omaha or bust


unfortunatly though we went to omaha, it was a bust. cool zoo, but bad timing. alaina, getting her first tooth, kylee... just grouchy (not sure why, just one of those days i guess.) and the zoo was packed. as i am sitting here writing kylee is telling me that she wants to go back.....hmmm let me think....no, not for a while. maybe when we have lots of money to spend on concessions and souvenirs (boy, i wonder who's daughter she is???), that would have been kylee's idea of a great trip. she wasn't too thrilled when i pulled out the lunch bag with homeade turkey sandwiches, apples and pretzels....."but they have popcorn!" lainey liked being outside, just a little messed up with the whole feeding thing. it doesn't look like she has a milk allergy after all, which really sucks because i wasn't able to handle the soy so i had stopped breastfeeding to give her soy formula (we thought she was improving). well, after a few days she was still spitting up a ton. now she is on regular formula because i have nothing left to offer her which makes me so sad. i feel so bad for her, spitting up everyday all day long has to hurt, not to mention annoying. we are at the end of our rope trying to figure out what to do. poor baby!

man, i didn't mean for this post to be so.... "ugh!" sorry.

it's not an "ugh" post when you're being honest. it's good to share the realities of motherhood. it's more honest. i will continue to pray for your family and for that sweet baby's spitting habits. it's so frustrating when you don't know the "why" behind it all!!

one good thing, though? look at that sweet girl's smile. it doesn't get much better than that! :)

Ditto to everything Donna said on her comments. One of these days her spitting up will go away, she will have a mouth full of teeth and she will be as happy as can be. Keep up the good work. You're a good mommy! I couldn't agree with her more on the smile. Both the girls have great smiles.
Love you four,
