Once a week drs.

This was supposed to be the first week that we did not have an appointment that we had to go to. Yesterday that was not true. We have conjuctivitis again/clogged tear duct, and a slight cold. She has been eating funny and sleeping funny. Well not sleeping is more along the right lines. Weds. night we woke up every hour and was up for about 20-30 minutes, she actually ate every time also. 2-3 oz each time she woke up. We mentioned to the pediatrician (hers wasn't available) that we were considering starting her on cereal to help her stay full and sleep but we got a roundabout answer on how really it is only to teach her how to eat properly not really to help her nutritiously. I will have to wait and see how it goes sleeping this weekend. Last night we slept the two hours but she woke up sometimes an hour later wanting her pacifier and spitting it out 2-3 times so she slept I didn't. I am not sure how I can function with less sleep than I am already getting. I about hit our BMW into the side of the garage door and our fence yesterday morning because I was so out of it when I was leaving, I was so tired I couldn't figure out how to get out of the garage without hitting something. I finally pulled all the way back in and tried again, which is what I should have done in the first place. This weekend our mission is to catch up on sleep and get back to our routine. I think we were thrown off a little this past weekend because we did a lot off out of the normal visiting people. Oh, on a good note......we now weigh 12 lbs 2 ounces. We gained 7 oz in the last week! We also found out that the hiccups and sneezing is a sign of the acid reflux. I thought that was interesting. I had been wondering why she gets the hiccups like 7 times a day, and she sneezes a lot, like her daddy, I would have never guessed the sneezing was part of the reflux. We were told to keep an eye on her and let them know if the reflux seems to be getting stronger again. As she gains weight they will have to up her dose.
