Today Maddie weighed in at 11 lbs 10 oz and 23". I never imagined myself to have a tall baby.

We were at the cardiologist today. MAddie was born was a heart murmur. A VSD to be exact. It's common but we need to see the cardiologist once a month. I hate this visit....they put this tiny blood pressure monitor on her...the kind adults use where it compresses and depresses. Maddie HATES it. she wails and cries while we hold her, but this also casuses the machine to not get a good reading, so they have to keep trying this test over and over again until it reads right. Poor Maddie. They also have to do an EKG and today she missed a nap to go to this appt. So she was super cranky. They had to lie her down, and stick all the stickers on her plus the cables and she was just crying away. Sigh.

In other news, this kid is not napping. She gives me like 20-30 minute naps which screams out "sleep problem". I find her to be so high need when it comes to being put to sleep. rocking, shushing, bouncing, white noise, patting...you name it, it has to be done. this could go on for like 40 minutes. then finally when shes down, she wakes up after 20 minutes for no reason. it is seriously testing my patience. ARGH!
