So i have not fell off the face of the earth, i just never have any time to sit down and post all these pics!!! So i have to wake up early on a saturday morning while Justin is sleeping with the baby to get these things done. I actually enjoy the peace and quiet for a minute!!! It has been a fun last couple of weeks and definately a rough couple of weeks too. I swear being a mom is a complete guessing game. One minute Brea is doing good, the next minute she is screaming bloody murder. We had got her projectile vomiting and acid reflux under control pretty good and then started all the allergies to what i was eating. For about two weeks, Brea would just scream straight for three to four hours every night no matter what we did. We tried everything and her stomach would just growl and churn and she would scream in so much pain. Day after day of this and you start to lose it i swear!!! Finally after seeing the doctor they told me i could not eat anything, so i seriously stopped eating just about everything including all dairy products, whole grains, nuts, corn, citrus fruits, strawberries, chocolate, tomatoes, and eggs. After a week of doing this she was a completely different baby and so happy and finally smiling like crazy!! She just felt so much better. Well i was glad she was feeling better, but it is miserable to not be able to eat anything and i was on to my second infection, and so i decided i was done and was going to try formula. So i start with a soy based formula and she drinks all and about five minutes later projects it all over me, her and the bed (which i had just cleaned for the fiftieth time i swear). So i wait an hour and try the milk based formula, she drinks two ounces and we go down stairs and i am carrying her in one arm and getting dinner ready with the other and up comes all the formula all over the kitchen floor, counter, and dinner rolls i am making. So at this point i call the doctor and they say bring her in. So i bring her in and they give me two other formulas including Neutramagen which is suppossed to be great. So i get home, feed her an ounce and up it all comes all over my stairs, Stinky, smelly formula all over my carpet. So at this point she has not eaten all day and i am giving her Pedialyte so the poor thing does not dehydrate. I slowly work her into drinking neutramagen again and she throws it up all over Justin, herself, and the kitchen floor again. So it is now midnight and she has had one wet diaper and is screaming in hunger. So i gave her my milk and she drank it just fine and went to bed. So a few days later i tried another formula which she imediately projected all over me and the bed. So pretty much i am stuck pumping the rest of my life!!!! We have tried everything. Carol brought over mint leaves to boil in water and give to her to settle her stomach but nothing seems to work. Instead she threw up all over Grandma and on top of Chaco. It was so discusting. The poor dog smelled like sour breast milk and i wanted to throw up, so in to the tub he went. So i have given up on formula for now and am still not eating all the things on the list and she is doing good. And she finally pooped after a week of not pooping after giving her formula!!! So it has been lots of fun over here at my house and it smells great too!!!! Knock on wood, she has been doing pretty good, so i am happy!!! I started eating whole grains yesterday so we will see how she handles them, hopefully good so i can start eating a few more things in my diet!!!! So besides stomach issues, i do love being a mom. It is definately a learning experience and i am hoping my next baby does not have to be in so much pain all the time, but at least hopefully i will know more then.

It is so fun now that Brea is smiling so much. She loves to just lay on the ground and kick around and smile and make noises. Which i am so happy about because i have not been able to set her down until this last week or she would scream. So she has been permanently attached to my hip, so this is a big deal. We had her two month appointment this week which was so sad of course. Poor little thing had no idea what was going to happen and was just smiling and happy and then all the shots came and she went bright red and could not even get a sound out for five or ten seconds, and then came the blood curdling scream!!! I felt so bad, i wanted to cry. But she survived and got Tylenol around the clock. She is growing, which the doctor says he is shocked because of how much she throws up. She weighs 10 lbs 3.5 oz and is 21 inches long. So she is short and stubby!!!! She is my chubby little baby and i love it!!! I am sad to be putting away all her newborn clothes that don't fit anymore!!! She is growing up so fast!!!

Baby Tatum had her blessing on fathers day, so that was a fun day. Justin loves being a daddy and is so proud of his little girl. He asks me everyday if i still think she looks like him, which i tell him yes everyday. It was a good fathers day and the blessing was very nice. Its so fun having Tatum and Brea be the same age, they are so cute together and we are always taking pictures of them. They were so cute on the Fourth of July in thier jean skirts and red, white,and blue!!!

Well we are going to Justins 10 year reunion today so i better get off and start getting ready. Who knows how long it will be until i post again, hopefully soon!!!!
