2 Month Well baby...sort of

Easter Sunday, on our way back home Brayden, started to sound congested again. On that Tuesday we had his 2 month well baby check up, technically he was 10 weeks old, but that is when we scheduled his appointment. His stats were weight 14 lbs 1.5 oz and 24 1/2 in. Over 95% wt. and 92% height. Amazing how I have large babies! Well, he still had a heart murmur so we went to see a cardiologist the following Monday. Everything turned out normal, there is still a valve that hasn't fully closed, which is suppose to right after birth. Brayden's is taking a little slower than average and it is about to be completely closed. This is what is causing the irregular heartbeat. The cardiologist said everything else is great and it should be gone by the time he is 6 months so we will see him in about 4 months. Brayden's congestion has worsened and now he is on breathing treatments 2-3 times a day, back to sleeping in his swing and getting his nose suck out twice a day. I feel so bad that he has been sick for close to 10 weeks. Can you imagine? He is a trooper and has stayed happy for the most part.

Brayden and his treatment


My parents just renovated the upstairs part of their house so that my grandmother could move in and have her own space. She is 83 and my dad insists that when she comes down the stairs she has to ride one of those chairs that are on rails. She isn't too fond of the contraption but does it any ways, Gabriella discovered this new ride and she loves it! She is allowed 2 rides per visit.
