horrid 188....today i weighed in at 183. That is a total of 5 lbs in less than 2 weeks. It seems like i'm losing about 1/2lbs a day. I'd have to say thats pretty damn good!

In other news I finally have a happy baby. No more reflux meds...now shes just on crazy expensive formula, but i'm just happy she's happy:) Last night she slept from 1am-7am straight! It would be nice if she would do that every night.

Houston....We've Got Smiles

So I posted last week about the whole reflux crabby baby thing....well it all started w/ Alyssa being incredibly crabby and seeming to be in pain, so I called the doc and asked if i could switch her formula to soy because that's what morgan was on. So she had been on that since last week. Then I took her for her "reflux", she's been on those meds since tuesday. So one would think that i should have a happy pain free baby...NOPE. So i've come to the conclusion that she's colic. She was whiny all day long, and wouldn't sleep unless i was holding her. I knew there was something wrong. So i took it upon myself to switch her formula yet again. I put her on Similic Alimentum, it's a hypoallergenic formula for colic babies. She's literally had 9 ozs. and look what she give me!!!

I wouldn't say she's felling 100% better, she's still whiny, but what an improvement already. The formula says relief w/in 24hrs, so i'm excited to see what tomorrow has in store for me. Hopefully a happy baby girl!
