On Monday, I took Lillian to see Dr. Bies for her 8 month check up. I was very glad to hear that she was doing great. As a first time mother, I have no idea what I am doing and/or what to expect. I just pretty much go with the flow. I figured that I have some common sense and a bachelor degree in nursing, so how much damage can I do?
Anyway, here are Lillian's measurements: weight 19lbs 3oz, height 28in, head circ. 45cm. I was actually surprised about her weight. That child definitely feels bigger than 19lbs!!!
In other news, I went back to work on Tuesday after about 10 days off due to sickness. I'm still not feeling well. I still can't get into the doctor until Jan 25th. Something has to be done about this stupid gallbladder!!! Plus, to top it off, I have had a bladder infection off and on for 8 months. After having a c-section and getting a catheter, my bladder has not been the same. I have taken Cipro (antibiotic) and that didn't help. Now I'm taking Macrobid daily for 1 month. I have about 5 pills left and still feel the symptoms of a bladder infection. Last night I was up at 1:30, 2:30, 3:00, 3:30 and then 6:30 trying to use the bathroom. Geez, I didn't know that the stress of birth and hormone changes can do this to a woman, but apparently it can.
Today, was the day that I let Lily have her first Gerber puffs. She absolutely LOVED them. I took pics, but haven't downloaded them yet. It is so much fun to see how she reacts to new foods!
Well, it's getting late and I must get ready for bed. I have to work the next two days. I really really hope these next two days are uneventful!! Yesterday was a crazy day and I don't want that again! Plus, I have to pack Lily's bag for grandma's. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
