Doctor's Orders

We went to the doctor yesterday for Leah's one month check-up.  She's in the 50th percentile for height, 50th percentile for head circumference, and 10th percentile for weight.  She's 21 inches long and weighs 7 lbs 7 oz - and she's doing great.  Our pediatrician told us that our usual night time routine of taking shifts to stay awake and hold Leah all night, is not normal.  Most babies are sleeping for at least 2 or 3 hour stretches at this point.  We're lucky if she sleeps alone for 45 minutes.  He thinks she has GERD, or acid reflux, which is causing her extreme pain when she is horizontal (hence why she only sleeps when being held and cries the instant we put her down in her bassinet).  My poor baby!  We left the doctor's with a prescription for Zantac and O'Doul's non-alcoholic beer.  Well, the beer is just for me - haha.  I get to drink it while pumping to boost my milk supply.  Even though there's only 0.5% alcohol content in it, I'm still enjoying the idea of drinking after 9 months without a drop.  Pumping suddenly got a lot more fun!
