Acid reflux and bellybuttons

My sweet Adelaide's crying fits got much worse Monday - in time for Daddy's return to work. I called the pediatrician, and she has been diagnosed with acid reflux. We started her on Axid Monday night, and it seemed to help a little. She was still awake all night, though.

Yesterday she had another crying bout, but it was only once for about an hour and a half. And then she had the most blissful night of sleep ever last night. I slept almost 7 hours!!! I can't tell you how amazing it was. I have been feeling the "baby blues" the past few days - crying at just about everything, so getting this extra sleep was truly heaven. She slept in her carseat placed in the bassinett and only woke to eat. When I changed her diaper around 3am, her cord stump was hanging on by a tiny thread. They said not to pull it, so I diapered her back up like that. At her next change, her bellybutton was revealed! What a big night we had! Now that she is all grown up, I told her it is time for her to get a job :-)

We are headed to a baby class at our pediatrician now, so here is hoping she sleeps and is a good baby during the trip and the class. It is all so unpredictable at this stage... Thanks for the sleep, Ade. Let's keep it up, baby girl.
