Doctor, doctor

The past week and a half have been busy days. We are all doing pretty good. I have been sick with a cold and felt pretty bad today, and then this afternoon Finley started getting congested, and right now is having troubles breathing through her little nose. I think she picked up the cold from me. We will see how the night goes, and if she's not any better in the morning I will be taking her to the doctor. She also has her 2 month check up on Wednesday morning. Mike weighed her yesterday, and she was at 8 pounds 1 ounce. She is getting some pretty good rolls now on her little thighs, and some chubby cheeks to go along with that. It's hard not to squeeze her she's so cute! Bryson is still loving his little sister and asks to hold her a lot! I guess this is a good thing :)

I went to my nephrologist (kidney specialist) on Friday last week for my first check up since having Finley. They had me do some lab work beforehand and said everything was starting to head back in the right direction. I will have another check up in about 4 months to see how things have progressed further. They had also told me that things were a lot worse when I was in the hospital than the week before when I had been in their office. My protein level in the urine is normally higher than others because of my kidney disease, usally around 2-something. During pregnancy the number kept climbing higher and higher. When I was in their office the week before we delivered they told us that it was at like a 5.7 ratio, and apparently when I was in the hospital it had gotten up to a 6.9. She said that was horrible, and that we delivered at the right time, which was good to hear. It made me feel a little better being reassured that the timing had been right, and not jumping the gun a little earlier than we should have. Right now my numbers are getting back towards normal, for me, around 2.7.

I caught a good picture of Daddy and Finley napping a few weekends ago,

This is the picture that Mike took last night of me and Finley holding hands as we fell asleep :)
