On Wednesday February 18, Ashlyn weighed 15 lbs. 10 oz at the pediatrician (for RSV vaccine). On Friday February 20th, she weight 15 lbs. 15 oz.! She is gaining quick. She is also 27 inches long, and pretty soon will outweigh Brooke at the same age, if not Brooke at three! I am so happy she is gaining so well though, considering everything. We are working on baby food, she pretty much spits it out and laughs, but hopefully soon she will get the hang of it.
Everything looked good at the cardiologist. She still has a hole, but they will continue to monitor it. Dr. Huhta released her to go to day care, said to come back in three months and to treat her like a normal baby! I want to get her ears pierced but I am nervous and not sure if she needs to be on antibiotics or not, so we will wait. We also decided that the best thing for our family was for me to continue to stay home with the girls. John and I have have been on the fence about this for months, but finally decided this is what we need to do. Brooke will be starting school soon enough and then it will be more affordable.
Ashlyn has starting rolling over, babbling and giggling. The giggles for Brooke are huge, belly giggles, but the giggles foe everyone else are small. She thinks Brooke is the greatest thing ever! She thinks Mommy is pretty special too. I catch her staring at me often and when I look at her she grins so big and wiggles like crazy. It's hard to believe such a short time ago, she was int he hospital. We are over four months out from surgery, and Ashlyn will be six months old in a few weeks. We also were in the newspaper for CHD Awareness week. I will post the article in a different post. Hope everyone is well. Here are some recent pictures:
