We are having a great break so far. Yesterday and today me and Lilly got to spend the whole day together, no distractions. We went to Papas and cleaned a little. We even cheered for the Dallas Cowboys with our new attire that Uncle Marcus gave us.

Today we played, went grocery shopping, and Ahead start came to work with Lilly. They said that she is doing really good, but an occupational therapist is coming to work with Lilly's arm strength in January. Right after play therapy, Lilly passed out. She was exhausted after her "baby yoga."

This week is going to be busy for us, I have a dentist and doctor appt. and Lilly has a synagis shot and endocrinologist appt. The endocronologist is going to test her calcium levels to see if they have changed at all. Let's hope that everything is still ok. I am loving being out of class and being with my little angel everyday. Her personality is really changing and developing. She is such a carefree baby and always goes with the flow. I am very excited because this Thursday we are going to start eating cereal! We've been wanting to start this for awhile, but have been putting it off. Lilly is starting to wake up every three hours to eat, so we've decided to give her cereal at night to help hold her over. I am nervous about starting foods because I know that children with DiGeorge can have difficulties eating. She doesn't right now as you can see haha. Solids might be a different story. Until next time...

Outerbanks

Photos from our trip to Outerbanks

Lilly and her friend Kyla on Halloween.

I just know she's thinking "what are you doing to me."

She is a passie girl

She loves her baby, bunny, and to snuggle.

Wow, it's been forever since we've posted anything. I know several people have been asking. I apologize! We are doing excellent and I have lots of information about Miss Lilly. Well first off the semester is almost over and I have finished my OB, PEDS, and 1st MedSurg clinicals! YAY! Thats the reason for being so delayed.

Well to get started with Lilly...she is almost 5 months old and growing. She weighs almost 14 pounds and is 23.5 inches long. She is now rolling over from her tummy to her back and "talking" up a storm. She smiles at everything and such a happy baby. She barely ever cries (knock on wood). We hope to start her on cereal and juice soon.

Onto her health..we had a scare about a month ago. She was in the hospital for about a week. We thought she had a seizure so we went to the emergency room and they admitted her. We had to go through lots of tests, and everything came back normal, which is excellent, but we still do not know what this seizure activity was. The doctor says that it may have just happened once and may never happen again.....so far, so good. She is growing appropriately and has not been sick other than a minor cold, which is excellent considering her immune system. Lilly's cardiologist says her heart looks great and we do not have to go back for another 6 months.

When Lilly got better, we went to Outerbanks for three days. We had a blast! I'll post pictures later tonight from our trip. We did not really get to take Lilly on the beach because it was way too windy and cold. Me and my sister looked for sea glass, but just found several shells. While looking, Melanie almost got knocked down by the waves, so everytime the wave went out we had to hurry and grab shells and run back. Another hit from the trip was "Swiper." Each night, a fox would come up to our porch and eat food that we left out there for him. All the kids thought he was swiper. We had a long trip back and Lilly was not happy by the time we got home. I had to switch out car seats because after the trip of 10 hours, she screamed everytime we put her in her car seat. After we switched it out, she was fine. How weird! She def. did not want to drive another 10 hours, that's for sure.

I want to say CONGRATUALTIONS to Nicole/Jason and Kelly on the births of their beautiful babies.

Here are some pictures from the past two months. I will post more later tonight when I can get to my camera.
