Audrey is Rockin and Rollin’

Audrey is officially a roller! She is rolling from back to tummy super easily, and tummy to back until she gets tired (and then she just screams until you roll her back onto her back).

We tried a four hour feeding schedule for 7 days last week. I’m sad to report that it did absolutely nothing to help with our sleepless nights – but I am going to keep trying. We put her down at night drowsy but awake after I feed her and she normally settles right to bed, but when she wakes in the middle of the night, she immediately starts wailing. Normally I will feed her the first time (around midnight or 1 am) and she drains both sides, and then the second time (anywhere between 3:30-5) she does it, I just try to comfort her with a passy / patting / gas medicine / burping until she falls back asleep (this normally takes an hour – good times) and then feed her again when she wakes for the morning (anywhere between 6-7:30am). She is a super gassy baby. When I pick her up she burps and toots like an old man. I think she is having some plumbing issues, and I’m hoping that just works itself out as she grows. I’ve tried eliminating dairy from my diet – and I am thinking about trying gluten next…we’ll see how patient I can be…I do think she is eating better during the day since we spread apart her feedings – so I guess that is a good thing. She is not a big fan of eating rice cereal. I don’t think she minds the taste – as the first few bites she seems fine, but after a few, she gets frustrated and starts arching her back like she is gassy…hmmm

We are actually going in for an ultrasound this week to check for hip issues. Maybe she is just uncomfortable? Time will tell, right?

In the meantime, I am looking for a new domain name for this blog. Something to represent both my girls – if you have any ideas – shoot me an email.
