Sweet Pea Juliet had her 2 month check up.....2 months!  As of October 10, she is 11ish pounds and 23 inches long and 75% all the way around.  Steven and I thought she would weigh in a little more (Sofia averaged in the 95-97% her first year!)

We were anxious for this appointment because of the sleeping habits that had been occuring in our household since the day we brought Juliet home and couldn't wait for the doctor's report and recommendations.  Juliet had not slept in her bassinet/crib since day one.  She had to sleep in an upright position or she had to be held on her stomach on whoever was holding her in an upright position....AND she would wake up and stay awake with so many wiggles for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night.  We were averaging 3 1/2 - 4 hours of sleep and we were exhausted.  Then in the middle of the night, Sofia would join our party and see that one of us was sitting up so she would make herself comfortable in our bed and start her chats.  Goodness!  I kept telling myself that Juliet was a different baby and we would get it together soon - but there was no relief.

Result:  Reflux

We have since started meds and a sensitive formula for her little tummy.  The wiggles don't occur half as long in the middle of the night and she burps a lot easier than before.  She even falls asleep while drinking a bottle - this never happened before.  So far so good, but sleep is still coveted.  Overall, Juliet is improving and hopefully our bed will not continue to look like this much longer   ;) 


Poor little legs :( (shots)

This made me hold her all day  :(
