Wow! Its hard to believe that 3 weeks have flown by since we welcomed Miss Em into the world. Life is beginning to settle down here (thank goodness!) and we are finally getting into some semblance of a routine. Today was my first day to have all 3 kids by myself-- not too bad if I do say so myself.
Carson is doing well. All of his follow up appts have been great. Chest Xray looks good, labs look good, he is eating and playing like crazy:) He can't wait to go back to school after spring break.
Olivia is the best big helper, although sometimes she likes to help a little too much..the other day I got in the shower and told Liv to come get me if the baby woke up. Well, I got to the living room to find the baby on the couch instead of the swing where I left her. Hmmmm. wonder what happened between the swing and couch. But I love to watch her in her "big sister" role.
Emerson is growing like a weed. She wasn't gaining enough weight at first, but I think we fixed that problem. I should find out today or tomorrow when her appt is with the genetic specialist. She appears to have a partial biotinidase deficiency--an enzyme produced by the body that aids in the breakdown of biotin. Many things can happen if the deficiency is left untreated, but luckily in Texas, its one of 28 rare disorders that an infant is tested for within days of birth. early detection=early treatment. She loves just laying on her back looking around. She smiles a lot and even chuckled at Carson a couple days ago. She mostly sleeps through the night. She wakes up once and eats, then goes right back to sleep.
Life is definitely crazy right now but I wouldn't trade a minute of it!
