We first want to apologize for such a long gap in our posting. It has taken us a while to get settled in at home. Lots of doctors appointments and as most of you know not much sleep. She may be 3 months old but was due two weeks ago and is therefore acting just like a newborn. She seems to be settling into a sleeping and awake time rhythm. Not necessarily a schedule but she is letting me sleep for chunks of time at night now. She tends to give her dad more of a hard time and he usually ends up holding her most of his shift.
We have not been doing much outside the house. She has a tough time in her stroller and we end up carrying her when we go for walks so we are waiting till she gets a little stronger. We did take her to a friends house this weekend for dinner. She did great. She didn't sleep but she quietly looked around the whole time we were there. She slept great that night! We also had some pictures taken on Sunday. I don't have them yet but when I do I will be sure to post some. There is nothing like a cute naked baby picture to bring a smile to your face.
Medically she is doing well. Tomorrow we go back to the orthopedic doctor to have her hip checked again. The doctor was very encouraged last week. He was able to actually put the hip back in socket. It wouldn't stay there but the fact that he could even get it in was a great improvement. She tolerates her harness ok. I think it makes her crankier than she normally 
would be but overall I don't think she is greatly affected. Her physical therapist is still coming weekly. She weighed her yesterday and she is 6 1/2 pounds! She is averaging a little over an ounce a day! We were excited about that! Everyone still comments on how small she is but we are starting to think she is huge! 1 more pound and she will triple her birth weight!

The days are going by fast and we are trying not to take any of them for granted. Time for us to take a nap and get up in a few hours and do it all over again!
