I am hoping this is the last time I have to say that we are really really hoping things are turning around for Layla. We increased her meds again this week and have seen some improvement. We are giving it a week at the new dose before the doctor can determine if we need any next steps. We have been able to put Layla down once or twice a day when she is sleeping so that is a huge improvement. She doesn't stay asleep as long as she should just yet (wakes up to fuss and spit) but it is a step in the right direction. We know it is taboo, but as you can see she is on her belly. Hey - we are in survival mode here and we know she will be just fine as were the millions of babies put to sleep on their bellies for centuries.
At the pediatrician on Tuesday Layla weighed in at 9lbs 11oz and is 21 inches long. She is growing like a champ so that is good news. She is still 100% breastfed and doing well. We are introducing the bottle again this week to make sure she gets comfortable with that before she (like her sister) decides that milk only comes from one place. I know this is a lot to take on in the midst of her illness, but mom needs a break too and if she won't drink from the bottle, I will never get away for an evening. I have a hair appointment today so wish Matt luck :)
I haven't taken enough pictures this week, but will try to get more (and some of Hannah) this weekend.
Take care.

Hang in there! We are all rooting for you. She is a beautiful baby.
She's a chunky monkey :) She'll get better as she gets older. How fast is time passing!
