Eleanor got a new carseat with her birthday money. She was getting too big for her infant seat and was starting to feel less supported in her seat. We searched high and low for a seat that would support her torso and head and were so happy to find one that works so well for her! She is very comfortable in this seat!
Today we have the appointment with the neurosurgeon that will perform the nerve biopsy. I am eager to hear when and how we will accomplish that.
We also have an appointment with Ellie's dietician this week. Ellie has been doing great with her blended diet, incorporating bananas, sweet potatoes, chicken, and yogurt into her diet. Ellie is the first child that her dietician will be working on the blended diet with, and she is impressed at how well Ellie is tolerating it. I'm not surprised though: real food for a real baby!
On Sunday, we leave for our vacation! We are going to stop Sunday night at Adam's parents to sleep. Then on Monday we are headed to the Wisconsin Dells. Adam's parents have a time share that we will be staying in: a three bedroom condo with full kitchen, whirlpool tub, fireplace, etc. The boys will love the waterparks and pools. Mom and Dad will love a break from housework and love spending time as a family. Ellie will love watching the boys play and being held a lot.
After we stay 4 nights at the time share, we will be returning to Adam's parents house. On Saturday the 27th, Adam and I, along with his sister and friends, will be running in a 5k to support breast cancer research. We are so excited to try out our new running skills in a real race!
So, that is what is going on with us. Enjoy some pictures of our family:
Wonderful! I hope that your appointment goes well today. You guys will be in my prayers. The vacation sounds great. I am so glad that you guys will be able to get away for a little while. Enjoy your time together as a family. Additionally, have fun running the 5K!
