In the latest cage match, you can see two awesomely bad competitors go head-to-head. Please let me know if you are unwilling/unable to submit similar photos. I have one other competitor after these.
In the world of babies, Riley had a puke explosion yesterday. She looked a little red and agitated, so I tried to put her in her little chair to relax. I went downstairs, and heard Laurin scream for me to come back upstairs. When I got up there, Riley had chunks of food streaming out of her mouth and nose (really freaky when puke comes out her nose). It was all over her outfit and chair. She soaked the back of her head somehow. I really wish we had taken a picture, but we were actually concerned parents for once, not laughing voyeurs. With this new formula, the food sometimes comes out as chunks. Other than that explosion she is still doing better than with breastmilk/regular formula. Both ladies are still sleeping better and talking a lot. We will record a 'conversation' soon as we havent had video in some time. There was a good one this morning.
Here you see a perfect example of the magic I would like to see in the cage match. Notice the priceless combination of a spiral perm and a banana clip. You cant beat that. I should have some equally awesome pictures of myself soon. Thank you Katie for so willingly offering these pictures of Laurin.
We have seen somewhat of a trend in sleep over the past week. Riley has had a ~6 hours session to start the night the last three nights. She is also doing much better with her eating. She doesnt spit up much more than Sanna as of today. That is allowing us to put her down and get back to sleep much faster. We have only been getting up 1-2 times during the night/baby. By night I mean between 10 and 7. Laurin's night ends around 10Am, but that is mostly due to the fact that she hasnt been getting to sleep at a reasonable hour. She has been drinking caffeine like its going out of style. I guess she needs to make up for lost time. We credit the wonderful people over at Enfamil for producing their rice-based formula. Its great going down, but a bit of mess on the back end. We have lost that great baby poop consistency. Fewer blowouts though. Check Riley out hangin in the Bumbo.
Is think I am bored with the current iteration of the cage match. Emma the Child is clearly the cutest thing besides our girls (I didnt want to hurt Emma's feelings by pitting against the dynamic duo). I am thinking of taking this in one of two related directions. I am thinking either "most awesome hair cage match" or "best senior picture" cage match. This might require some of you luddites to use a scanner, but it would be sweet. I will happily put myself (from either my long hair phase or in the leather arm chair senior picture pose) against Laurin (definitely from her big hair phase). I would have to do that against Laurin's very strong will. Let me know what everyone thinks about the potential directions.
So, it doesnt appear that the first round of craniosacral therapy had a major effect on Riley's reflux. She is more alert these days, but that could be a product of her continued mental development. We also switched her to a formula with a rice component that has seemed to help a little. With that being said, we are looking for additional solutions to help our little Riley. I found an interesting article on acupuncture used for this purpose. The girls dont seem to like needles, so I am a little hesitant. Has anyone out there used acupuncture to cure such an affliction? I found a guy downtown that will do it for a reasonable price.
We spent the weekend at Smith manor in Grand Rapids. I had a rugby game against the Grand Rapids team and we need to pick up furniture in South Haven, so off we went. Excitement included someone breaking their leg in the rugby game (on the other team), lots of smiling from the little ladies, some diaper blowouts, and a trip out to a bar for us. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Smith for giving us a night out. By night out, I mean we left at 6 and were home by 9. The rugby team has a social after every game with the other team. If Laurin or my mother were more willing/able to use a camera we would have good action shots from the rugby game. Sadly, all we were left with are more pictures of the ladies. Lame.
So, we had an action-packed day. First up, the pediatrician. Our little beefies weighed in a 10lb 14oz (Sanna), and 11lb 5 oz (Riley). So, Sanna is catching up. She had been consistently 1 Lb behind. The girls were given a clean bill of health and vaccinated. They are moving nicely up the middle of the growth chart. Riley was given some special formula with rice in it that supposedly adds weight to the liquid. That is supposed to help keep things down. We inquired about the craniosacral therapist, and were give the green light as long as it was all about touch/massage, not manipulation and stretching. We then raced across town to the home of the craniosacral therapist. Arriving just in time, we entered with extreme caution. The therapist was very nice and laid back. I cant really say what she was doing, but it appeared as it she was just lightly touching various parts of her body and feeling for blockages in her chi or something. She found some in her colon, thorassic spine, and vagus nerve. She supposedly 'released' them, but I dont know how. Riley slept through a good portion of the treatment. When we got home, Riley slept for about 5 hours, ate, the slept for another 6-7 hours. I was not so lucky throughout the night. She seemed to be calmer and more alert, but who knows. We will see how things progress with her eating. First meal was good, next two not so much. The therapist thought it might take 48-72 hours to take effect. We will probably go back next week to follow up.
So, she is still alive and possibly better off. We will see.
There has been a lot of concern expressed over our impending use of craniosacral therapy on Riley. Our goal is to see if it helps with her rather extreme reflux. We plan to discuss the decision with our pediatrician to determine if it is 100% safe and potentially effective. All the reading I have done describe it as a gentle technique that is perfectly safe on any age/size person. I have yet to come across a negative article, but will keep looking in the spirit of due diligence. In order to calm everyone's fears, I am posting a video of the world's preeminent craniosacral therapist, Dr. Terry Bollea. Here he demonstrates some of his most effective techniques on a patient.
