Southern Belle Sunday

We don't have any super glamorous pictures for Miss Mary Frances today, because her little tummy has been hurting her.  It is not very southern belle like to discuss constipation, but this blog is mainly for me to record our life so that over rules Southern Belle Sunday rules.  Sorry baby girl, but while you are a baby constipation is one of the many unflattering topics discussed about you.  She only gets one formula bottle a day so could that be what is causing her constipation?  I don't know, but we have started giving her Miralax as needed, but we can't keep giving it to her every other day.  We also tried Karo, but that didn't work.

This is how she spent most of the day.  Bless her little heart.  In good news she has moved from eating every 3 hours to every 4.  Just in time for me to go back to work.  And that extra hour makes all the difference in the world.  She also started sleeping for 5 hours at a time after her last bottle of the night.  This means I only have to wake up during the middle of the night once.  This is HUGE for my back to work schedule.  She gets a bottle around 9:00, up at 2:00 then up again at 6:00.  I can't complain because that fits into my work schedule perfectly.  She is a MUCH better sleeper than her brother!  I thank God for that and her health every day!
 There was also a lot of this.  Laying on her belly seems to help.  Hopefully we will get her little digestive system straight soon.  And yes, that is a tutu she is wearing.  She said there was no reason she couldn't look fabulous while napping.
