The girls went in today for their one month check up. They are 3 weeks and two days old today. K weighed in at a whoppin' 9lbs 5oz (in the 64th percentile)!! Little N came in at 7lbs 8oz (the 11th percentile).
We talked with the doc about K screaming and crying, more than just the "normal" baby crying. We figured it may be gas pain or reflux. We're supposed to try those M.ylicon drops 4-6 times a day and see if that helps. If not, there is a prescription waiting for us at the pharmacy for some Zantac. The more I think about it, the more the reflux makes sense. She really cries when we lay her down and she stops when we pick her up and she's upright. So much for me thinking she was being spoiled by sleeping on me or in her swing instead of in her crib. Poor widdle girl! We'll see if that's what it is. I hope it is "something" that is fixable. I think she gets really tired too since she doesn't seem to sleep too well at night.
We get to go back in a month or so for their two month check up...and get all their shots :0(
Also while we were there Hubby saw the doc too (he's our family doc). Turns out Hubby has developed a umbilical hernia, probably resulting from his surgeries he's had. He's waiting to hear from the surgeon's office to get an appointment to see if it will go away on it's own or require ANOTHER surgery. Seriously. Does this crap ever end? He just got back to work last week and now he's supposed to take it easy and stay off his feet until he hears back from their office. Excellent. Depending on what they say I may be going back to worker sooner than I wanted to. Oh well.

It's fun to read little updates! Sorry about the reflux! Daphne had that, too. Our doctor had her sleep upright with a Tucker sling, and another friend used the Nap Nanny (which looks way better). It was annoying because we could never lay her flat on her back, but being upright all the time seemed to help. I don't think you're spoiling your little ones. :) I read somewhere that if you respond quickly to their crying the first couple of months, they'll be easier to console when they're older. I believe it, because now Daph is so easy to calm if she's upset. :)
i think you should really check into this swing for the baby with reflux. I heard they work wonders!!
i found one on CL in our area! i hope you can maybe trade a swing or have the money to buy this one off of her its only 90
