Checking In

There has been a lot of buzz lately on the blogs about those not posting so I was feeling guilty and thought I had better check in. So here I am... This will probably be a rather boring post because there doesn't seem to be much to tell and I can't put any pictures up. I lost the charger for my camera so it is dead until I order a new one. This seems to happen to me a lot...I think there is a theif lurking around in my house.

Kiddie update...Bella is going to be 2 next month!!! I can't believe it. We are having a birthday party on March 8th and then going to Disneyland the next weekend, of course. She is so pumped because her best friend seems to be Mickey these days...just ask anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes with her. I made the mistake of telling her that we were going so everyday when she wakes up, she seems to think she will be going to Disneyland to ride the teacups. Word of warning to those with small children...never tell them about something this far in advance. I have learned my lesson! Other than that, she is doing really well. Talking non stop about everything. She informed me just yesterday that she wants to be famous and her favorite thing to say lately seems to be "That is so cute" and "Oh my gosh!" I am thinking she must hear that a lot. She is still completely obsessed with her sister and can't wait for her to be big enough to play with her...she also tells me this on a regular basis.

Speaking of Kendall, she is getting so big...and cute! She will be 2 months old on the 10th. I can't believe it has been 2 months already! She is starting to smile and coo which is always a lot of fun. Her personality is starting to develop and she is such a sweetie. She has become our little cuddler. On a not so happy note, she is having a lot of digestive problems as Grandmom mentioned. Since she was born she was having problems feeding and always seemed to be in pain when she was eating. She would throw up her entire bottle before it was digested. We talked to her doctor about it and he put her on a special (expensive!) formula called Alimentum and that seemed to be helping for a couple of days. Her doctor also scheduled an upper GI and that seemed to be normal. Since she was still having a lot of problems we also switched her bottle and added cereal to her bottle to weight down her feedings and that didn't work either. Last week, he put her on a medicine to treat possible reflux. That is also not working, she actually seems to be worse. We are sort of running out of options and the next step is to send her to a specialist so please be in prayer for her. The poor baby has been miserable all of her life...the whole 2 months! Now that she is smiling, it is very obvious that she really wants to be happy and enjoy life but she just can't because of this. Please pray that they can find out what is going and what treatment would be best so Kendall can be a happy baby!

I think that is it for us...once I get a new charger I will post a few new pictures!
