Sorry I haven't blogged lately. I'm still suffering from months of lack of sleep but fortunately, last night, for the first time EVER...MJ slept all night...my baby is growing up...She is 4 mths old now...adjusted age about 8 weeks...she continues to bring joy to my life daily...she is such a precious child...we are so blessed...as long as we hold her...she never cries...therefore...she never cries, lol....
I'm trying to decide if I want to continue this blog or not...it was created to helped other couples by blogging our journey and hardships along the way...I may just start another one involving all members of our immediate family and let this one be idle...Idle that is, until round 2. Although most anxious for round 2, I dread the stress.....we have a limited number of embryos left...the nicu and FRRO visit a memory yet still fresh in my mind...I guess I just want to relish in the one normal aspect of this journey so far....just loving MJ...enjoying her presence...
Speaking of normal...we finally had her baby shower last week...her first big outing...it went very well...finally, we got to experience one "normal" pregnancy/new baby experience...it was nice for a change...got to experience it first hand...not by email or phone call....
MJ is 10 pounds 5 ounces now..WOW!! She has one more visit with the cardiologist (hopefully we will be able to stop the Lasix then)...her reflux is aggravating but manageable with Zantac...she appears to be hitting her developmental milestones on target with her adjusted age...finally she has some fat rolls!! She has lost a lot of her hair...headbands with bows are her best friend...she smiles constantly and is always moving and cooing...what a joy...what a journey...
Now for some pics...some are from the baby shower...some are just MJ chilling...
