Better days ahead!

After a couple rants, I am feeling better and I think Lydia is too. As I said Sunday she had the best day she had had in a long while, maybe ever (as i can remember anyway-the last 3 months are blurry). But yesterday and today she has also been doing a little better. She definitely has not been crying as much and I am able to get adequate amounts of food in her. I forgot to mention that I started her on a protein sensitive, colic formula to see if she was being aggravated by something maybe she was allergic to. It is the closest thing to pre-digested formula and that may really be helping as well. The bad part is, it is twice as expensive as the expensive formula she was on. However, I still think reflux is a big issue b/c when I breastfed for 2 1/2 months the feedings were the same experience-which was what led me to pump exclusively and then stop completely (which was heartbreaking for me). So the combination of the formula and the medicine may be helping. I have been praying for that excessively, because I know little Lydia is just waiting to BLOOM into her little bubbly joyful self, she just needs to the pain to ease. I know it will!
