New puppy!!

I forgot to add a big update-we got a puppy!! We've had her for a couple of months now and she fits in with the family just perfectly. She's a little tri-colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Penelope-Pippa for short. The first couple of weeks were perfect; she wasn't used to the Texas heat (especially not this freak heatwave crud we're dealing with!), so she spent all of her time sleeping on the air vents! She was sooo boring!! All of a sudden, one night, she started getting spastic, and it has just grown from there. Aside from aggravating moments-like chewing up our storage ottoman, the carpet, my shoes.....and loving to pee on my rug and do the rest of her business in the baby's room.....umm, lost my train of thought! O_o Hehe, no really, she's had some challenging moments but otherwise fits in just perfect with our little family. Tiny butt just loves her to death, too!

Just over 2 months

4 months

Only 2 ounces :(

That's all she gained. All of the diet changes did nothing this month...::sigh::

They sent us home with some high-calorie preemie formula, and orders to pump and freeze for 2 weeks, but all the formula did was make her appetite drop, so I don't think it is going to help much either. My little 10 lb 6oz teeny butt is not phased by a bit of this, though.

27 Weeks

She's happy as can be, and such a girly-girl! She knows when people are talking about her, and gives the cutest faces and reactions to show it. She loves all things "pretty" already, and squeals when she gets a new dress on, or when I let her play with my pearl bracelet. Oh man, the bracelet, lol...I'm going to have to get this girl a set of pearls once she's a little bigger, because she is completely in love with them!! I made her a teeeeeny little pearl bracelet to come home from the hospital in, but so far, it only fits her ankle-a "normal" baby would have outgrown it by now!!

She can fully stand while holding on to something now, and I can't believe we're already over halfway to her first birthday :( Mommy, Daddy, and middle brother all have October birthdays (Daddy's is on Halloween!), then there's thanksgiving, Christmas, and First Birthday...such a busy fall/winter for us, no?

Anyhoo, back to the blah doctor stuff...She's getting an appointment with a GI specialist, and an endocrinology specialist, and has yet another weigh-in on the 17th. She's going to think the doctors office is a regular stop soon!

28 Weeks

Oh, by the way-Happy Anniversary, Daddy!! Married 4 years today, together for 5...I'm looking forward to celebrating well into our 50-years <3
