I'm sorry that I haven't posted in so long!! We've been trying to launch a space shuttle this week and my system decided to not cooperate so I've been VERY busy...
ANYWHOO...Just wanted to update everyone on the girls (and not my life...LOL). Kayla has hit 12 lbs and I'm 99% sure that Kamryn is over 16 lbs!!!
I still feel like Kayla isn't gaining a lot of weight, but I guess the scales don't lie! She's been dealing with her reflux, teething and fluid in the ears...so you can only imagine how that is going!! Fortunately, I got her in to an ENT last week when I wasn't happy with how her Pediatrician was handling the ear issues and they were FABULOUS! They checked her hearing (which was great) and then they checked her ears and nose. The Dr could see evidence of her reflux getting up into her nose and he said that usually will go into the Eustachean tubes and cause the fluid to build up in her ears and cause infections. He recommended giving Kayla Singulair allergy medicine! The thinking is that by helping the sinuses/nasal passage to not get upset by the reflux, it would cut down on the amount of moisture that would be produced when she did reflux. I can honestly say that we noticed an immediate difference after the first night!!! Right after we gave her the medicine, she slept solidly for the first night in a long time!! She only woke up once to eat her midnight bottle and barely budged the rest of the night! Before, she would wake up constantly from the Reflux bothering her and causing her pain. Every night since she started the Singulair has been wonderful!! In fact, we are going to start working on trying to get her sleeping through most of the night and wean her off that midnight bottle now! Now if we could just get rid of the Reflux....

It's great that you were able to get something to help her. I can only imagine how it must have felt to have her finally sleeping peacefully.
