November 21: An Apple Cider cake for the last Sunday of the Church year. I thought the Nordic Ware Fleur de Lis bundt pan was appropriate for today, tres royal non? Blessed Feast of Christ the King.

November 20: All dolled up for PT. Thursday was Rose’s first official therapy day with Ms. Drew, our physical therapist. What does PT with a 7 week old look like? Mostly conversations and troubleshooting with the therapist. Just little things for now a lot of what we would do with any newborn. We got some good tips in positioning Rose for strengthening her neck and trunk. She’s been favoring looking to her left side so she showed us ways to keep her from getting too stiff in that position. Really we’re all getting to know each other at this point and creating a relationship between Rose and Ms. Drew that I hope will last a few years.

November 15: We had our first appointment with Urology today. Rose had an ultrasound and a VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram how fun is that word?!) It was a bit crazy to see my baby in a vice with her little arms pinned to the side of her head on a board that flips from side to side but we got through it.
We were glad to hear that as of now Rose has normal bladder and kidney function. This is something that could change over time so always needs to be monitored but we’ll continue as we are and go back in 6 months for another study.
