Friday Ms Willow pants was 6 weeks old.  She's almost 9 lbs and doing good.  She seems more alert when she is awake and awake more during the day.  So far she is doing pretty good at night too.  She will have a couple times during a 24 hours period where she will sleep 3 to 4 hours before waking .    She seems to be cooing more and focusing on things around her.  She is still a BIG fan of being held. 
I had my 6 weeks checkup with my OB and got cleared to do what I want.  His words were " you can do whatever you want just don't do it all at once"  HAHAH, he must really know me :) 

I wanted to add her profile to compare to the ultrasound profile.  Looks just like her...don't ya think??

Update on Ms Willow pants. Her pediatrician called this A.M and her echo came back clear. No problems. So we will monitor her murmur and elevated heart rate but at this time there is no need for concern. So YAY!!!! She has her 2 month ( can you believe that???) doc visit on Sept 5 and she'll get her vaccinations( wait....did that make her sound like a dog??? ) Anyway.... on a cute note, we think she actually smiled. Not gas, but an actual smile. It's amazing how much she's grown and how alert she is now when she's awake. She LOVES to be held and isn't a fan when we put her down. But at this point you can't spoil her right??????
I've decided I need to start putting her in a her newborn clothes because before long she'll outgrown them. Even if we aren't going anywhere I'm going to try to get her in some of her clothes everyday. Stay tuned for more updates

Let's see, where did we leave off. Oh the EKG that Willow had showed a "left axis deviation" and from what I can tell doesn't always mean anything is wrong. But since the doc also heard a murmur on her exam they wanted to go ahead and do an echocardiogram as well. So we had that done on Friday and are now waiting for the results. Fingers crossed that there really is nothing to be concerned about. On another note she was 5 weeks on Friday and now weighs 7lb 15.5 oz. YAY!! Also another accomplishment is that we think we have officially gotten her graduated from the preemie/low flow nipple to the level 1 nipple. That means it won't take her FOREVER to eat. Check back for updates on the echo.

Friday Ms Willow pants had her doc appointment. She weighs 7lb 4 oz and has grown to over 20 inches. Everything is looking good. Next appointment( 2 months old) she will be getting her vaccinations, should be interesting.
Today she had her follow up carseat test and ........(drum roll please)..........SHE PASSED !!!!!!!!!! The only issue was her heart rate was elevated and they were a little concerned so they called her doc and she ordered a EKG for her. Luckily they were able to get her right in. So we won't know the results for a few days as it had to be sent off to a pediatric cardiologist. I'll keep you posted. And since she did pass her carseat test that means we got to break out the swing!!!! YAY!!!

as of tomorrow Willow will be 4 weeks old and just 4 days shy of her actual due date. Last week my mom came over and brought us a baby scale, at that time she was 6lb 4 oz. Today before Willow's bath we weighed in again and she was a whoppin' 7lb 4oz. My my my how she's grown. She has another ped appointment tomorrow, so we will see how close our scales are to theirs. Check back tomorrow for updates
