So I made up a song that I sing to her when I am changing her called Junk in the Trunk (Jack hates it - lol). It is a simple stupid little song that gets her smiling like mad. I open her diaper and sing..."looking for junk in the trunk..junk in the trunk..junk in the trunk...do you have junk in your trunk??" Stupid I know, but you should see the reaction I get everytime. I actually cannot believe I am writting this.
She is having a really good day and is totally content so I am hoping her yucky diaper and fussiness last night was something I may have ate that she didn't like. I know she is super sensitive to onions or if I have too much diary so I will have to be more careful as to what goes in me. If she is still having 'issues' I guess I will have to try a different formula (supplementing). Nestle Good Start has really peaked my interest but if her problem is a milk sensitivity than I am best to use something like Isomil. There are so many choices out there it is hard to research everything and find it impossible to find two people that say the same thing for or against a formula brand. I have her on Similca LF (lactose free) but I read that this is only to be used for 2-4 weeks...yikes. I know for a fact that the regular Similac is not good for her. It took a while (probably due to the fact that she is getting breast milk as well) for symptoms to occur but when they did surface it was in the form of very red inflamed diaper rash and a ton of spit up. It only took 24 hours off the stuff to get her little bum back to normal and the spit up to lessen. Tonight will tell the story.
She had a bath today and we are so lucky she is soooo good getting srubbed up. She loves her hair being washed and it is so cute with her little sudsy hair do. She was a good girl and didn't mess her towel up either. She smells so nice after a bath. She is really dry right now but so am I so it must be the yucky weather.
I cannot wait for this excersise on base to be over so I actually see Jack. He is on nights and it leaves me feeling like a single Mom. I totally feel for those single Moms out there that is for sure. I guess I wasn't aware of how much he actually did to help me out. Tomorrow is the last day and he is back on a normal shift. I wish I would have taken a picture of the two of them chillin' together. He had bare feet on the ottoman and had her sitting in front of him with her little bare feet dangling and she had her arms out to the sides with a content look...it was hilarious looking. She loves her toes exposed that is for sure. She also likes foot massages - what gal doesn't though.
I promise to include some pictures for the nest post.
