Two Months Old!

Sweet little Gemma is officially two weeks old today! I can't believe how fast it is going! She doesn't have her two-month check-up until next Tuesday (13th), so I will do another update then. But she seems to be doing great. When we took her to the pediatrician a week or so ago, she was right at 10 lbs., and that was after 2 weeks of excessive spitting up and not eating due to her acid reflux problem, so I am hopeful that she will be gaining weight even better now. The prevacid seems to be helping her tremendously. We have seen a drastic improvement since the very first day that she started taking it - she has been acting hungry again and is back to eating 3-4 oz. at every feeding, with minimal spitting up. She is also back to being the super happy baby that she was before the reflux started bothering her. We are so thankful that the medicine is working - it was so awful to watch our little girl hurting! We love her too much to see her in pain.

Here is this month's picture of Gemma & her pink giraffe. She has visibly grown and can no longer fit in any of her newborn clothes. She has also started smiling a lot and "talking" all the time (I'm pretty sure my heart literally melts every time she smiles at me). Can't wait to see what this next month will bring! Every day with Gemma is an adventure!
