Asleep on a Hill!

So, my darling baby girl has not been the happiest little baby the last month or so. She struggles with extreme acid reflux which thank goodness is not the intestinal blockage we thought she had. No surgery for us, but lots of medication and strange looking things like this "hill". Strange, but it does work.

So long to the cradle . . .

On to this.It does feel a little strange to strap your baby to this thing, but it works! Oh does it work! She has slept 7-9 hours the last 3 nights. Until now, we were up almost every 1 1/2 hours and rocking, bouncing, running water, using heat packs, etc. It's worth the separation from mom and dad and the new rules that Sarah has to follow with the baby in her room too.

One other cool thing . . .

This heat pack is made of cherry pits. Yes. You heard right. You can heat it for 20 seconds in the microwave and it's pliable just like the frozen bag of peas that you use on your own bumps and bruises. Also, you can freeze it for 4 hrs. + and use it as an ice pack.

These two things are not only Allison's best friends but mine as well. She smiles again! This time the smiles continue for a few moments instead of vanishing into a wide open-mouth scream. Oh, happy day, happy day!
