Leia's third week of life was a bit more difficult than her first two. She went from a really happy, peaceful baby into a very upset and pained one. She would start crying and screaming during and after feedings, as well as grunting and groaning, arching her back, and doing all sorts of crazy stuff. Turns out she had Acid Reflux and it totally made her miserable. She was still eating and gaining weight, but it was quite painful to do so. As a distraction, we made a point to wear all of her new cute outfits at least once and take photos. Luckily, despite being sick, she's still so cute in all her pictures!
