She's A-OK

First let me please apologize for not posting for a while...but as I'm sure lots of you know, it isn't exactly easy to sit down at the computer each day. I promise I'll try to be better.

Second, Kate had her infant hip ultrasound appointment today. The doctor wanted to just double check that her hips were in the socket correctly as sometimes breech babies have an issue with that. So, off we went to yet another hospital today and our little trooper did so well! She squirmed a little, but was a champ and the best news is, the results were perfect! Her hips are fine and so there will be no need for any follow-up. The people at the hospital were really nice, too!

Now for what we've been up to since last week. Really, not all that much, just living life, which is busy! My parents left on Thanksgiving morning...God love my mom for staying so long and for filling our freezer! As I write this, I'm smelling the lasagna she left for us! Mmmmm, can't wait! Jon and I had our first several days with just the 3 of us. It's truly great to have a family. Before it was just us, now we are 3 and I know it's cliche, but I can't imagine what life was like before Kate. She's our little ray of sunshine.

We took Kate for a walk on Saturday in the jogging stroller with the car seat attachment. It really was great...in fact so great, that I took her out for a few miles (yes...just walking) on Monday and I'm meeting a friend (the play date friend) for a long walk tomorrow...it's supposed to be a beautiful day. I got the Baby Bjorn all set up and adjusted to fit me, so maybe I'll use that on the walk tomorrow...we'll see what Kate prefers. Right now, she's just happy as a clam in her little seat watching me type!

I gotta say...this is the life. I love going about my day, and then having a nice dinner with my husband when he gets home and then snuggling with him and the baby after dinner. It's so hard to imagine that in 7 1/2 weeks, I'll be back to the grind of going to work at 2 a.m. everyday. Oh how I wish I didn't have to work. Maybe someday. I am, however, grateful for my job and all it provides for us...I'll never lose sight of that...especially in today's economy.
