Well threes days into work...I am doing pretty well I think. I am tired though as I have had to get up earlier the past two days due to doctors appointments. Yesterday Isaac's follow up visit with the NICU and the pulmonologist. Isaac is now 8 lbs and 3 lbs! Wow is he growing. The physical therapist was astonished at how he was doing. He can hold his head in the center of his body while on his back, follow an object when it moves from one side of his head to another and has great movement in legs and arms. Today the pediatrician said he is healthy and right where he should be. The NICU originally said that we would need to visit them monthly. Ater yesterday we were told with his development we only need to come back in 3 months! He also has been taken off of caffiene! One more medication gone! So exciting.
He is still waking up in the middle of the night more than I would like and more than I think a newborn should. I have always heard that a newborn should sleep most of the time. The pediatrician today said give the reflux medicine another week. This too shall pass and in a few more months we will be progressed to another stage....
I don't remember if I blogged this but Sunday night arianna and I made sugar cookies and decorated them. It was fun. However I learned that I have to let her explore more and let her do things... I was so concerned about the uncontrolled mess that was being made and the not so perfectly shaped cookies... Candy cane shaped cookies are bound to be in two pieces! She was shocked that I let her wipe her floury hands on her shirt when she asked. I thought that is part of baking right? Then every time I turned around she had another M & M in her mouth just smiling away. All in all they tasted good and it was a great memory. This weekend the Iverson tradition will be driving around looking at Christmas lights in her pajamas and drinking hot chocolate!
