Normal Life

It seems that I now have a normal life. I have had Lauren home now for 2 1/2 weeks and it feels like it should. I can't remember not having her in my life. She is so perfect for me.
We had our checkup at Children's yesterday and they feel like she is doing great and right on track. She is still a little behind but that makes sense because she was sedated and slept for 7 out of her 11 weeks. They don't know what her outcome will be because with babies you just don't know. They bounce back so easily. They all think she won't be 100% though but that is okay. So what if she is a little slow in school. It wasn't my favorite either. They think that may be her only hold back is just a bit of a learning slowness. They don't even say it will be a disability because they don't think it will be that noticeable. I don't care. I have my daughter here with me and that is all I care about. Her long term doesn't matter as we can work with that.
She is growing though. We knew she was getting bigger cause she looks so much bigger in her car seat. She is now 9lbs 12oz which I know is still small but for her that is big because she got below 5lbs at one point. They are stopping one of her other meds and they will stop another one next month. At first they told us that she would be 5 before they would all be off but she was doing so well that they will have them off in a couple of months. She will keep one seizure med till she is 5 though just in case. The nice thing though about the med they took off is that I don't have to wake her at midnight now. Last night I let her sleep till she woke up. She slept till 3:30. That is 7 hours of sleep she got. I think tonight I will feed her later and maybe she won't fall asleep so early and then she will sleep later in the night. It was great to not have to wake her and let her sleep though. It wasn't such a struggle to make her take the meds and eat. She just woke up and I changed her and then she ate great for about 40 minutes then I burped her and held her till she fell asleep. I know that you aren't supposed to rock them to sleep but she has a bit of reflux so if I lay her down she will spit up everywhere. So if I just hold her for 15 minutes she falls asleep and then her stomach is fine and I can lay her down. It was so nice. I didn't feel tired before but I felt very rested this time. The only thing is that i think she had been awake for a while before she cried to say she was hungry. She usually sleeps in a sleep positioner but it was down at the end of the bed. She had no blankets on anymore and they were at the end of the bed and she was up at the top of the bed. We had a few stuffed animals in the bed at the top and now we have had to take them out. We didn't think she could move that much. She was hugging her dog though as she cried and looked cute. I didn't think to take a picture though at that time of the morning. Now her bed is empty though and ready for tonight to see what happens. Now that we have become normal we can start going to visit people. We just haven't had much time on weekends because Tony is trying to get our Blazer on the road so that we can take the truck off the road and be a bit cheaper for gas.
All in all life is good and enjoyable. I can't imagine life with out my wonderful daughter.
