More Lawyers and Stuff

I started this most recent blog by complaining that no one had gotten back to me regarding the paperwork we needed to get the paperwork filed to the court, however, the next day, we received a packet in the mail confirming that everything had been sent/received. Woo hoo! Gam-ma and Gam-pa have been here this week. It's been nice to have them here. Dad has been going to his appointments at Mayo, and although we have an answer to what is wrong with him, at least what is wrong with his intestines, they are not sure what the next steps are. Apparently, what is wrong with him is quite rare and most GI docs have never heard of it, and the only place they can test for it is at Philadelphia Children's Hospital. Weird! Right now, momma and daddy are going to get their flu shots...then in a couple of weeks, we are going to get our H1N1 flu shot. Lola is too young for that, but we are not, and we don't want to bring those nasty buggers home to baby girl! It's been a while since we've had any big news to report, I guess no big advances in her development have occurred and we really haven't done anything worth reporting on...until now! This week has been very restful...the big reason? We have all of a sudden decided we want to SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! The first night it happened, we thought it was a fluke, or I thought that I had slept so hard I missed the wee early morning grunts that alert me to the tummy rumbles. But nope. Four out of the last 5 nights have been straight through! And from months 1 to 2, she was inconsistently eating between 3 and 4 oz. at each feeding (about 4 hours apart) but the last week or so, she has DRAINED the 4 oz bottle in about 10 minutes. This morning, she didn't seem quite satisfied, so I made 2 more oz. and she drained that too. Wow! It's like a switch was flipped. Officially, she won't be three months old until the 4th, however, week wise she hit three months on Saturday. It has been so fun to watch her grow. She's still sporting the "Terry Bradshaw" hairstyle (if you don't know what I mean, tune into Fox NFL Sunday...you'll see what I mean) in case any of you are wondering what's going on under the hats! She is also getting big! Last weigh in she was 11 lbs! That's twice the size she was when we left the hospital! Holding her head up, "supported sitting", and rolling over --when she feels like it. Gam-ma said she runs 10 miles every day just wiggling her feet. I'm guessing we will bypass the crawling and go right to running!
Lola had a rough evening, she knows Gam-ma and Gam-pa are leaving in the morning and it will be a while before she sees them again. :( But it was a lovely visit and we wish we all lived closer!
