4 months

Emme's third month and the start of the fourth has consisted of continuous ear infections (most likely due to her reflux), a trip to the ER, eating real food, and my two favorites... sleeping 12hrs at night and giggling.  

We're hoping the ear infections are over.  It took 24 days on Amoxicillan and 5 days on Arythomyocin sp? to take away the infections in both ears.  Because of her reflux she gets milk trapped in her nose which we think is causing fluid in her ears.  Poor girl!

Out of the blue Emme became super cranky and upset and was screaming for an hour straight.  This is very unlike her.  She finally had a bowel movement and was happy as a clam.  When I went to change her diaper she had blood mixed in mucous and poo.  Sorry for the gross details.  I called the Dr. and she said to take her to Primary Children's ER.  We got right in and actually had a good experience there.  I've heard horror stories.  Emme giggled her head off while the Dr. was checking her stomach and the nurse that checked her blood pressure said babies always cry for her, but Emme just stared her down.  She smiled while they did x-rays and everyone loved her.  I'm sure most babies are pretty sick though.  Anyway, we found out she has an issue with protein in milk, maybe an allergy and had to change to a formula Gregg calls "liquid gold."  It's the smallest and most expensive formula as far as we have seen, but we would do anything for our little girl.
