Poor little creature

Yesterday my little Leyla violently spit up quite a large amount of milk right in the middle of nursing. And then she did it again the next time I tried to feed her, and again the time after that. So I called the doctor this morning after she did it yet again during her morning feeding. We went to the doctor and he prescribed some reflux medicine and suggested that I continue feeding her from a bottle for a little while (after I was covered in baby throw up this morning, I decided to pump my milk and try feeding her from a bottle since this was only happening during feedings). She hasn't spit up on me since, so something must be working. And she's asleep right now, unlike last night when I was up until 1:30 in the morning with her.

In good news, a very kind man fixed my clothes dryer this morning! Last week I put an ad on Craig's list looking for an indoor clothes dryer (the wooden kind, not an electric dryer). Well, no one responded to the wooden dryer, but some random guy offered to fix my dryer for me free of charge! And he followed through on his promise. He showed up this morning with the part in hand, and he replaced the heating element, and even gave Miguel some job contacts! Turns out there are still a few good people out there.

Yesterday I received a small package from my mother which had, among other things, several necklaces for Chloe. I put the necklaces in Chloe's toy box last night when she was asleep. Since Miguel goes to bed much earlier than I do, he's been getting up with Chloe in the morning so I can get an extra hour of sleep. This is how Chloe greeted me this morning:With the exception of the necklace on her head, she put on all the jewelry herself. What a diva.

I'm So glad you're getting some relief with Leyla! That amount of violent projectile vomiting just didn't seem right to me. Pumping and using the bottle isn't all bad.
Don't tell anyone, but the ole softy Chuck bought those necklaces especially for Miss Chloe. Yeah, he doesn't like babies... Course Chloe is now in the more interactable phases so too bad she's so darn far away. But, thank goodness for the blog - she seems closer.
sorry I didn't get to talk to you last night, I'll be sure to call and catch up. Love You!

Oh, and like I said the other night, Leyla looks different in every pic! She looks so cute sleeping there :0)

The vomiting doesn't sound very fun. I bet it just breaks your heart to see that little angel throwing up and feeling bad. Those necklaces look fun and that is so funny she immediately got them out the next morning.
