Shelby turned FOUR months old this week. It has been a long, crazy road. After four months of lots of crying and wondering what is going on with her...we find a solution. The doctor said she may be allergic to dairy. So me (being a lover of cheese) decided there was no way I could give up dairy...so I had to give up nursing :( It's funny how when they tell you that you can't do it anymore, you just want to do it more. So Wednesday we gave Shelby the 'special' formula the dr. gave us to try. SUCCESS! She doesn't cry and scream anymore. I am so glad for her AND our family because we don't have to be sad for her anymore. We are still quite busy, but just with a calmer baby that can be put down. It has been kinda nice. Besides the fact that the formula STINKS so incredibly bad. I'm serious!! Shelby stinks, I stink, everything smells of this nastiness. I'm hoping to find a different kind that will maybe not stink quite so bad. (I think it smells like dog food, Mike says it's like fertilizer, I'd have to say either one is real yucky) :) So besides having to stop nursing instantly, we are very content. We'll see how our holidays go with a 'calm' baby, 'potty-trained' toddler, and 'excited about christmas' four year old! We have some busy days planned but it should all be way fun!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
