What's up?

Well, I suppose some of you might want a little update on how everything is going. We've found a good groove and have gotten used to Natalie in her cast. I can change her and feed her no problem now. She's doing better in the sleep department and gives us good stretches at night time. Still, I find myself holding her a lot in the day whether she's asleep or awake. Seems like we don't have a good system for getting her down for naps. She often wakes up if I lay her down so it's easier just to keep holding her.

Even though we are managing okay I still feel very much in limbo until the cast comes off. Ben and I were just saying that she is probably going to seem so light and small. Her return appointment in Wisconsin is a week from Tuesday (that's 9 days away but who's counting?.......I am!). She'll have the cast removed, x-rays, ultrasounds, and an appointment with the urologist....a fun packed afternoon. We plan on taking Katie and Annabelle with us this time and doing it all in one day. It really shouldn't be too bad. We'll leave around 8 a.m. and get back around 10 p.m. A long day but better than the 5 of us in a hotel room. We had talked about leaving the girls behind but we've left them so much recently and this is doable. We'll pack up the car with videos and snacks...they'll love it.
