We had a great weekend shopping trip at the outlets. We were on a search to find Kalista a new sweatshirt since she has outgrown the two we have for her. Can you believe she fit the 3-6 month size for this long? After searching, Matt found a winner...it's a super cute hoodie sweatshirt with little butterflies and flowers on it. Kalista will have to model it for everyone. She also got some really cute Puma crib sneakers that we will have to show you all. So adorable when she has them on! Okay...enough about our shopping adventure.
It's like a never-ending battle. The awful retching is back.
We were so happy since we thought it went away for good and then....it came back again over the past week or so. Luckily, it doesn't happen as frequently as before, but it is so painful to watch her turn a nasty shade of red-purple as she dry heaves. With our detective skills, we have noticed it comes on at the beginning of almost every feeding and potentially at the end. We have tried every trick under the sun and can't seem to find a way to avoid it. We tried venting her before her feed and after..sometimes in the middle to get out the excess gas she has stored up in her tummy. We tried water before the feed in case the milk was shocking her stomach. We tried giving her a little milk and then stop and let her adjust for a few minutes before continuing in spurts. It is so frustrating since we can't figure out the cause or a remedy. We thought Kalista might be lactose intolerant, like her parents, but it doesn't matter if she's getting milk or soy. Hmmm...I hope our GI appointment at the end of the month with give us some answers.
On the brighter side, Kalista has graduated into her big girl seat (as you can see in the picture above). The toddler seat (Thanks Martinez family!) is a really cushy and posh seat. Kinda wish they made those for adults in cars...oh wait...maybe they have. All in all, Kalista loves her new seat since she can admire the world through the car's moon-roof much better.
