Grace and I took a long drive together today up to Cedars for her hip appt. The ortho said that he wasn't worried and to do another ultrasound in a few weeks. Apparently, the ball joint isn't a perfect circle and sometimes that causes alarm but in this case, it was very minimally off so he suggested keeping an eye on it over the next several months. He wasn't worried though and that was key.
The fun part was having my little girl out about town all by ourselves. It was so strange to be among the living, not in the NICU.. and not cooped up at home. She got so much attention.. positive this time .. sweet!! She looks like a newborn in so many ways, it's hard to tell people she is almost 3 months old. I always end up telling an abridged version of their story.
It also felt strange to not have Austin with me. They are never apart and it made my heart hurt that he was left behind.. are my hormones still kickin or what?? He is having some colic-like issues lately and I am contemplating adding some different formula to his diet. I don't want to take him off of breast milk, but poor little guy is really struggling. :(( It breaks our hearts to hear him cry out in pain. We will try anything.. Grace is so mellow now and eats well, sleeps well.. super calm child. Good thing bc if I had two like Austin, I would freak.
Our Doula is leaving us alone this weekend for the first time since she started and I am scared. I have to admit though, two nights a week is nothing!!! You might not be hearing from me this weekend is all I am sayin..
Much love to all of you,
Erica and Tom
