we are home from the doctor and kenzie is napping. i wanted to seize this oppurtunity and scrap a layout i've had in my head all day. it will be called blah blah blah, lol. thanks ronalyn. lol.
kenzie's doctor is thinking along the same lines that i am. that her formula isnt sitting too well with her. possible lactose intolerance. i had a allergy to milk when i was a baby. and also, all of my brothers and sisters as well as my mom are now lactose intolerant (developed it as an adult). starting today we have switched her formula to a soy based one. we will try that for a week to see how it goes. if it doesnt help, we will switch to an elemental one, enfamil neutragem (same one kim). so i'm hoping that this will bring out that sweet little baby that i KNOW is in there (though i've yet to see her, lol).

it was a set up
okay, yesterday (monday actually) was a set up. za'kenzie had such a nice day! i thought we were on a roll! i got my hopes up. high. too high. too soon. it was all a set up. God must have known that today was going to be an especially rough day with her (as well as mikayla) so he gave me a bit of a reprieve yesterday to re energize myself and be ready for today. its a good thing too. other wise i might have crumbled under the pressure of it all. i did shed a tear or two though. i do feel so much better now though. mikayla and me sat down and had a long talk and all is on a good path there. parenting is such a hard job. the hardest thing that i have ever done. and, i have decided that enough is enough, i'm calling in the morning to get kenzie in to see the doctor. i know that babies cry. but this girl just cries too much, i seriously think that something is wrong with her. not seriously wrong, just not right. i'm thinking maybe acid reflux, a milk allergy or maybe just gas. on top of that i wonder if there is something else going on, maybe an ear infection or may be even colic. we shall see. the funny thing will be me explaining why i want to bring her in to the doctor. uhm yeah, can i bring my child in . what seems to be the problem? she cries. ma'am that's what babies do. crazy.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
ahhhh. today ziven and me celebrate our eight year wedding anniversary. sometimes it feels like we have been together forever (10 years now) and then again sometimes it seems like it all started just yesterday! 10 years and 3 children later here we are. we have really settled in to this life together. i feel so blessed. this weekend, my sister (her brave soul) has volunteered to keep our children (all three of them and she has three of her own) overnight so that we can do some major celebrating! we wont know how to act! lol!

such a nice day
ahh. today was such a nice day with za'kenzie. she barely fussed at all. she slept in till after 9 and woke up in such a pleasant mood. smiling at me. a few little coos. it was such a great way to start the day. i really tried not to get my hopes up to high because for the last four days she has cried and cried and cried. extremely irritable. she would go hours (and hours) without sleeping because she was fussing. we had finally decided that if she was not better by today we would be calling the doctor. not sure what our complaint would have been, lol. i have suspected though that she is has a milk allergy (which i had as an infant) or that she has acid reflux. the girl spits up ALOT! and spitting up is really an understatement. it happens with EVERY feeding and usually several times. i've noticed today that she has not spit up at all and she has also not been fussy. so i wonder if these two are linked. setting aside her craziness for the last few days, she has always been a very fussy baby. very spoiled. has to be held. clingy. that makes her sound like a terrible baby. she's not. though i would not subject anyone else to her, lol. but today, a little break from the usual continous crying, was very nice. i think i fell in love with her just a little bit more today, truly.

so really what is the difference between a baby that has colic and one that is just fussy? za'kenzie is a very fussy baby. she will never roll over or sit up or crawl, because when she is awake we are always holding her!!! if we try to put her down she is usually very upset. just now i calmed her , put her in her bouncy seat, she started to cry, took her back out calmed her, in , cry, out, in, cry, out - rocked to sleep. she is starting to smile a bit so thats somewhat of a bright spot. i just wonder if she's going to always be this serious and this fussy.
