Happy Birthday to My House

I cant believe its been a year since we took possession of our home. We watched this house be built from the ground up, and I remember the anticipation as each stage was finished.  It became our Sunday tradition to drive out and visit our house.

Update on us

Thank you to every one who wrote to me about their experiences with failure to thrive.  It's amazing how many people are affected by this. I have to admit, I was feeling alone and it's great to hear from others who have been there.

Z has started slowly gaining now, it's still slow though. We are finally above his birth weight which is fantastic, although not by much. We are sticking to our every two hour feeding schedule and have started supplementing with formula as well and we just keep on swimming.

Happy Birthday to me

This past week was my birthday, I turned 25 (again).  It was a nice quiet weekend with my family, and it was perfect. We shopped, had a nice dinner out and spent a few hours enjoying the sunshine at the park.
Its weekends like this that really let me remember how lucky I am. 

Today she turns 3

I can barely believe it, but today my little Princess turns 3!
How can she be three already? It seems like yesterday she came hiccuping into the world, and now she's sitting on the couch watching Jake and the Pirates and singing about Gold Doubloons.
I love this picture of her, she was so tiny! I couldn't believe we actually got to take her home, I was more than a little terrified.

We had quite a learning curve, me and her, breastfeeding, sleeping, solids, we went through it all the first time together, and right in front of my eyes, she changed slowly into the beautiful caring, sweet little girl that she is today. 

Happy Birthday Princess, I love you
