One of the better days

After a rough week I must say that Sunday was the best day. Minus Saturday night where we barely slept. Lets start from the beginning. Saturday night Audrey had another rough night sleeping. We were up most of the night, she was laying in the bed on her side so I could pat her back while I was on the laptop watching shows on HULU. At about 3:30 in the morning I decided to see if my Mom could maybe get her to sleep. I put her in bed with my Mom and I went to sleep for a few hours. When I got up at around 6:30am I found my Mom holding Audrey in the living room trying to rock her back to sleep. I told my Mom that I would take her back so she could try and get some rest. All through the night about every hour Audrey would drink about an ounce of formula, by about 7Am she had about 6 ounces. I had given her gas medicine about every 3 hours along with a little bit of Tylenol. I rocked Audrey back to sleep, or what I thought was her sleeping and decided to lay down again myself. Audrey sleeps in our room since we do not have another room in the house for her, but that all changes on the 1st of Jan, I am saving that for another blog. After I laid Audrey back in her crib she was asleep for about 20 minutes before she was back to fussing and moving all about. I was beyond frustrated at this point and my Mom could tell. So she came and grabbed Audrey and took her into the living room to try and soothe her. When I woke up again at about 11am Audrey I guess had just woken up as well, about 45 minutes before me and was watching tv. My Mom told me that she fell asleep in her boppy chair watching tv and slept for about 3 hours. My Mom fell asleep on the little couch. This now bring us to Sunday afternoon. I immediately made Audrey homemade banana oatmeal for breakfast and a bottle. She ate about half the oatmeal and about an ounce of bottle. I also had given her the laxative earlier that night so her diapers were pretty nasty all day. She was doing much better as far as I could tell. My best friend Samantha came over to give Audrey her Christmas present and to hangout for a little while. Sam made Audrey the cutest onesie with a baby monkey in a diaper holding a bottle with hearts around it and cute purple dress from Old navy! Audrey was in such a good mood that I was able to get a few things like wrapping more gifts, chat with my Dad for a few and some small house chores. Audrey took little naps and ate every few hours which was much better then days before. She had normal fussy times but for most of the day she was pretty good. Now she is sleeping in her crib and only fussing a little. I am making an appointment at Children s Hospital in Seattle so they can look at her GI tract better then Mary Bridge. I need more answers and I feel like I am not getting those at MB. She has an appointment with her normal doctor to check for an ear infection on Tuesday. I want to rule out what we can before going to Seattle.
