Wow, when I first thought about making it to this halfway point it seemed so far away!
So, today Lauren celebrated her 3 week mark by taking a 3 hr nap and then having an awesome playdate with GG (Great Grandma); I however chose to celebrate with a nice glass of red wine!
The kids have just been awesome lately. Little Brayden put himself on such a great schedule a couple weeks ago, he is off to sleep around 8:30-9:00pm and then up around 4:30am for a feed, right back down and then up around 7ish. He is such an easy going baby, lots of smiles and cooing during the day and wonderful snuggles in the evening! I am really enjoying every moment with him, it's so different with the second baby - in a good way!
We have been keeping Lauren pretty busy with playdates, outings, walks and shopping! She has fully adapted to having this cast on and is just enjoying what she is able too, I am still shocked how well she is doing! Lauren was sick over the weekend with a fever/flu so we stayed pretty close to home and once that cleared up she came down with a cold, hopefully the cold will pass quickly!
It's amazing how Lauren is still able to move herself around with that heavy cast. Garry and I were shocked to see her at the other side of her crib this morning - with the nursing pillow still under her legs! And, while placing her on her tummy on the ground she is able to move in a circle motion and get around to grab stuff. It will be interesting to see what she is able to do with the next cast since it will only go to above the knee.
It's nice to finally feel like we are settling into a routine and we are on the road to getting our little girl all fixed up. Although I still wonder why it was us that had to go through this and the life lessons that will come out of all of this - I am grateful that Lauren was diagnosed when she was, as the timing couldn't have been better for Garry and I!
