Ashlan is 12 weeks today! She is still sleeping around 7 hours at night so we are thrilled with that! And she has pretty much put herself on a schedule with naps too. One thing I don’t like though is that she is still sleeping in her carrier. It seemed her heartburn medication wasn’t doing much because she was never able to lay on her back for longer than a few minutes. We just recently stopped her on Zantac and started her on Prevacid so we’re hoping that does the trick. Prevacid is so much harder to administer than Zantac though. We have to dissolve a pill into 4 ml’s of water and then give it to her in a syringe. Zantac was just a liquid and we gave it to her in 0.5 ml’s so there is a big difference in liquid there…especially for a baby! She took the Zantac with no problem because the syringe was so small but we can’t do that with the Prevacid because it is such a big syringe. We can’t dissolve it in a bottle either because the little granules won’t go through the bottle nipple. So we’ve just been giving it to her in the syringe but it is hit or miss on whether or not she just spits it back out! It is at least strawberry flavored so I’m sure that helps.
Dan’s mom arrived on Tuesday so she has been spending lots of quality time with Ashlan. Today we have Ashlan’s three month pictures scheduled so she’ll get to see Ashlan be a supermodel, haha. This weekend is when Dan’s dad and sister will arrive so I’m sure they are anxious to meet Ashlan as well.
We are getting very close to be able to put Ashlan in cloth diapers full time! I actually picked a day last week and had her in cloth diapers all day. She only leaked once, however, she got a slight diaper rash towards the end of the day so I am researching what to use on her that is safe for cloth diapers (and effective against diaper rash & prevention). I have a few good ideas from friends who also cloth diaper.
So my weight is definitely starting to come off now, which I am so thankful for because I’m trying really hard! I only have about 10 lbs to go now. I fit into most of my prepregnancy pants though they are still a tad tight. Ashlan and I have been making good use of the jogging stroller and I try to take Caesar on a mile walk every day. I’m glad Ashlan’s birthday was when it was because bathing suit season is right around the corner and hopefully I’ll be ready!
Ashlan's in 6-12 mos socks...is that normal for this age? I hope her feet aren't too big or else she may hate them!
Check out Caesar in the background of these two pictures, HAHA! He's pouting in this pic below!
HAHA, I think this picture below is so funny!
Another funny face pic!
Happy girl!
She has a cloth diaper on here...doesn't look too bulky anymore!
Here are some pics of her in cloth diapers with her babylegs on. She is wearing 3-9 mos onesies already! They actually look tighter than I thought they would have looked on her, even when she’s in sposies, which take up less room than cloth.
Grammy and Ashlan
Another pic with Grammy...check out Caesar using the boppy pillow, haha! Always has to be in the pic!
