MRI and more bodily fluid
We went to Children's hospital for Jane Baird's MRI at 6:00 pm. She wouldn't take her bottle at 2:00 so I thought we were going to in for it big time. Well she was great all afternoon and the whole way over to B'ham. We had to sit in the waiting room for nearly an hour (b/c we got there early) and she was just as good as she could be. At 10 minutes til 6 she started crying her hungry cry and I felt bad b/c we couldn't feed her until right before the MRI. At 6:02 they called us back. I fed her and swaddled her. I tried to burp her and she just wouldn't burp. She went right to sleep instead. We wanted to wait a few minutes to make sure she was fast asleep. She started wiggling around and I knew it just wouldn't work (her being still enough for the MRI). Well by the time the nurse came to get us, JB was wide awake but not crying. We decided to give it a try anyway. We put her down and wrapped her up really good and she got her own ear muff looking things and got all strapped in. He was about to start the machine when all of a sudden a fountain of milk came shooting up from her mouth. It soaked all three blankets on her, the one she was wrapped in, her hair, her face--everything. I was shocked because she never spits up. It has probably been 2 weeks since she spit up the last time and it was probably not more than a table spoon of spit up. Tonight it had to have been all 4 oz that she ate. I have never seen so much milk come out of a baby before. (This was like the day of bodily fluids...teetee and poop this morning and spit up tonight...Geez) We got her alll cleaned up and proceded with the MRI. She was awake the entire time but still as a rock! I was so proud of her. I told her if she did good, I would buy her a new dress. I guess I owe her a new dress now:)
