Two Weeks Post- op!

Avery is doing so well. It's like we have a new baby in the house. For the first time in months she is happy to sit and relax by herself and loves to lay on the floor. Reflux just may be the culprit of all the insane screaming around here. We've only had normal fusses around here lately. In fact, I didn't even know what Avery's normal fussing sounded like until this week. It's so cute, it's a whiny - husky cry back and forth to let me know things are not exactly how she'd like them. I love it!
Avery still prefers only mom to feed her. She will let Jeff do it, but it's a struggle. For Example, this evening when she wouldn't take the bottle from Jeff and she was fussing, I went over to them and just rubbed Avery's' head and took the bottle from Jeff and began to feed her as he was still holding her. She took it immediately. Little Stinker!
I left her the other night for a school meeting and she was fussy for Jeff, but I was happy to not find Jeff pacing the floor with a whaling "little red tomato" in his arms. This is the nick name we gave her b/c she would scream so hard that she was red.. like a ripe o'l tomato.
I guess I am still leery that we could actually be in the clear and that we have this figured out. I also feel sooooooooo incredibly bad that we didn't figure this out sooner.
Avery is officially out of the No' No's, even at night. She just got her binki back tonight too. She's in heaven. I am not letting her go to sleep with it though- she's been doing just fine without it at night and I don't want the middle of the night binki game to start.

Well Avery, you sure have made us feel like new parents this time around. We never really felt like " new parents" the first time around with Maddie so the jokes on us! :O) We love you to pieces and are so excited that you joined our family. It's awesome to have a baby in the home. We hope and pray we've figured out what was hurting you so that you can just enjoy life as any other baby should.

Love you Avery Cakes!



Looks like a chunky monkey!!!! Seriously, we thinks she looks a bit like curious george.... in a cute way of course. Keep up the good eating Avery, I think you might be on track to move into the 50% at your next well check.
