Bailey's Tender Heart
Today was our appointment with the pediatric cardiologists. We took her down to see the DuPont doctors at Bryn Mawr Hospital and they were all so nice and very easy going. The doctors there talked to you like you were a person instead of another number (unlike CHOP) and were so patient and kind. We were really happy with them and would use them again in the future in a heartbeat!!
So they did an EKG and an Echo on Bailey as well as got her height and weight. She is really growing by leaps and bounds. To look at her now you'd NEVER know she was a preemie!!! My chunky little monkey is doing fantastic. She weighs just over 9 pounds and is now about 21 inches long. She's slowly starting to outgrow those newborn clothes, however 0-3mos size is still just slightly too big...but she's getting there quickly!!
Her heart is doing just fine. They heard an innocent murmur which she will outgrow by the time she is 6 months old. This is what was suspected but the pediatrician wanted to be sure that was all it was which is why we were referred to the pediatric cardiology team. She said everything else looked very good and she is a strong and healthy little girl, that we have NOTHING to worry about at all with this slight murmur.
So that was a huge weight lifted off of us and maybe now we'll sleep a little easier at night. I feel like I am even more paranoid and protective this time around than I was with Matty. And according to family and some friends...I was pretty bad with Matty. I'm just so much more aware of EVERYTHING now that I feel like I really need to be on my game to keep both my children healthy and safe!! And I'll never apologize for that, regardless of who thinks I am ridiculous or over the top!!
In other news...tomorrow will be a big day. Tomorrow Mommy goes back to work!!! I have to go in on Thursday and Friday for refreshing of my training that I started back in December before I went on full bed-rest with my pregnancy!!! I am excited and nervous all at the same time. The hours are early and it'll be hard to leave the Baby at first but I think it'll all work out. Adam will have to get Matty off to the bus in the morning and take care of the baby until I get home each day. I know we can do it...its just going to take some time to get used to the new routine. I think for the first couple of weeks I am going to be one tired Momma. I'll work in the morning to early afternoon...then come home to take over so Adam can cat-nap and go off to his job in the late afternoon. We'll see each other less but it'll help us out with our financial difficulties...or at least I hope it helps out with our financial difficulties. We'll see!!
Tomorrow Matty also starts T-Ball. He is so excited to start playing and his first practice is tomorrow nite. This Saturday he has the Opening Day Parade/Ceremony. He'll be on the Cubs!!
This weekend is pretty busy too. Matty goes to his dad's this weekend. Saturday I'll have T-ball opening day, then a Wedding for a family friend. Then Sunday I am hoping to get up to Marie's so she can do some pictures of Bailey and me together...if Adam's not working I may try and smooze him to come with us...but I doubt that'll happen. He hates his picture taken and indulges me as much as he has to but he has his limits! :-)
The rest of April is pretty busy too. I cannot believe that next week Bailey will hit 2 months old. My oh my time really does fly!! Where did it all go!?!?
She's already a Daddy's Girl...Its pitiful but
OH SO CUTE at the same time. He's already
wrapped around her tiny little finger!!!
Bailey and her Daddy playing with her new
crib mirror toy!!! Whose that baby in there??
