Three Months Old!!!

Okay, I know, and I am not even going to try to make excuses but we really have been super busy so sorry for not updating in a whole month...to the day! =( Laiken has been growing like a weed lately. She was almost 9 1/2 pounds and right under 23 inches long last Thursday when we went to the GI dr. Why were we at the GI dr. you ask? Because since Laiken was about a month old she has been throwing up but not just normal throw up... it's this violent, coughing, choking throw up that scares the hell right out of you. So we have been trying to solve this mystery since she wasn't gaining weight by going to a slew of drs. and putting her on prevacid. We did find out that she has gallstones, not real sure how that came about but her pedi. said that 1 out of 20 babies with Downs get them. Who knows why, but I was told to watch for signs of a blockage and we will be doing an upper GI sometime after her heart surgery. Her cardiologist just added another medicine to her daily regimine and that one seems to have really helped! She has tons more energy, eats better and "talks" and plays alot more now too. Now that also means she throws fits a little harder than before but I'll take it happily now that she seems to feel better!

Laiken is also starting to feel the effects of heart failure. Apparently, they expect this to happen but it's still scary and now that she is showing those signs, her surgery will probably be scheduled sooner rather than later. That is just me guessing but since the surgery is inevitable I would assume they will not make her wait. Fine by me though, I want this surgery to be a distant memory so as soon as we can get it done the sooner it will be a part of our past!

Roddy's birthday is this weekend and we are having our first date night since Laiken was born...we are going to see Harry Potter and to hang out at Dave & Busters. I am so excited but at the same time sad to leave our girl! My little sidekick has been with me for almost a year now so our weekends are precious but I know Roddy and I need some time together too!

Anyway, that is enough about us for now, on to the pictures!!!
