Keatin and I went to see Dr. Lindaman today...he examined her hips and said the joints felt VERY tight...and we took the brace off! We have to go back in 2 months for follow-up x-rays, but today has been a very happy day! I touched her feet over and over at the doctor's office - I felt so special just being able to rub the bottom of them. She seems so small and kind of fragile when I hold her...I guess I was used to feeling the harness around her body. Right now, Keatin is napping in her bed...Josh and I are interested to see how she reacts to just all her daily things, but she snuggled right up when she got tired, we rocked a bit, and she was out...so far so good! Here are 2 pics I have taken today - one at the doctor's office just minutes after I took the harness off, and another one here at home...KEATIN CAN NOW WEAR PANTS AND SOCKS (yes, I know I am a geek for being this excited about pants and socks). :)
Last week, Grandma Petersen came for a few days - she was a WONDERFUL help and cried when she had to leave Keatin...which then of course makes me cry. :)
Last weekend, we went to Omaha for a wedding open house for Jen and Joey... Here are some pics from Jen and Joey's house...
On Tuesday evening, my friend form Creighton, Katie, and her son, Owen, drove all the way from Chicago for a visit! We were SO excited to have company, and truly appreciate Katie being as brave as she was to drive that far BY HERSELF with an 18-month old! It was SO good to see them both, and we had a great time hanging out and catching up (as much as you can between taking care of an 18-month old and an 8-week old). :) We bummed around the house and Ames yesterday, and then Katie, Owen, Keatin, and I went to Jordan Creek in Des Moines today (after our doctor's appointment) and shopped/let Owen play at the indoor gym there. (Can I say, that place TRULY made me feel like a mom!) Katie fed Keatin a bottle while I chased Owen around - WHEW!
OH - and of course we watched the CUBS last night on TV...no comment on the outcome of the game, but Keatin looked like a star in her CUBS gear! :)
