Week 14

This past week has been a difficult one for us...last weekend Aubrey started eating less, anywhere from 1 to 3 ounces at a time. We just assumed that it was because of her acid reflux, so we called the doctor on Monday and she told us to come in. The doctor said she can't increase her Prilosec any more and that we need to go ahead and go to the GI doctor. Then she noticed a pink spot on Aubrey's face and became concerned that she had a sinus infection. She told us to watch it over night and if it spread up to around her eye to call her on her cell. Well that freaked us out...so we watched her all night and while it didn't spread up to her eye she developed a funny pink spot on her arm and little spots on her cheek. So, we took her back to the doc on Tuesday and she said that it is a viral infection, not a sinus infection. Essentially there is nothing we can do about it except wait for it to go away. We made an appointment for the GI doc for Monday, so hopefully we will finally get to the bottom of what is going on with her tummy. Dr. Kennedy was happy with her weight gain though, she weighed eleven pounds, seven ounces. As of right now she seems to be feeling a little better but not quite herself. Needless to say, nobody is getting much sleep at my house and my mom is getting a lot of tearful phone calls from me!

On the up side...Aubrey is growing so fast! She is very alert and constantly looking around, she loves rolling around on the floor, she talks A LOT, and she is sticking everything in her mouth! The other day we saw her trying to get her knee in her mouth...I have to admit, it was pretty amusing! She is starting to hold things in her hands and has gotten really good at holding a ball between her feet and lifting her legs. She is too cute! The past two or three days she has started lifting her head and shoulders and straining to sit up. I swear she is dying to get up and run around! She also loves looking at picture books, especially ones that are brightly colored. She is changing and becoming more independent with every day.
