A bunch of stuff

Today...little Presley had her first set of shots. I think that she cried more out of anger than pain. I don't think I ever got the boob out faster! She stopped crying right away. They also gave her tylenol before and she slept for a long time after that. Regarding her reflux, the Dr. does not want to put her on Reglan or rice cereal. First she wants to increase the amount of Zantak. The dr. said that Reglan speeds up digestion so that the milk goes through her system quicker. She also said that since Presley was thriving so well that there was no need for Reglan.

Presley weighs 12lb. 11oz. She was 7lb. 14 oz. when she was born and has definitely gained a good amount. She is right on track with all her milestones such as smiling, cooing, and lifting her head when she is on her tummy.

On another note, I went and saw my friend Heidi who just had her baby a week ago. Marley is abosultely precious and it is hard to think that Presley was that little. When I was looking at Marley, I was thinking wow we made it this far. I must always remember that it is the Lord who has helped up this far.


Presley also went swimming for the first time on Sunday July 22nd. We went over to our friend Sara and Marcus's house. Presley really likes her bath, so we figured she would like it and she did! She just looks like she is really relaxed in the water.

Too cute! Shots can be hard. It never was for Hope but it has been hard on Naomi. I love reading what you write! Keep it up!
