Update on Reese's condition:
As you can hear on the video, Reese's breathing condition makes her a very loud breather! Sometimes it's a lot louder than the video too. I took her in to the ENT and she indeed has Laryngomylacia (floppy throat) and it is something she will grow out of in about a year. This condition has caused acid reflux which has made her pretty uncomfortable at times, but she's been on prevacid for 5 days now and we think she's feeling better already. Poor thing...it just sounds like she can't breathe! Cade and I are getting used to sleeping through it at night listening to her. Reese is a pretty good baby. I told my sister that Reese is a perfect angel...as long as I am holding her all day long :). We're working on it. Luckily at night she sleeps in her bassinet. During the day she just wants to be held and cuddled.

Oh, it's so hard when they just want to be held all the time! Have you looked into getting a sling? They can be a lifesaver when the baby just doesn't want to be put down and you have to get other things done.
Awww, she is so cute! Bummer to hear she has acid reflux, Dono had it too and was quite miserable at times. Glad the meds are helping relieve it. You definitely should get a sling!! I had one after Cali and boy oh boy did it make a difference! I could hold her all day and still get stuff done, LIFE SAVER!!!
prevacid was our lifesaver for a while! Without it, Cam just couldn't sleep and he had to be slightly elevated all night long, which was difficult, because I had to keep waking up to elevate him so he wouldn't wake! I'm so glad it is working for Reese, too! She's adorable! Congratulations!
