Stacia is Six Weeks Old!




This week marked Stacia’s sixth week with us. We wanted to be sure to post a picture for BreAnne and Krista to see. She is finally starting to grow eyebrows…very faint. She also has continued to grow eyelashes and we think they may be long like Josiah and Nolan’s.

Earlier this week I decided it would be a good distraction to trim Arielle's hair. I was carrying Stacia, Zander was following along behind. I asked him, "Do you want a hair cut"? He assumed I was talking to Stacia and replied in panic. "No, Mom, NOT STACIA! STACIA NEEDS HAIR"! Yes, she does need hair. She is still bald, except for the back. A couple have told us she is going to have beautiful auburn/red hair. One even said it would be "just like her mother's". This prompted a wise- mouthed, nameless husband to reply "Oh, you mean whatever the color of the week is at the new salon?" ::::snort::: 

Stacia does have hydronephrosis and will be having another test (a VCUG) on 12 October. They say that this is very treatable and will most likely do no lasting kidney damage.

I received good news from the doctor this week. She decided that I could quit taking my blood pressure meds. I’ll continue to monitor my blood pressure and go in to see the base doc if my readings begin to go high. Otherwise…I have finally been given that elusive “clean bill of health”.
