Wednesday
Tuesday was a decent day. Nothing exciting at all. I enjoyed a nice long nap with Bay & that was good. Bayley had poops finally. That is always a positive and a negative thing. Bless her heart.
Today was traumatizing for Bayley but ok in the big picture. We got up and went to the doctor at 9. Bayley weighs 8 lb 1 oz and is 20 inches long. She finally made the chart on her weight but not her height. She is in the 10th percentile on her weight which is better than nothing. Dr. Tindle checked the stricture (OUCH) but the good news is she shouldnt have to check it again...it was better and she said taht now it is like a small newborn so it definitely ruptured on her last check. We talked for a long time about possibilities regarding her tummy issues and she decided to try her on Levsin which is an antispasmatic drug. Dr. Tindle says that it sound like she is having major stomach cramps from her tummy being premature. She said that hopefully this will relax her tummy and bowels and allow things to flow better w/out causing Bayley so much pain. We are also gonna put her on Karo Syrup 1tsp once a day to try to keep her stools thinned out while we are trying the Levsin so maybe it will work better. She checked her belly button ad said it is no better. She was anemic which makes no sense because she is already on iron but she increased the amount and we will try that. Bayley got the oral Rototek vaccine and 4 shots. She is NOT a happy camper. She is pitiful and cries out while she is sleeping and if she is awake she is fussing and crying. Im giving her Tylenol every 4 hours but so far it hasnt helped a bunch. O well we will hope tomorrow is a better day. I will try to post pics in a lil bit but so far girlfriend isnt in a phototaking mood lol.

Poor Bayley! It sounds like she is on her way to having a normal stomach! The Butterbean Festival that I was talking about the other night is this Saturday in Pinson. I think you go up 79 and follow the signs. At least that's what I heard on the radio. They had a lady there last year from either Rainbow City or Pell City that made ADORABLE dresses for little girls at affordable prices.
