We'll I can't believe it but, Lexi is 3 months old!! The time really has flown by. It's seems like forever since I was pregnant with her. When I was waking up with her every two hours seems like a lifetime ago. I know then I could never picture her falling asleep at 9 and not waking up until 7 the next morning, but now she does....Last week I found out she has gastric reflux. Basically she vomits more than normal for a baby after eating, arches her back, and is abnormally hungry. It's basically because her digestive system isn't fully developed yet. So her doctor prescribed what is basically a liquid zantac for babies (peppermint flavored. It seems to be helping with the spitting up, but she still does the arching of the back thing about 20 to 30 minutes after she eats. It hasn't been a week yet so I'll just have to wait and see. The hardest part of it all is that when she is awake she is eating at the longest every hour and a half. It can be frustrating, but I can't get mad at her cuz she's hungry so what else is she supposed to do?
Sometimes I feel like I should feel bad because my baby isn't always happy and smiling or cuz she eats so much. Like she is a "bad" baby, but ya know what she is who she is and I love her no matter what. Really though all her "fussiness" is worth every smile I get from her and just overall the way she makes me feel. I'm even tearing up now thinking about it. I really am so thankful to have her in my life. I love being her mom....I know mostly I blog about her majority of the time now, but thats because she is my life. However, for a second I thought I would say something about myself. I didn't picture going into motherhood as a single mom and its not my ideal, but I know I can do it (not that I'm saying it will be easy though). I have so much support from friends and family that I know they will always be there for me and Lexi. I hope to someday meet a guy who will treat me with the love and respect I deserve and of course who loves Lexi. Okay enough about me, so I've been trying to download pics from my camera onto the comp, but its not letting me so all I have is this pic I recently took of Lex in her bumbo chair that she got from her grandma.
