Here are her stats to go along with her pictures below. She is weighing in last week at 16 pounds 11 ounces - probably closer to 17 pounds now. She eats very heartily, we can't seem to keep that belly full. She is sleeping much better at night, now that I don't have to wake her for her meds. She usually falls asleep around 10 and sleeps until almost 8. When we went to the Cardiologist on the 15th he thought that I was crazy for being so regimented on the medicine... Um hello the hospital told us every 8 hours as the doctor there prescribed. He said to relax, that it was possible that she didn't even need it anymore. Good thing since I forgot to give her a dose yesterday afternoon. She should be completely off of it by July. As for the Prevacid... I don't know, we still have good low spit days and some vomit days - the last was when we introduced peaches. She only has two more first foods to try - carrots and prunes (yuck to both). We are hoping to move to the less expensive powder formula... we'll see how that goes. She loves, loves, loves her exersaucer and bouncing herself on your legs. We are looking for a johnny jump up this weekend. She still loves her sister best of all. The first picture from yesterday is the only one she is truly smiling and that is at Grace. We are still working on the nap thing .... maybe we will get a routine one day. She is definitely a social butterfly and has enjoyed her many outings in the last month. We are looking forward to the beach this summer, Grandma Terry's house this summer and Disney for her birthday in September. Her heart stats were all so good including the holter monitor she wore a month ago that she doesn't have to go back to the cardiologist until AUGUST! For those of you who know stats - heart rate averages 130 beats a minute, oxygen level 100%, BP 92 and she is steadily growing they didn't even do a echo. I still have to count heart rate, but I feel better knowing that when she was wearing the monitor the highest reading was 151 beats a minute and I know she was screaming at that point. So all is good here - back to eating and growing with some sleeping interspersed in there.
