Still Waiting for results....

Sorry for the long delay everyone, but there is still nothing to report. I spoke with Emma's pediatrician on Friday and she has not yet received the reflux study test results from CHEO. Until we hear differently, we'll continue to treat Emma with reflux medication as it seems to be helping.

We've actually had a quiet week. For the first time in months, we didn't have any medical appointments and we were able to just hang out at home. It will be nice when spring finally arrives, as we can then get out of the house a bit more (once the risk of colds/germs is lower). Big Sister has come down with another cold again, so I hope Emma escapes the same fate ...

Since we don't have much to report, how 'bout some more pics that show just how much our little one has grown?

No Results Yet....

Emma was a real trooper for both tests this week (part one consisted of several scans over a 2-hour period on Tuesday, part two was a 10 minute scan the following morning).

Unfortunately, the radiologist wasn't able to read the results while we were at CHEO so now we have to wait 'til our pediatrician gets the report, likely late next week. In the meantime, how 'bout a couple of shamelessly cute pics of Miss Emma while we wait :)

It's February 14th.....

Happy Valentine's Day!

Tummy Time

As you can see from these pics, Emma enjoys Tummy Time for about 2 minutes.



Then she complains and lets us know that she would much rather be sitting up in her bouncy seat, thank-you-very-much



Emma continues to do very well. She's gaining weight and now has deliciously chubby legs and a lovely "Buddha Belly" :)

We're off to CHEO tomorrow and Wednesday for the reflux tests, so I'll report back later in the week with the results...

Six Months Ago.....

Emma was one day old....

Here's a picture of her from the early days (taken when she was about 6 weeks old):




and here is another taken earlier this evening (Emma is displaying her Happy-Six-Month Birthday card from Big Sister):



my, you've come a long way, baby!

Since her discharge from CHEO last week, Emma has been doing very well. The combination of reflux medication and the milk-thickener seem to be working and she is much less congested, is breathing more easily, and hasn't desated at all. We saw her pediatrician for a checkup today and Emma is now tipping the scales at 10-and-a-half pounds! That's a 9 pound gain over her birth weight!




Oh, and here's proof that Emma is not always a smiley girl :)
