Disappeared again...lots has happened
So sorry for disappearing again. I feel like life gets more and more busy every day now. Sarah is now just over 5 months old and full of smiles and giggles. She is rolling all over the place and getting stronger by the minute. Now that she can roll from her back she is never being still.
We took another trip with her at the end of January. She did wonderfully on our 24 hour trip to Atlanta. She is quite the little traveler already.
To reward your patience here is a video of Sarah rolling.
Her failures before are rather cute too. So here is that video.
Here are some pictures as well. :)

4 Months Stats
Sarah had her 4 month WC this afternoon. I got a new prescription for her reflux and fully expecting to call in a week to have them raise the dose as this is the game we play. Outside of the reflux she is perfect!
Weight: 14lbs 10oz 75%-90%
Height: 24 1/8in 25%-50%
Head: 15 7/8in 25%-50%
She dropped percentiles in her height and head circumference but the pedi is not worried about it. Hard to believe she will be 6 months for her next check up!

Santa comes to town
We went to meet Santa this morning. I wanted to go early so there would be no lines and she was Santa's 2nd picture of the year. LOL No smile but she is not in tears and is looking at the camera so I call it a success.

Breastfeeding = HARD!
Sarah was a breeze to breastfeed from day 1. I always thought myself to be really lucky b/c people talk about the sore nipple, bad latches, clogged ducts, etc and we never had any of that.
Fast forward to 7 weeks old and it all goes to hell and a hand basket. Her reflux makes feeding her absolute torture for her an me. She just screams and fights and I feel awful for her. We are still working on getting her dosage right and her meds were up'ed for a second time today. More often then not we are both in tears at some feeding during the day.
It is getting to the point now where I am dreading her feedings some days and I feel awful for it. I just want to give it all up and throw my hands up in the air. I know that isn't the answer not b/c I think formula is bad but it tends to make reflux worse since you lose the natural antacid property with BM.
I guess my next step is to eliminate dairy and to be completely honest, I am not excited. So much for thinking it got easier as she got older....
To end on a happier note here's Sarah!

We have crib success
It took 3 nights but last night slept from 8:30pm to 6am without one wake up. Hooray!! Tonight will be the real test to prove that last night was not a fluke. The whole thing was exhausting so I will be very happy to get back to our normal sleep schedule.

Transition to the crib...
might be the end of me. Last night Sarah slept for 3 hours and then was up every 20 min from 12:30am to 3am and then slept until 5 and was up for the day. Shoot me now! She is already resisting going down tonight so I am certain I am up for the same song and dance tonight.
Last night it was replace bink, restart mobile every 20 min. Please child SLEEP!!! She would not even nap today which pretty much made for an awful day. Sarah please oh please sleep...momma needs to sleep too.

2 Month Stats
Sarah had her 2 month well check this morning. Outside of the reflux, (which the pedi is not worried about) Sarah is doing perfect! Here are her stats:
Weight: 12lbs 1oz 75%-90%
Height: 23in 75%
Head: 15 3/8in 50%-75%
She is still sleeping 10-11 hours at night which is GREAT! She is not a great napper which the doc said is very normal for a 2 month old who sleeps so much at night. I don't think she is ever going to be a great daytime sleeper. But I cannot complain much since she sleeps through the night.
She got 4 shots and an oral vaccine. That was just heartbreaking for me! I hate to hear her cry from pain. She is sleeping it off in her crib now. I am hoping to have her sleeping in her crib at night soon. We are working on naps right now.
So all in all she is doing great and growing perfectly!

So sorry for dissappearing
Life has been very crazy over the last month. I promise I will be better about updating. Today Sarah is 2 months old. That just seems crazy to me!
We survived our first trip together. We had a great time in OKC and Burk. It was certainly an adventure flying alone with Sarah and it was so much easier coming home since I had Michael's help.
Today Sarah was diagnosed with reflux and put on Zantac so we are fighting that battle right now. It was so awful to hear her cry from the pain when I tried to feed her. It just broke my heart. I hope she starts to feel better soon. She has her 2 month well check on Monday and I will get updated stats for her then.
Outside of that we are just getting used to day to day life still. I am sure I will upload some halloween photos this week.
