That was easy
We had the Upper G.I. test today. Ashley did great! She really is a good baby. We had a rough night last night. She took a bottle from dad, and drank about 2 ounces. But, the aftermath was not as exciting. She could have just not been feeling well (because she spit up multiple times throughout the morning and threw up the day before). I think it could have been the bottle though, she possibly swallowed more air than usual and that really upset her. It was back to where we were last week, the uncontrollable, nothing we do can help crying. Nate got her to sleep shortly after her bottle and then he left for bible study. Her nap lasted about 10 minutes and then she was up crying for the next two hours! The poor thing. She finally went to sleep around 10 and slept until 2:30. I had been really nervous for this G.I. test. She was allowed to eat for 4 hours before. Our appt was at 8:15. So, I kept telling her to eat all she wanted at 2:30 because she couldn't eat again for awhile. She started to stir around 6:15 and I got nervous, but she never fully woke up. She would cry out every once in awhile, but never fully woke up and was ready to eat. I went in at 7:45 and had to wake her up! While we were waiting at the doctor's office she was fussy and ready to eat, but she found her hand and that calmed her down. They would only let one of us be in the room during the test, so daddy let me go in with her. :) During the test she did really good, the barium looked gross, almost like glue, very chalky. But, she gobbled it down and didn't seem to mind. They laid her in all sorts of positions getting a good look at her and then it was over. Prob. less than 10 minutes for the actual test. We nursed after and she is a happy little one. We have an appointment with Dr. Regehr again on Monday afternoon where we will go over the results of the test.

It sounds like things are really hopping in the Tinius family. Hope things go well at the Dr.
