Moving Madness


Life has been pretty busy for us lately. We moved all of our stuff up to Logan, but are back in Provo for a week so Jonny could get in 1 more week of work.

But first, here are some pictures of our little peanut...





Check out that hairline!


She is getting very good at holding her head up..



She is now 3 months old, but her giraffe is in Logan, so we'll have to wait to get a picture of her with it.

For Mother's Day, Jonny made me these coupons, which I found all over our apartment...


I was very impressed with his artistic skills. These were my favorite :)


He put a lot of effort into these, and I loved them. I told him I wanted to be pampered, so I got massages and sleep. Perfect!

One day I was in the living room and I heard Jonny talking to Sophie. I snuck over to the bedroom and found this :)


So cute!


Sophie loves her bath, but you can tell it's still a little scary for her.


She loves to hold on to things while she's feeding, so we got her to hold up her bottle!


Ok, now it's story time.. Last week Sophie started to spit up a lot more than usual, and then it turned into vomiting. By Friday she would lose almost her entire feeding. I took her to the doctor and was sent to the hospital.

The doctor thought she might have problems with her pyloric valve, which meant it didn't let food pass through so it would all come back up. She would throw up in the middle of feedings and pretty much all day long, so it seemed like that could be it.

She had a belly ultrasound scheduled at 4... which is when Jonny had to pick up the moving truck in Draper. Thank goodness my parents came to the rescue! My Dad picked up the truck with Jonny while my mom took us to the hospital. Sophie did very well with the ultrasounds. They couldn't find what they were looking for so it lasted a long time. She was a champ!

I was pretty much a mess the whole time... If she had this pylorus problem it would've required surgery. And I was stressed with moving and very tired, so it was a long day. After many unsuccesful ultrasounds we had to do an x-ray on her Upper GI Tract. Thankfully, 5 hours after arriving at the hospital we found out nothing was wrong. What a relief!

We were going to clean our apt Sat morning before we left, but my Dad didn't want anymore stress on me after the whole hospital ordeal, so he, my brother, and Jonny unloaded and cleaned our apt top to bottom while I was still at the hospital. It was a huge help.

I have been feeding Sophie formula to see if it helps and she has stopped throwing up. I'm glad that she stopped, but worried that the breast milk was the problem. I'm starting to nurse her again, so hopefully she will still be ok.


SO. On Saturday we moved into our new apartment...


I am very excited about this! We came back to Provo for 1 more week and are staying at Jonny's parents' house while they are in China. I can't wait to get back up to Logan and finish organizing the new place!

I'm so glad Sophie's ok! It would make me antsy to not be able to unpack too. I love Sophie's smiles...they are too cute. And she is rocking that hairline. :)
