A little trouble with the baby
The past few weeks, the wee one has been crying a heck load more than usual. We had a doctors appointment on Friday, and he gave us his professional opinion. She's hungry. :/ Apparently my body (who had problems giving birth to her in the first place) just doesn't produce enough milk anymore. I'm not completely surprised by this, as I haven't had that "full" feeling in my mammories for about a month now. So...she has now started solid food. Carrots, to be precise. My clothes, her clothes, and my hubby's clothes are now spotted with orange! We're supposed to do this for a week, then start her on some different food to test for allergies. Also if no change has happened in her eating/sleeping cycle (she eats once an hour and wakes up at night every hour to two hours to be fed) then we contact the doctor again to see if the problem may be somewhere else. He stated that she is healthy in all other aspects, she's just underweight. *sigh* I keep saying I was never meant to be a mother, and this is another of those indications, but I suppose if I wasn't supposed to be a mother then I wouldn't be one, right?
On a side note, the visit with my parents went well and they miss her a lot. We'll be flying back to America next year for her one year birthday, so then everyone else gets to meet her.
