Grrrr

So Noelle is still fighting her bottle after only 1-3 oz. I hate this. I absolutely hate this. Couldn't she choose to give us a hard time with something else? Like bathtime? Or taking her vitamins? Or ANYTHING ELSE!!! (Well, maybe not sleeptime at night...but then again, I almost would rather she eat well with us). The daycare still says that she is taking her 3 bottles of 6 1/2oz each without any problems. We have no idea why she's fussing for her bottles at home. I give her the same milk at home and feed her in the same position as always. We've had the same feeding times as when she started daycare (roughly every 3 hours). I've tried feeding her in a dark, quieter room, and with the TV on or off. Last night, we used a combination of holding out toys for her to watch or pull and turning on the vacuum cleaner to distract her. Grrrrr. This is soooo frustrating.

And I think she poked herself in the eye pretty good yesterday. I noticed that her left eye (but only the outer corner) was red but there is no discharge. She's not rubbing at it or fussing at it. We're guessing she scratched her eye accidentally with her talons but I'm taking her to the doctor this morning (hopefully they will take us without any appointment?) cuz I'm paranoid. Say, what if she is hemorrhaging in her brain or something cuz she hit her head while at daycare??? (Yes, I'm that paranoid). Granted, I know that this is a very remote possibility cuz the daycare seems decent and she's not showing other signs of brain trauma (throwing up, excessive drowsiness, nothing red in the other eye) but still. I'm one of those crazy worrywart moms so off to the doctor we will go. Hey, be proud of me that I didn't rush her off to the ER as soon as I noticed it last night.
