Haley

Well, Haley is 9 months old today. She had her well check up. She is still not gaining weight! She was 13 lbs. 8 oz. Up 1 oz from a week ago. Up less than 10 oz in the past 2 months. The doctor thought I took her off of her formula! NO WAY! I paid for that expensive stuff and she is still drinking it, and it is still not doing anything! She is suppossed to stay on a curve, well, she has leveled off. So, the Doc sent me and Haley to Primary Children's where the took blood and did a series of other tests. They did a sweat test on her to see if she has Cystic Fibrosis. It is a genetic disease, and I honestly don't feel that is what she has, but we will get the results back later this evening. It was a crazy test, consisting of shocking her little arms for 5 minutes, then wrapping them in plastic for 30 minutes. Kyle had the same test done when he was in the hospital when he was 18 months old, but they have changed it since then. Back then, there was no shocking involved. Haley did pretty good. Troy had to hold her arms straight out, they couldn't be bent. The great thing about Primary Children's is that they have a Child Life specialist everywhere! She stayed with us and did things to try to entertain Haley the whole time. That was nice. Anyways, I'm a little stressed out and frustrated. She's 9 months old! I feel like we should have an answer as to what is wrong with her...this trial and error stuff is making me crazy!

Anyways, on a happier note, I have a Jake-ism.
"Mom, I wonder what Haley will sound like when she becomes a human."
hmmmm...what species is she?

And a Kristin-ism
Yesterday, she had an accident in nursery. (she wet her pants) I don't know why, she is being really wierd with being potty trained lately. I don't know what the deal is, she's been potty trained for a year and a half now...anyways, Troy was sitting in my primary class with me, and they came and got him and he took her home and changed her. So, after church, I said, "Kristin, why are you wearing that dress?" She said,"Dad just took me home and wanted to put a different dress on me". I said, "Why did he do that?" She said, "I just got into an accident in nursery" (No, not I had an accident, she got INTO an accident...naughty girl...)
