Layla and I got back last night from a three day stay at St. Johns to try and get her reflux under control. After a week of reall bad and a couple days of unbearable throwing up and screaming, I had enough. They admitted us on Sunday morning so Layla could get some IV fluids and meds to help. We weren't able to even keep her meds down her, so this has really helped that. We know we are in for another month of hard times before we really see her get a lot better, but at least we know we are on the right path now. So all available baby holders - come on over. Layla is a very sweet baby when she is not in pain and we can provide smocks for all the spit-up :) Really - I'm not kidding - if you live in the greater St. Louis area, please come over. My arms are killing me from holding this baby 24x7.
Layla weighed in at 9 lbs yesterday morning (at 1:30 am when they like to come in and weigh the babies) so she is gaining weight. We go back in next week for her official 1 month check-up and they would like her to be at least 9.5 lbs at that time, so the pressure is on.

She looks a little scary in this picture... Don't you have a program to take out the red eyes?
Cute, though. I'll come over and hold her!
