Well, the last couple of days have gone by so fast, it seems like from the time we get up to the time I lay down we're busy! Lets' see...I ended up buying a jogger from someone off of craig's list. They were asking $40 for it, so I emailed her and she emailed back quickly and said if we pick it up that day she'd sell it for $20!! I was a bit apprehensive, I mean $20, how bad is it? Turns out it isn't that bad. It had been sitting in their carport for quite a while so we had to take it to Adam's parents' house and spray it down with the hose and scrub it with laundry detergent (it smells better!). It works surprisingly well! We took it out for the first time today and it rode nicely on the rocky pavement and grass and Sadie seemed to like it. I am going to make a cover for the padding that I can take off and wash. Today Sadie had an appointment with her pediatrician. She got 3 shots and it was awful, she wailed and wailed and later, after she had finally fallen asleep she kept startling herself awake and then start to cry again. Sadie is now 9lbs 9oz! 22 1/2 inches long. She is in the 33 percentile for her head size, 38 percentile for her height and 19 percentile for her weight, so she's a little girl, but the doc said she is growing fine. We also found out today that Sadie has a heart murmur. These aren't uncommon in babies and it's not necessarily something we really need to worry about just yet, however, it may be a bit of a concern when the surgery comes due to the fact that she will be placed under general anesthesia. I spoke with the surgeon's nurse and she said Dr. Beierle said that she should be fine but she'll have a cardiologist check Sadie before her surgery. Sadie breaks my heart when she cries out in pain. I just want to take it away for her. I hope that the recovery time for her surgery won't be too bad or painful for her. Only time will tell. I'm starting back to work tomorrow, it is bittersweet. I am happy to be going back to a great job with great people (mostly-lol) and it's always good to be making money! However, I am feeling some separation anxiety and am going to miss all her little cute daily "Sadie-isms" that she does. I hope she won't forget her momma! Loves ya'll!

Sarah, thanks so much for adding more pictures of Sadie. She looks beautiful and happy. I was sorry to read that her shots hurt her so much that her sleep was interrupted. I wish there could be a less painful way to give babies their shots. I do hope and pray that the heart murmur will not be a serious health problem. Breaks my heart that she is having all these different things happening to her at such a young age. I can tell she is going to be a real trooper though, and with good parents she is going to be just fine...tiny but mighty! Give her lots of hugs and kisses for us.
You remain in our hearts and prayers. Lots of love, mama and papa
