This is the picture I was trying to capture
And this is one I got in the process...This pretty much sums up Kendall's day...She spits up CONSTANTLY. In fact, she spit up in my hair right as we were walking out the door to a dr's appt this morning...it was really awesome. At least I actually got to take a shower today and get the crust out...lol! So, yeah, she eats, spits up and then an hour and a half to two hours later, is hungry again and so the process starts again. Needless to say, I don't sleep much in between all of this pigging out. I was worried that maybe she wasn't getting enough to eat with all the puking, but at the dr's today, she weighed her and Piggy Wiggy is up to 12 pounds! We were at the dr about a month ago and she was only 8lbs 15oz, so she gained 3 pounds in one month! Geez!!!!! It was the cardiologist we went to see. She had a heart monitor for twenty four hours two weeks ago, so we went to get the results of that today. No episodes, so yay! She's now going to be taking her medication every 8 hours instead of every 6 hours. I'm so glad because we were having to give her a dose at 2am, which is really not a fun time to be up! So, no more early morning dosages (well, 7am, but I can deal with that, I suppose). We go back in another month for another heart monitor and then a follow up visit after that. She's doing really well, though, which I am so glad about! I had a very hard time dealing with everything when we were in the hospital....You expect to have a healthy, flawless baby and when that doesn't happen, it's pretty darn difficult--especially when they tell you they're admitting her to the NICU. Anywhoo...She's good, Blake's good, we're all good! Oh, and Kendall's rash is completely gone! Yay!

sounds like she likes to eat! hope you can get more sleep soon!
are you still nursing? one good thing about breast milk spit-up is that it usually dries clear.

good news about the dr's appt. she's a cutie.
