This week, I took Madelyn back to the doctor to have a weight check in, because we've noticed that she's been having difficulty keeping her meals down. We were relieved to see that she is back above her birth weight, weighing in at 7 pounds, 10 ounces. The doctor confirmed that she has acid reflux, which up to 50% of newborns have. Unfortunately, Madelyn seems to have a severe case. We hate seeing her in discomfort and pain :( The doctor prescribed some Zantac that we give her twice a day. He said that the medicine will not help the reflux, but will hopefully help her discomfort. She will more than likely outgrow the reflux between 12-18 months. We've had a tough few days (and nights!), so we're hoping it kicks in soon!
On a happy note, here are some beautiful pics that Billy's brother took during a photo shoot in our front yard week one. They are so good! Carter definitely has a talent and he is pursuing his photography career, so we were happy to let him experiment with some shots when he visited! :)
