One Month Check Up - All Clear!

We all celebrated on Thursday the 28th after Liza's visit to the doctor for her one month check- up because she is right on track in every category. No more weight checks three times a week, no more specific tracking of inputs and outputs and no longer do we have to play the game - guess how much Liza weighs. Our next scheduled appointment is in late March! Now that things are on the right track that unfortunately means her Grandmother Jones (or GMomJ as we're currently calling her) has scheduled her return home. I don't want her to leave but unless she's planning to live here permanently (and I think Daddy might object to the weather) it's probably time for us to learn how to fend for ourselves. Bair will miss the great meals (I'll try to keep them up) and I'll miss the constant source of support and the security in knowing if we couldn't handle something she was here to help us figure it out. Thank goodness we have good long distance plans so we can receive counsel from any and all relatives and friends over the phone.

This picture is on Liza's nursery floor while she has her daily tummy time! The boppy my friend Maxie sent was such a popular item we got another one so we could have one upstairs and one downstairs - by the way - boppys make great pillows for adults and if you have trouble carrying the baby and boppy you can do what Bair does and put the boppy around your neck like an over-sized airplane pillow.

Our friends are our extended family since we are so far from home and two of our favorite friends came by for a visit. Maile and Katherine came to the hospital to see Liza on the day she was born and we were so glad they came by the house for another visit. Maile and Katherine are both natural baby holders and if they're interested we'll definitely be calling them to babysit. Come back to see us soon!
