So, I know I haven't blogged in forever (but there is a good reason). Ansley has recently been having a battle with her reflux. Poor baby has been hurting so bad, so that means she has been very vocal with her pain. The only thing that seems to relieve it is walking her around on my shoulder. So all that walking means no time to do the blog (let alone take a shower!). We have been busy little bees so there is a lot to catch up on.
We recently went up to Virginia for our friends Katie and Dylan's wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful. It took place at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Richmond. I don't know if any of you watch Bones, but the Greenhouse looked just like the Jeffersonian!!
Ansley was a perfect little angel the whole time! She even slept through the rehearsal dinner at a Japanese steakhouse. This was our first really long road trip (it took 8 hrs to get there) and she slept the entire time both ways. However, when we got back that is when we had the problem. Apparently, it is not that great for babies with bad reflux to sit in their car seats that long, so it really irritated it. All in all, we had a great time though. I especially loved seeing my handsome hubby dressed in his tux!Since we have been home Ansley has also had a trip to the doctor for her 2 month check up. Our baby is a GROWING girl! She already weighs 12 pounds 4 ounces, and is 23 and 3/4 long!! The doctor said that she is growing perfectly despite her reflux, which was a relief to me. The doctor put her on Prevacid hoping that it helps her better than the Zantac. So far it seems to be working, but yesterday we had a pretty bad day. There was lots of screaming and purple spit up. I put a call in and the nurse said that it was just some of the dye in the medicine and not to worry. Last night I ran to Target(my favorite store) and picked up some Gripe Water for her gas, and it seemed to work! Hopefully these things will help our baby girl to feel better!! Also at that appointment she got her shots! It was horrible (for me at least). She did pretty good and only screamed a little, but she wasn't a happy camper the rest of the dayHere is our (big) little pumpkin!!
We have also had lots of visitors the past few weeks. Freddy's parents Grandma and Grandpa Stokes stayed with us after a brief visit to Atlanta. Ansley absolutely loved seeing them!!
Reflux is definitely NO fun & always a challenge to figure out what works! We bought the Fisher Price "My Little Lamb" swing because it can swing from side to side instead of front to back like the little travel swing we had! Madelyn LOVES it! Consequently, I do too :) Ansley is jut beautiful by the way!! And thank you for all your prayers for our little girl!
