Today has been rough. Scratch that, these past couple of weeks have been rough. Per my handy dandy Fitbit, I got four hours and twenty five minutes of sleep last night...and I am feeling it. Madi had a rough day today. Poor thing can't catch a break with eating. We are now on two reflux meds, formula only until dairy is out of my system, anti gas drops, anti colic drops, and two probiotics...and still. Having. Tummy. Troubles. It breaks my heart to see my girl in pain when she eats. The doctor ordered a swallow study to get more information, but the earliest we can get in is October 26th. We could use some prayers that some of this mess works itself out before then. We have good days that make me think we are in the clear...but other days I feel like we are back at square one and barely eating.
In more fun news, we paid the NICU a visit this weekend. If I can't use my dairy-full milk for my sweet girl, we felt like it was best to donate it to sweet babies who need it in the NICU. It was fun seeing some familiar faces and more fun to leave as a family knowing we wouldn't be back in a couple of hours.
Since we ended up cancelling our trip to San Antonio, we were also able to get a few things done around the house...and Jason and Brady got to take some much needed naps.
This week, we are focusing on being intentional in our family time. I'm super excited about a surprise we've been planning for Mr. Brady for tomorrow...I can't wait to get him ready for school tomorrow only to tell him we won't be going to school and that we will be going to the state fair. He's at a great age to enjoy the kids activities, so I can't wait to spend some quality family time with just the four of us there!
Oh, one more fun fact...I got to spend my first couple of hours with some wonderful mom friends last night...the first time without Madi. I only got a couple of text messages from Jason during the dinner and they were both to tell me that the kiddos were stil alive...joke...that they were both bathed and semi down for the night.
Anyway, on four hours of sleep this blog probably sounds fantastic and makes lots of sense and I'm forgetting all of the things I was supposed to be updating everyone on. Pray for my girl...this mama is getting tired. I need my girl to eat normally, eat enough, and not be in pain...and I need sleep.
