Hanging Out in My Bouncer

Home For 6 Weeks Already!

I can't believe it has been six weeks since we brought Sarah home! The NICU seems almost like a distant memory, though it was just 6 weeks ago.  She weighs 3.2 KG or 7 lbs 1 ounce!

We had a rough time this week with Sarah's reflux. She has been vomitting a lot and we are trying to make her a little more comfortable, though nothing I try is working too well.

We are starting Reglan today, which I hope gives her (and me too!) some relief. The Reglan is on top of the Prevacid. I have done a lot of research and found that a lot of preemies have acid reflux, mostly due to their immature digestive system.

With the exception of her being unhappy when her tummy hurts, she is a very happy baby. She loves being held, going for walks, car rides, taking baths (yippee), and listening to her music.

Here is a video is her playing in her swing, on an empty stomach of course!

Sarah is 5 Months Old Today!

Well technically, I guess.  Though she is only supposed to be 7 weeks old, corrected age.

Things are settling down nicely into a routine for us here at home.  We love every minute of having Sarah with us at all times.  Her eating continues to improve little by little .We try not too push her to take the bottle if she clearly isn't interested.  She has begun to coo and smile a lot and recently discovered her hand.
