A general gnashing of teeth.
Today is going to be a very long day. We had a fabulous weekend and Lucy had a GREAT time downstate with the fam, but she's missing Josiah something fierce. She doesn't want me to entertain her at ALL. She wants Josiah! It's going to make for a crabby Lucy! Thankfully, Xander will be coming over to play a little later...we also have a big walk to the post office in a few minutes, so I'm hoping to distract her for a little while!

An update on our big girl!
Lucy is 7 months old now! Here she is participating in exersaucer tobogganing. She also loves floor swimming.
A view from the front of her vehicle.
Lucy riding Aunt Suz's legs!
Lucy playing in the snow in front of the post office!
Lucy's first snow angel!
The snow was falling in her face and she had NO idea what to think!
"Do I look like I just fell off the turnip truck?"
Lucy and the Serving Spoon. This is now her preferred way of eating puffs. One at a time on a giant spoon.
"Get that camera away! I'm naked!"
"I don't usually kiss on the first date, but in your case I'll make an exception..."
A very surprised Lucy!
Having naked time!
Look at those buns!
Lucy stuck between bins.
Lucy sleeping last night. We thought she was so cute that we just had to take pictures!

It's late.
It's 1am and Andrew is driving Suz home. We all had a fun night. I dyed my hair. Lucy is in her little crib sleeping very cozily. I went into her room to turn the heat down and she was sacked out with her arms and legs splayed in all different directions. She looked so cute and so "baby" helpless. There is nothing I wouldn't do for her. She's just the sweetest little thing in the world. I always try to go in and see her before I go to bed, and I always have to resist the temptation to pull her out of her crib for one last snuggle. She just smells too cute and her little chubby cheeks are just too kissable. Do you always have that urge to pull your babies close? Will I still feel the same way when she's 18 and trying to figure it all out for herself? Will I still want to wake her up for one last snuggle? I think I will.

Busy Thursday!
Well, a lot can happen between Wednesday and Friday!
We decided that Lucy's weight gain, or lackthereof, has become enough that we were starting to get concerned. She spits up her entire meal every time she eats, and we're getting really tired of all this laundry! So I called Dr. Molly and made an appointment to sit down and talk with her.
We went in yesterday morning and had a long talk with Dr. Molly and Dr. D. They went over Lucy's previous ultrasound, talked about her diet and her weight and did a full checkup. They were really happy that she's flying through her milestones and showing so much strength, but were really concerned about the fact that she's not gaining. At her 6m appt, she was 14lbs 14oz, and yesterday she was an even 15 with her clothes on and a wet diaper. So, that's not very good.
They diagnosed her with severe "Silent Reflux," which means that she's spitting up everything and has reflux, but doesn't have the pain. She previous screaming fits could have been pain, but so far she's been really lucky to be spitting up and not feeling it. They prescribed Zantac and want to see her again within a week. They're going to schedule an Upper GI test to go in and take a look for structural abnormalities as well. Dr Molly asked me to page her this weekend if she spits up more or is acting funny. We started the meds last night, and Dr Molly said that we should see a bit of a change by the weekend. We also have to keep her upright for an hour after every meal, which is a big challenge. Lucy loves to tank up and then wrestle on the floor and roll around, so keeping her busy sitting up is a tough task.
We'll go in this coming Wednesday for another weight check and to evaluate the Zantac, and to take it from there. We have to give it to her 3 times a day, which isn't fun. But, she slept through the night last night! Hooray! Andrew and I had a wonderful night snuggling on the couch and watching tv, AND we got 7 hours of uniterrupted sleep! Wow!
Well, I hear her getting up from her nap, but wanted to update everyone! I'll post snow pics tonight!
