A call from the pediatrician

I love our new pediatrician. She called me today just to let me know that she got some test results from another office and wanted me to have the results. I actually already knew the results, but the fact that she called was so nice. I was also able to ask her about Cassidy's reflux without having to go into the office. Which is a good thing since we have weekly appointments with somebody already.

I have also been able to enjoy just being a new mommy again with a sweet little baby. We've been trying to nurse a bit more, and it has actually mostly been working. We can't exclusively nurse yet, but occasionally she will take an entire feed without a bottle. I've also gotten to start using our sweet cloth diaper stash! Such fun. Who knew that diapering a baby could be fun?! I took lots of pictures of her in the teeny tiny colorful diapers.

I've started doing a few things that I enjoy as well, like sewing and editing photos. I love to sew and have sweet little finished products. And now I am able to sneak a few minutes here and there to actually do my own projects. Of course, I can't do any one thing from start to finish! In fact, I just started this blog post without a baby in my arms, and suddenly, I hear a fussing babe who needs her mama!

And now I get back to this post TWO DAYS LATER! Good thing drafts are saved instantly :)

Let's see, other fun happenings. . .

I started my first quilt. I need to get some pictures. I have finished piecing the top, and now the fun part of actually quilting it! Ainsley, Liberty and I are also sewing little shoes for Cassidy, so that is fun. We also went to a little health and fitness for kids expo where we learned about lots of healthy snacks. We even had chocolate chip cookies with chick peas in them, yum. And something sneaky I would totally do! We met a female Olympian weight lifter. It was a fun morning, and nice to get out and about. I had lots of people saying they were impressed that I was out with all my kiddos, and that I looked great for having just had a baby, so that was nice too :)

Oh, and we saw the Cardiologist on Thursday. She was 5lbs 2oz, 2330g. So not as big of a gain as the previous week, but still gaining. She is a bit over 1 pound heavier than her birth weight. We discussed her surgery, and Dr B. is hopeful that we will be able to make it until mid-summer before surgery. He said they want to do it before she is six months, but hopefully only just before! So she may even be sitting up or rolling over before then, and the more core strength she has the better, because she will be unable to be on her tummy for six weeks after surgery. So that was great news!

Well, I have somehow lost all train of though and coherency, so I think its time to post! Haha.
