I am proud to say that Jadyn finally smiles. Jan 10th was her first real big social smile. And she still melts my heart every time. It is the hardest thing to ever capture on the camera. As soon as i bring out the camera she just stares at it forever and wont take her eyes off it. I just happened to catch it twice.
Right now J is a pretty easy baby. She is still on a pretty good schedule: Eats every 3 hours, is awake for about an hour, then sleeps for 2 hours until its time to eat again. ( I contribute some of her sleeping to her anemia). After her noon feeding is when she is the most fun. She likes to talk, smile, and we will play on the floor with toys and do tummy time. She sleeps for about 7 hours at night which is so nice. She seems to be getting so big and I'm happy to announce that the fluid in her belly has gone down quite a bit in the past 2 weeks. It got really big there for a while and our pediatrician was a little concerned that it was getting harder for her to breathe because of the pressure it puts on her lungs. We went to see another GI Dr at Primary Childrens and by that time it had gone down quite a bit. They are not too worried about it. They say it should continue to go down on her own and might take several more months. We continue to do blood work on her, me, Cade and family members to see if we can figure out her diagnosis. But right now she is a happy and seems to be healthy... thankfully!
P.S. I do realize that this is now officially Jadyn's blog. Cade and I are very boring now. Maybe someday we will do something worthy of sharing but as for now Jadyn is much more fun to talk about.
