1 month check up

Ella had her one month check up today, for the most part thing are great! She is now weighing in at 7 pounds 3 ounces, not yet back up to birth weight but nows weighs an ounce more than when we left the hospital and up 9 ounces from her lowest weight, so go Ella! Her length is 21 inches, 2 inches longer, yippie!

We talked to the doctor about her not sleeping, not wanting to be on her back for long, her gas, her hiccups and her wanting to be held constantly, and even the new sign of mucus, and it turns out they may all be related to one another. The dr thinks she might have acid reflux (who knew a baby could suffer that) so we have some drops for her and our desperatly hoping she feels better in the next couple of days, because she has been so miserable.

So that's where we stand, and I promise i will put more pictures up but we just haven't been taking them as much recently, but stay tuned!
