Great news and a big day for Hope. 22 pounds 7.79 ounces is a great number. After the last month...and especially the last weigh in we both needed this today. I have this fear every time we head to the doctor's office every other Wednesday that Hope will have lost or maintain without any explanation. It is hard when there is an explanation...like these stomach bugs that have plagued our family this winter. I am extremely grateful that it has not been something worse and we have not had any hospitalizations from any virus...I just really hate stomach bugs. They take away so much progress we have made with her weight and it drives me insane. I know it has to hurt her too...watching her throw up is so hard. I feel so bad for her when she gets sick and I know there is nothing I can do for her.
Anyway...today is a great day in our house. The weather this winter has been amazing and today is looking to be another beautiful day. In Ohio...that is saying something in March. I plan to get the kids to spend the afternoon (when Jerry gets off school and I am done working) outside...soaking up the sun and playing like crazy. Spring is almost here and I definitely have spring fever!
so so good to hear. I think as with everything these kids do things on their own schedule, I have learned that during my short/long year with John and sometimes the doctors want these kids to be on the doctor schedule and not their own. It's frustrating, but enjoy the day !!! Chicago has had a really mild winter too and it almost feels like early summer this week :)
ReplyDeleteGlad that Hope is doing better and has gained some weight! Yay!! Iowa has been really warm this winter too. Heard that the bugs are going to be insanely bad here this year because of it. That's going to be a bummer!
