Tummy Time

We've got a long way to go before we master this belly stuff. Mostly Maeli just picks up her legs and kind of wobbles on her belly. She also roots around with her face, kind of a like a chicken pecking at the ground. But its pretty cute.




We had a two week check up and Dr. Hall was very pleased that she's weighing in at 8lbs 10oz. She has a little bit of a hernia still at her belly button, but he's not at all worried that it won't close on its own. She passed all her tests and, other than peeing on the nurse, was a perfect angle. Jeremy had to hold her while she had another PKU test done and I think it broke his heart when they poked her foot. But they both survived.


And just to let everyone know, I am healing nicely. My incision is looking really good, although the skin around it is so super sensitive, I don't know if that's from the surgery, or from having been stretched out for so long. I see the Doctor in a few weeks to make sure everything is good, but he took a peak at Maeli's appointment and is very happy with the progress. I even walked all the way downtown yesterday (My visiting teaching group went out fro ice cream, well worth the walk.) And I left Jeremy home alone with the baby for over an hour and I survived, maybe I will be able to handle having to go back to work.
