Well after 3 weeks of not being able to locate our camera, I found it today. It was hiding in Brie's diaper bag that we rarely use. Just in the nick of time for our summer bbq tomorrow. It should be alot of fun and it looks like the weather might actually hold out. It was originally looking like it was going to be a rainy weekend, but now the skies are clear.
Both of our little munckins are doing well. We had another ultrasound on Wednesday to see how our little girl is growing and she is right on target. She weighs 1 lb 7 oz, so just a few ounces shy of where Brie was when she was born. My next ultrasound is in 3 weeks so hopefully she will continue to grow and thrive.
Brie has also been doing well in the weight gain department. Yesterday she was 20 lbs 12 oz. She is still a little pill to feed and will not eat at the table, but at least we are getting enough calories in her to get her growing again. She saw the GI doctor here yesterday. She was 29 inches tall and was 21.4 on their scale, but that was fully dressed. He wants us to cut out all dairy and soy for the next 3 months, do a milk scan to check gastric emptying and do some blood work to test for celiac, cystic fibrosis, and lactose intolerance. If everything comes back normal we will confirm that it is behavioral and go back to feeding therapy. Marcus and I are pretty reluctant to stop all dairy because Brie seems to love her yogurt, cheese and cream of wheat with heavy cream. These are the things that have finally gotten her to gain weight and she is tolerating them fine. She is going to see the nutritionist in 3 weeks so we will see what she says. The doc also did not want to increase her prevacid. He added a second medication Axid which did not go well last night. I gave her her 2 ml dose and 10 sec later it was back with part of her dinner. I am not sure if we will try again or not.
