Three Weeks

Well another week has flown by.  This was a rather stressful one as we found out the results of Seth's ear scan and that he will have to have surgery.  He has a birth defect in his mastoid cavity and he has what looks like a cholesteotoma, which is a benign mass, growing and eating away at his ear bones.  Dr. Maxwell does seem confident that he does not have any nerve damage and will be able to restore much of his hearing.



On Sunday, we had our first family of 4 walk to Starbucks and we took her to Second Sundays of Fourth, a festival downtown.  It was bizarre taking her to this, as Seth and I have gone the last two months together.  Both times we went we talked about how excited we were to bring Jane to it and we wondered if she would be around/old enough to come to the August date.  It's hard to believe August is here and we are already doing the things we dreamed of with our little girl!



Monday, Jane and I went to visit daddy at work.  We ran some errands together and then I left Jane and Bella there while I made a quick trip to Target to buy a couple more packs of premie sized diapers.



Jane has grown so much this week.  On Tuesday she had her 2 week appointment with Dr. Stewart.  She weighed 6 pounds, 7.2 ounces, so it looks like she is gaining about an ounce a day.  He was happy with the way everything looks so unless we need something she shouldn't have to go back to the doctor until her 2 month check-up.  I can also tell this week that she is growing, because her tummy is busting out of the premie diapers this week.  I'm sure she can fit in the Newborn size now, but we will finish up the open packs since we have had any explosions out of the diaper yet.




On Thursday, I took Jane to Mommy Baby Yoga at the hospital.  She was the youngest (and cutest of course) baby there.  She slept through almost all of yoga, but it was fun to wiggle her arms and legs and sing to her anyway!  It will be nice as I continue to go to meet other moms and babies around her age.  After the yoga class on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month, the lactation consultants lead a new mother's class.  We sat around and asked her questions about breastfeeding and development and then at the end of class she weighed our babies.  Jane weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces with her diaper on.  And then she screamed the entire way home from the hospital :)  Maybe 2 hours of outside activity was too much for my little peanut.



Thursday night I also had my first massage since early on in my pregnancy.  Wow, do I have some knots in my shoulders and back!  It was painfully amazing!




Friday I conquered my first walk by myself with Bella and Jane in the stroller.

Then I took Jane with me to Kate's house for dinner and she got to meet some more friends from school (Carey, Penny and Angela).  She loved being held by everyone and sleeping on Kate's beautiful bed!  Can you find the princess in the picture below?

It was so nice to get out and enjoy time with friends and Kate's food was delicious as always!
