Baby love
What a week er, two weeks its been! So much has happened. Among the sleep overs, birthday parties, various chores and Mike being home on break, Kailey has been one little fussy baby. After talking to her Dr. I finally decided to have her tested for acid reflux. She has been very drooly, fussy, has the hiccups a lot, and seems to swallow frequently too. The Dr. called for a 18 hour ph study, and an ultrasound. Damn. It was a long 18 hours in the hospital while she was having her test. Both Bryce and Allysa had reflux, but they threw up. A.lot. Bryce had excessive periodic breathing too. Baby Love, has periodic breathing too. Quite a bit for her age too... our Dr. being on the safe side prescribed an apnea monitor for her to wear when she is sleeping. It has two electrodes attached to a belt that she wears around her chest. It monitors her heart rate and her breathing. Hopefully she won't have any episodes... Our Dr. also put her on Zantac and Reglan (no idea if I spelled that right). Which should stop the reflux, and hopefully heal any damage that may have been done to her esophagus.
Baby love has some new hand knits to show off, After picking up some cotton at the LYS two weeks ago I casted on for little hat
(clicky on all pictures to embiggen)
Stats:
Pattern- Ruffled tulip hat by fiber trends
Yarn- 1.5 balls Paton's cotton worsted white, approx. 2 yards Patton's martinique in pink.
Needles- size 7 Clover dpns
Started- April 22, 2007
Finished- April 25, 2007
Notes- I used white for the whole hat, Instead of using the pink for the heart pattern. I used purl sts instead. And pink for the tie. Next time, I will in large the heart pattern and knit the heart patten with all purl sts. Its a little big on her right now, but she will grow into it. She is already 12lbs 5oz!
Baby love looks so sweet in Daddy's arms. (Daddy didn't know I was taking pictures, hehe!)
Baby love has a few MDK bibs to show off too,
Silly Mommy put the button hole on the wrong side of one! The buttons came from a tin of buttons I found in the basement of our home. I don't know how long they have been down there, it was a great find!
Now that Baby love is napping I'm going to go take a shower, I really should clean (ick), or knit (oh knit!), or maybe nap... mmm... nap....

Ah sorry to hear Baby Love isn't feeling 100% but at 12 lbs. plus the reflux doesn't seem to be affecting her appetite :) The hat is too cute and what a cutie cuddling up to Daddy. Boy does she have him wrapped around her finger. LOL! Now that spring has finally sprung here's hoping that life returns to some semblance of normal

I want to nap, too... should be working on my thesis, but the couch looks so nice right now... zzzzzz...
Hope Baby Love is doing better soon! My nephew (18 months) is having an operation today, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him.

*squeeeee* She is just too beautiful. *sigh* You have such a lovely family. I hope she is on the mend quickly.

those bibs are so freakin adorable, and the hat, well that just goes without saying!
Posted by: keanalee | 05/04/2007
Oh - I hope the very best for all of you - and you should take a nap if you need one.
Posted by: Anni | 05/04/2007
she is so cute in her little hat! I love the baby and dad pictures they really are sweet. I hope the baby is feeling better soon!

awwww! So cute! I love the embroidery on the bib. Not to worry, we see lots and lots of kids with reflux and it usually is very easily managed! Looks like you all are doing just fine.

Awww, she is too cute in that little cotton hat! Sorry that her tummy isn't behaving. My husband and his brother had pyloric stenosis which made them yak constantly--that might just be a male genetic trait, but mayne worth checking out.

Adorable hat! It fits her perfect! And look at those cute bibs with the little flowers!!! SO CUTE!
Posted by: Petra | 05/05/2007
The bibs are so cute, especially with the embroidery.
I think I would nap if I were you!
Posted by: Jess | 05/05/2007
Nap for sure, more important than knitting right now. I hope Baby Love is doing better. I love the hat, I'll have to track down that pattern for Elliotte, she'd look cute in it...Mom's doing better...ciao
Posted by: rositta | 05/05/2007
Nap. That's quite an ordeal! Yikes. But hopefully she'll be all better soon.
She's so darling! And so darling in that hat! Awww.

Holy cow that is a cute baby. So sorry for all the medical trauma. Hope you all can get it sorted and the baby can get better soon!

She is so cute. How old is she now????
Posted by: Robin | 05/07/2007
Hope she feels better. A sick baby is no fun. Love the bibs - from Mason-Dixon, right?
Posted by: Mary | 05/08/2007
Oh the poor little sweetheart (and mom and dad too!) I hope the new med's help the little darling feel better and that you can all get some rest.
