Chicken Little

As I sit and wait for her bottle to be warmed up I thought I'd throw in a quick update. We saw the speech pathologist again on monday and she was showing improvement with her eating... yay! She also found some sample cans of the new formula which she gave me. This was much appreciated since all the insurance issues havn't been resolved yet and I want a fat baby now! =)

But, in true Cordelia style the new formula was a complete and total failure!!! She took 2 sips and I suspect that first of all she doesn't like the taste and second of all it has a funny consistency but she went absolutely balistic! She was so hysterical her face was completely red and instead of swallowing all these gooey globs were pouring out of her mouth. It was so traumatic!!! She was making noises I would never think a human being could possibly make. It was so wild. After I calmed her down I had to laugh because it was such a ridiculous spectacle. It took her a half hour to relax.

This may be a blessing in disguise though because if insurance didn't cover this stuff Chris and I would be shelling out about $600 a month to have her on this formula. So now the type of girl she is continues to be a mystery. Apparently not one that can be won with expensive things =)

The best part of the whole day was after I decided to put her in cloth diapers so save some money. (Just one of my many brilliant money saving ideas... haha) I went out and bought the old school plastic pants and pins, I already had diapers I had been using as burp cloths. Saved a ton the way I figured. Which is true but there is a wonderful biproduct of this new plan. These things are hilarious! First of all, she looks like she has the biggest butt in the world! Secondly, I'm not sure if the plastic pants need to be washed a few times but it sounds like someone dressed her in a grocery bag when she moves. I called her krinkle butt all day and I'm not sure she appreciated it. But the endless entertainment I will get from them will be worth it!

I also decided to cut back on groceries and that was somewhat of a failure- I bought cheese, milk, cereal, and some chicken. I'm not sure what this was supposed to accomplish but hey I had a traumatic day! Chris was cracking up! He dubbed me chicken little because we aren't in such a bad way that he and I have to starve. So I'm being overly cautious. =p And now I still have to actually go grocery shopping because that can't feed 2 adults for a week. Oh me and my crazy mom brain.

Ok, I need to feed this munchkin. Off to the pediatrician for a weight check today. Come on Cordelia fat baby fat baby!
