Blogging

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a while now. I have not been too good about filling out Harley's babybook since she has been born, so I figured that blogging would be a good way to keep track of her and all the things she is doing! Right now our precious Harley Blair will be 12 weeks old tomorrow! I really can't believe it! I now know what everyone meant when they would tell me how much time really does fly! She went to the Doctor yesterday for the pediatrician to check out a few things, and she now weighs 10lbs 11oz! She is much bigger then that tiny little 4lb 5oz baby that we brought home from the hospital. As some of you know, Harley has a few hemangiomas on her body, which are pretty much strawberry birthmarks that will eventually go away with age. I had noticed a new one that had come up so I wanted her to see her Doctor just to make sure that it looked ok...He said that it looked fine and I just have to watch it to make sure it is not growing. I had also noticed that her chest looked pretty sunken in whenever she would breath while she was laying down, so I had the Doctor look at that as well. It turns out that she has Pectus Excavatum. This is basically a sunken chest. It is caused by the way her sternum and ribs grew together. There is really nothing to do about it, and the only problems she could have would be later on in life when she starts playing sports and doing other physical activities. Other than those few things, Harley is a perfectly healthy little girl! Brad and I are so extremely blessed! I do not know what I would do without this little girl in my life...she is my world!

  1. Kristen, blogging is an excellent substitution for a baby book and a great way to keep track of all of the amazing milestones that will be coming your way! I hear it's also pretty therapeutic :) My sister blogs for her kids (larkoflife.blogspot.com), and every time i read it I just can't help but think how much they will love it when they are older, and how I would have loved to have something to look back on. (There's also an option to have your blog printed when/if you're ever ready I believe.) You're already such a good mom and Harley is just as blessed to have you and Brad as you two are to have her!
