Go Giants! Well, here is another update on our beautiful Mia Noelle! Let's see, we are doing better on the alimentum formula. She has not had a bad crying in pain spell for about 3 weeks now. She still gets very fussy, mostly at night from about 7-10ish. There is basically nothing we can do to make her happy. After researching "colic in infants", I do believe Mia can be considered colic, unfortunately. This is something she will just have to outgrow and formula does not help this. It is unknown exactly why it happens, maybe from an immature neurological system and gut. One may cause the other to be irritated and vice versa. I feel though at least we have the "gas" issue under control. She does seem like she is processing this formula much better, so this is great. We just have to be creative on ways to soothe her when she goes through these bouts of fussiness and crying.
Besides this, we were at the pediatricians about a week and a half ago and she weighed 9 pounds 7ounces! Little porky! We go again this Friday for a follow up to make sure the alimentum is better for her. I do believe she will be over the 10 pound mark! Don't want to see her get bigger, but at the same time, the bigger she gets, the faster she will get out of this phase because her systems will be more mature obviously. It can last until 2-3 months. Talking to some people, they have told me "you will have a different baby after 2-3 months" We'll see! ha ha
Besides this, she is most enjoyable. She has begun to smile, not too often, but it seems to be deliberate, not just twitching of her facial muscles. This is the best! She has begun to "coo" and talk back, and this, of course, is awesome as well.
She sleeps about 2-3 hours on average. Sometimes she snacks and other times has slept for about 4 hours! We do not have a schedule at all yet, but hopefully in the next few weeks, we will begin some sort of routine! ha ha She is great at night, generally just gets up to feed and then goes right back to sleep again. So we are not complaining here. The sleep deprivation has caught up with me and I slept all day when she slept today. I understand now why they say you need to do this! They sure do run the show!
This past weekend we vistited my parents in Monroe with Mia. It was her first visit there! We had a great time and it was great to see Mia in the house that I grew up in :):)
We know her presence brought the Giants good luck! We will be able to tell her that her first Superbowl was amazing!
I have posted some recent pics! I think this is basically it. Talk to you all again soon!
Love, The Bellomos :):)
