Life with Zoey

Two days ago Zoey bear turned 2 months. We went to the doctor yesterday and got her shots. My brave little Zoey cried for a few seconds and stopped as soon as I picked her up. She now weighs 9 lbs and 9 oz and 21 ¼ in long. We still can’t figure out why she can’t eat more than 2 oz at a time. It’s not the formula and it’s not the bottle nipple either. We wasted so much formula over the last month trying to figure out her feeding schedule. I’m just grateful that it doesn’t have to come out of our pocket, thanks WIC. Her pedia thinks she has an acid reflux so she decided to give her zantac and we hope it’ll work.

Yesterday was probably the hardest day I’ve ever had with Zoey. I was a little frustrated but knowing that she just had her shots, I had to suck it all up and be a little patient with her. She slept the whole day in my arms. I tried to put her down but she just cried hysterically and it took me longer than usual to console her. The longest she laid still in bed was 5 minutes and boy was I grateful for that. I took that chance and ran to the bathroom, fixed myself and then ate a sandwich. I made sure I let Zoey know that I was thankful she gave me time for myself. I never knew I could do so much in 5 minutes.

I hope today will be a better day for both of us.

  1. I remember those days when the kids were so cranky after their shots. We couldn't put them down, either. They just wanted our arms wrapped around them the whole time.

    Hopefully Zoey doesn't have acid reflux because that would suck. But if she does, let's hope zantac works.

    Btw, Zoey is one of the prettiest baby girls I've seen! :)
