Can you believe it? Only two weeks till we head to Charlottesville for Jade’s pre-op stuff.
Jade had her 4 month appointment today, and nothing really of note. She’s between the 5th and 7th percentiles for weight and almost 50th for height – so she’s definitely growing length wise. She’s on target or ahead on all of her developmental milestones.
Still not eating the best, but her weight gain has been pretty steady, even if on the slower side, so I must be managing to get enough in her. I try to feed her pretty much every hour – sometimes more than once an hour, so I think that’s doing the trick.
Since her immunity is not what it should be, and even a bad cold could postpone her surgery, we’ve been trying to keep her away from the general public. No Wal-mart trips or church for me and her, and we’ve also been avoiding larger gatherings of people. If she and I go out, it’s to the doctor’s office, or just having a couple friends over for a meal, as long as they’re cold and sickness free. I’m kind of a homebody anyway, so it hasn’t been too bad for me. Alvin’s great about getting anything I need him to pick up on his way home from work.
Anyway, that’s it for now. Keep the prayers coming.
Here’s two pictures we took of Dylan and Jade “camping” in Jade’s room. Dylan surprised me by saying she could camp with him, so we let her lie in the tent just long enough to get the picture. As you can see she’s *quite* taken with her older brother.
