The Year of the Droctors

Okay so since January I do not think there hasn't been a trip to the Dr. office or dentists office. Between having Kinley, and regular dentists check-ups, the well checks for Kinley and Madison's 2 year check, which we expect we have had a few other trips too. I end up with several cavities from the heart burn and night time reflux I have seemed to get since having Kinley. After a few trips to get them all filled I also ended up having one filling that kept falling out, i think we finally got it to stay 4th times a charm. Along with those trips we have had Kinley in the Dr.s for a few weird rashes and to see why she had such a hard time laying flat and keeping her food down. We took her to Primary Children's to see wheither she had Pyloric Stenosis. This is where the bottom muscle to the stomach that lets food out of the stomach gets too tight and they throw up forcefully. She had this and some of reflux, we watched her reflux and knew atleast she had that. She has been on medicine up until a week or 2 ago. She is doing pretty good, but teething now. The other two have also been in the dr. Ava Madison and Kinley all had ear infections in April. Ava also had en eye infection Sinus infection, strep throat along with her ear infection. Madison had the beginning of bronchitis, tonsillitis, and her ear infection. Kinley had an ear infection. Two weeks later Madison had another case or tonsillitis and another ear infection. We took her to the ENT and she ended up getting tubes put back in and tonsil and adenoids out. We took her for her 1 month check up and is all healed up, We took Ava to get a second opinion on hers. Her tonsils are big but her adenoids are HUGE. She will be getting them out on July 27th. They are impeding her breathing especially at night. All in all we have been finally getting on the mend I hope. We have learned Kinley has an allergy to band aides, and we have to watch to see if she has any other allergies. Hopefully the last month of soccer leads to no injuries for her, and we can all get on the up and up for Ava's last year of preschool for Ava.

Pattern Testing

I am Pattern testing a crochet blessing dress, It is called Heirloom Lace. Only partially done with thew skirt but this is some of what I do with my limited free time. Kinley is a good model!

Kinley is 4 months already!

Where does the time go? Saturday Marked 4 months of having our fun little Kinley!
Here are some fun things about Kinley at 4 months,
She can roll from her tummy to her back and her back to her tummy, and has learned she can keep rolling.
She loves to smile!
She has lots of stories to tell
She loves her sisters
She loves to cuddle
She likes her rice cereal in her bottle, but would rather nurse if she is with mommy
She has never had formula but has had her fair share of medicine and tests
She is finally outgrowing her reflux
Now we went for her 4 month check yesterday and she is 11 lbs 15 oz putting her in the 10th percentile, 24 inches putting her in 25-50th percentile. Her head was 40 cm also 25th to 50th. The dr was impressed with you alert and strong she is. After getting her shots we had to wait since last time her leg turned bright red and got swollen, and after waiting they lifted her bandaid and found out that like me and my mom and madison she is allergic to the band aids. At least it wasn't the vaccines. she is trying to figure out crawling and can push her self a little when she is on her tummy. We love her and feel so blessed to have her in our lives.

I will admit it is really trying having 3 kids when they all think they need your attention at the same time and with Kinley having the issues she has but I have learned a lot and have gotten more patience. I hope that they will continue to be friends and help each other with their trials, and help us to teach them too.
