Birthdays and more
Happy Birthday to Sariah! She is officially ONE now!
It's been an exciting week for sure. We started out with her being uber fussy on Sunday. She was running a fever of 101 on Sunday night, so off to the doctor we went Monday morning. As I suspected, she had ANOTHER Urinary Tract Infection... this is her 4th one. She's on her 7th dose of antibiotics since birth, which worries me. Her doctor says that it doesn't matter, but I can't help worrying that she's losing too much of the "good" bacteria with all of this medicine that she's not going to be able to fight off ANYTHING. They gave her a massive antibiotic shot (of the same medicine she was given in the hospital), and then started her on oral meds the next day. Poor kiddo. By the afternoon of her actual birthday (Tuesday) she seemed to be feeling better, thankfully!
We planned a big party with friends and family for Wednesday evening, so Diana (sister in law) and I spent Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon making and decorating a bunch of cakes. :) Pictures will be below! She was so cute eating her little personal cake... and on the plus side, after the sugar crash, she slept better that night then the past 3 previous nights put together. :D Yay!
So, Milestones met since my last milestone post:
1. Crawling
2. Crusing Furniature
3. Eating solids
4. Talking/Babbling up a storm. (She now says Mama, Dada, Wow, and what sounds like "hey")
We made it a full year Breastfeeding! I am SO proud of myself for sticking with it, despite the trials we've faced. She's down to only really nursing at bedtime and sometimes early morning... I'm okay with sticking with the bedtime nursing as it gives us some real "mommy and baby snuggle time". I cherish that time with her!
And now, birthday pics and a video!
