Brienna went for her 4 month check today. She is still very long, but very thin. She only weighs 13lbs but is almost 25 inches long. Everything looked great. I was going to ask about her spitting up an hour after she eats, but I didn't have to because as he was examining her she spit up a ton of the curdled milk like she always does. He said that he thinks she is eating too much too fast. He suggested giving her rice cereal twice a day and feeding her more frequently with less ounces. She must be eating too quickly and not realizing when her stomach is full. I do have to use the tri-cut nipples for her bottle because the formula is SUPER thick but I am going to try just using the medium flow and making her work a little for it.
Since Gary had to be in Chicago at 6:00am this morning we kept Rylee home for the morning. His mom came over to watch the kids while I went to the doctor. Then we met Gary at McDonald's for lunch and he took her back to her mother.
Jamie, this next part will be extremely interesting for you. I have a post it on my desk with Madilyn's name on it. I wrote it down when you decided so that if I ordered her anything personalized I would have the right spelling. Zach saw it today and asked me whose name it was. I explained that it was the name of Jamie's new baby. He then informed me that Jamie did not need two babies and that we should go and steal Meredith so that she can come live with us. It was extremely funny the plot that he worked up. I tried to get him to repeat it with the camera rolling and it was not as funny but you get the point...
I thought you might be intersted in hearing that Zach has a master plan, and if you wake up one day and Meredith is gone rest assured he has carried it out!!
I cannot believe that Brienna is already 4 months old. She is getting so big (well, not actually big, but you know what I mean.)
ReplyDeleteYou tell Zatch that I would gladly let him take Meredith this week. I am pretty sure that he would be sending her back after 1 night.
