I cut 5 inches off her hair and didnt even cry. I think we were both ready. I was sad to see the little baby curl on her ends go but at the same time that hair was the cause of many fights and tears. It was so difficult to comb out. Sophie loved her long hair but she seems to love it shorter too. The girls got confidence I guess. She still doesnt want me to do her hair and when I do she always takes it out because it bugs her. At least now there is less hair to look scraggley
Sophie and her favorite person at the moment. She thinks every move he sound he makes is the cutest thing ever and she seems to be very intriuged by his poop. She makes sure to be right there during diaper changes so she can look at his poop. ??
Look at that face. He is such s sweet baby.
We had to take miles into an after hours dr the other night because, out of the blue, he became all clammy and pale. It happened a few times that night. The Dr discovered a faint heart murmer. From there, we had made an appointment to see a pediatric cardiologist. The appointment was long. And although I was assured that it is probably nothing and they just wanted to err on the side of caution, I couldn't keep my thought very positive or my palms from sweating or clear the very large lump in my throat. We sat in a clam, dark room for an hour and a half or so while an echo was being done. I had to do my best to keep miles calm and asleep. of course the test didnt hurt him at all. It was so nerve racking to me. When it was over, the cardiologist came in to let us know that everything looked relativley normal. They did find two little holes in his heart that will more than likely close on their own and that is what is causing the murmer. He also said that his heart rate seems to be on the rapid side of things. I'm trying hard not to worry too much or make something out of nothing. I think of hard hard it must be to have a baby that is really truly ill. Miles is growing wonderfully. His weight today is 9 lbs 11 oz. and he is 22 inches long. A nurse has been coming to our home to check his development to make sure he is where he needs to be. She did a few tests and he is doing what he should be for his actual age, (7 1/2 weeks) not his gestational age (1 1/2 weeks) He even smiled today for the first time! He is starting to feel more and more sturdy and less and less fragile.
