Last night was a really rough night. The munchkin had some tummy issues and did not eat much or sleep much. So today I pretty much slept the day away because she took a whole bottle this morning and we both slept from 7:30 to 10:30 and then again from about 11:30 to 2:30. It felt so great to get that extra sleep though. I’m thankful that I don’t have a job to be at and that I am able to do that. It helps tremendously!
This afternoon I had to go to the dentist to get a crown put on a tooth I had worked on a week after I had Zoey. Well, I’ve been having a lot of cold/heat sensitivity issues and so now I have to call a specialist to get a root canal done. I was not happy! I teared up when he told me that. Partially because of how expensive it is and partially because I hate the dentist office and it causes horrible anxiety for me.
Today was the first time I’ve driven a car in a month and the first time I’ve had to leave Zoey. Luckily I was leaving her with Gene so I didn’t feel anxious or anything. I was a little sad to leave them and I did miss them so much but I wasn’t gone for more than 1 1/2 hours so it wasn’t too awful.
Tomorrow we’re going to have a busy day. We’re supposed to go up to Gene’s work in the morning and then stop by Babies R Us. At some point I think we’re going to Sam’s Club with my mom. I need a few household items like trash bags, paper towels, granola bars, etc.
Well, I’m gonna go take a bath now. I haven’t had a bath in over a month and I’m really looking forward to a little soak in the tub. I’m hoping to get into bed as soon as Zoey goes down tonight and try to get some rest. I hope she has a better night tonight. I feel so bad when her tummy is obviously bothering her and there is only so much I can do. Right now we’re on Good Start formula and we are going to try Earth’s Best Organic formula next. If that doesn’t work (I hope it does) then we’ll go back to Enfamil because I think maybe it was starting to work better. This Good Start stuff is crap for her. It has made her poop volume increase a LOT and has also made it a really gross green color and it smells horrible.

Tummy issues with babies is the pits… I absolutely hate nothing more than when Addison has tummy troubles. :(
I hope you can get the formula situation worked out soon. And seriously, does the formula poop not want to make you gag? I could tolerate the smell of the breast milk poop just fine, as well as the coloring. As soon as we went to a full formula diet- yuck! Addison is on soy formula, so it’s like 10x the grossness of regular ‘ol milk based. :)
