Getting better

Emerson has finally been feeling back to herself. As her mama this makes me oh so happy! So as I said earlier about her scary hospitalization right after we took her home, she has always spit up, and not just a little. It made me feel bad for her because I felt like she would be spitting up at least an ounce of her bottle every time. Pumping all the time and only to have her spitting it up or throwing all of it up just broke my heart. She was still growing and gaining weight so I figured everything was going well and she wasn't acting too upset. Every once and a while she would do her hurt cry and it would break my heart.

Well about a week ago when I was feeding her she just started screaming and doing her hurt cry. It broke my heart! I had no idea what was going on and nothing would soothe her. She calmed down and then finished her bottle and took a long nap. Then about 2 hours later she starts the same cry again. I took her into the dr and he checked her out and found she had acid reflux and her constant spit up had burnt the back of her throat. Poor girl! He switched her to soy formula and we tried that out as well as 1/2 of a prevacid dissolvable tablet. We went back in because she was still spitting that up now she is on a formula that is designed for babies with colic that is supposed to be very gentle on her little belly. It's so good to see her feeling better and hardly spitting up. I told my sister what we had found out, and she told me (she's getting her nursing degree) in class they were talking about parents who had the same scare as we did with Emerson found that their baby had sever acid reflux! It was comforting to know that we weren't some crazy freak accident and that the two are connected.

Here is a video of her taking her little pill. Its so funny to watch her take it every day. 



Emmy has been so funny lately! Her little personality has been coming out more and more each day. She has been doing this hilarious dance every once and a while. I cant get enough of it! 



The past 3 days have been by far the hardest days on me. I went to the dr on friday and found out that I had the flu. I didn't want to get little Emmy sick so my parents offered to take care of her until I start feeling better. I have just gotten worse it feels like every day and being apart from my little babe has killed me! 

On the positive yesterday Trevor went to see our bishop again (I was sick and didn't want to spread all my nastiness) and he got his temple recommend and we are still working on my sealing cancellation. I can not wait until we are all sealed together for time and all eternity. That was defiantly the best birthday present that I could have ever received. I cant wait until we can start going together. What a sweet blessing it is to be able to be sealed for eternity. I couldn't imagine anyone else I would rather be with for the rest of my forever.

She has been smiling more and more every day. And yes those are socks on her hands, ha no matter how often I clip her nails she manages to scratch her face, and socks are the only thing that stays on her hands :) 

My pretty little girl. 


She LOVES to stand up lately! My mom says it looks so freaky, almost like a south park character haha her upper body is so much bigger than her skinny little legs haha.
