Our Little Runt is GROWING!

That's right, she is now a little over 9 lbs. Monday went to the doctor and our little run has hit the 9lb. mark! we were concerned that she had been spitting up a lot, sneezing, and coughing. The pediatrician attributed the symptoms to reflux and increased her reflux medicine... sadly, the coughing continued and a stuffy nose came along with it so I decided to call the doctor and make sure everything was okay-- so we went back today (the picture is at the doctor-- she was eating Pinky's nose while waiting for the doctor to coem in). They tested her for RSV, but it was negative luckily!!! We saw the doctor on call and he was very nice. He has a little girl at home that is 3 weeks older than her. He completely understood what we are going through. His little girl has reflux and spits up too and he assured me that medicine doesn't stop spit up and the spit up is more miserable to us than to her. He said that spit up doesn't feel like throwing up and she isn't in pain. But, she does have a miserable cold that I'm guessing she got from her Daddy since he has a miserable cold too. Dr. Mommy has her hands full suction her baby's nose out, getting medicine for Daddy, and whatever else the sicklings need. Let's hope they both feel better soon.
