Four Weeks

Well, we are just over a month along.

Things are going pretty well.

We weighed in today, and she is at 10 pounds, 4 ounces. Growing like a champ.

Its funny to see how she changes. Every week its something a little new or a little different. She's awake and alert even more. She locks in on things a little better, and now has begun to start verbalizing more. Where before she made some baby noises, they were mostly seemingly inadvertent gurgles and such. Now, in very small amounts, she's making little noises. She's given Krissi a few happy squeal sounds. And we've had just a few grins.

We were in to see the pediatric cardiologist today over the small hole in her heart. Its called Ventricular Septal Defect. They told us about it when she was born, and so of course we worry over it. We went in and were hoping that they'd tell us that it was cleared up and apparently gone, but the doctor says that it seems to have gotten smaller, but is not gone. We'll be back in two months for scans and so forth to check on it. The doc said that it was not something to be especially concerned about, and he says that he feels that it will take care of itself within the next few years. Still, we worry over it. We'd far rather she had a 100% clean bill of health.

Oh and in other non-meh-heart-related-stuff, we're up to size 1 diapers now. And our eyes are still rather dark, and so its hard to be sure, but I'm thinking that we'll have green eyes, or possibly hazel.
