We went to the dr. this morning. Makenna has been fussier than normal the past few days and has been spitting up, which she hadn't done. According to the nurse practitioner, they start to spit up more around this time. Who knew? She gave us a prescription for some reflux medicine. She said there was no sure way to know if she had it, but to try the medicine. Hopefully she feels better - it breaks your heart when they scream and it seems something doesn't feel good and nothing you do consoles them.
Apparently Makenna continues to eat well. They didn't make her get undressed this time, so the weight is with her outfit and a wet diaper, but she is now up to 10 lbs 6 oz. So maybe without the outfit and wet diaper closer to 10 lbs, but I would say that over 2 lb. weight gain is pretty good for 3.5 weeks. Next time we go she has to get shots. Yuck. I'm not sure how I feel about these combination shots. I know there is controversy and most kids are fine. I suppose you just have to do it - I don't have the time or knowledge to do the research. (yes, I have the Vac.cine book by Dr. S.ears, but in my opinion he thinks you should get all of them.) So, next month Makenna will be a pin cushion and I get to watch!
