January Stuff

A bunch of stuff was going on in January that I haven't written about yet, so this is a quick catch up post. Zoe had her first ever roller derby practice on January 12th! About 5 minutes after we got there the power went out, so it was a very non-standard practice, but I was able to take one picture of Zoe sitting under the emergency lighting.



She seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully she'll stick with it. After the practice was over we had plans to hang out with the Millers. When we got to G4's house, we decided to take all the little kids out to an indoor play area that had things to climb on, video games, a bounce house, and a giant stuffed bear!



Everyone had a great time, even though no one seemed to be significantly exhausted when the playing was done.

It seems like a long time ago now that Zoe lost her two front teeth, but Cheryl was able to take a couple good shots of her this past week to highlight her gap tooth smile.



It will be gone eventually, so be sure to enjoy it while it lasts.

Finally that brings us to artwork. Zoe made a story with some illustrations titled Wacky Wednesday.



I think my favorite part is when she soll a lemon poring lemonaid. This is proof that she definitely has my sense of humor. There are lots more pictures of things we've done recently in the January - March 2019 album on Flickr, so be sure to check them out.

Meet the Flintstones?!?

Cheryl wanted me to share the following with everyone. These are her words, not mine. Frankly, I know I'm the lucky one. So obviously the blog is Michael's thing, which is great really because if it were up to me it would have started and ended with 99 days left! But I wanted to make a post so I could thank Michael for everything he has done for me throughout this pregnancy and most of all during delivery. There is no question that being with Michael is the smartest thing I've ever done and Zoe is lucky to call him Dad. The reason we had a planned c-section was that Zoe was 'unstable lie'. In the 4 weeks before she was due she was breech, head down, breech, and then head down again. As it was explained to us, this is pretty rare. They expected that even if she was in the right position when I went into labor, she would turn during contractions creating a dangerous situation for all of us. The day of surgery I was still pretty calm. Once I was prepp...

Zoe Ninja Warrior

In looking for something to do over the weekend, Cheryl found a gym nearby that has Ninja Warrior equipment and allows children Zoe's age. They had an open drop in time on Sunday from 4:45pm to 7:15pm. To prepare for her day, Zoe put on her exercise outfit, added some body glitter on her shoulders and then used markers to make some tattoos. She looked especially cute and tough. Once we got in, she was all over the place: running up the wrapped wall, swinging on the ropes and rings, jumping on the trampoline. She tried so many times to get up that wall. As soon as the boy in front of her got up it, she was up on her next run. That's a 10 foot wall. Two and a half times her height, and was right up it. She was so excited to get up that thing. Cheryl and I even got in on the action, trying out the different equipment. Here she is, looking amazing at the apex of a bounce on the big trampoline. Zoe was also all over the gymnastics equipment. She really enjoyed sw...

She Poops Because She Cares

One week ago today, Zoe was born. She seems to have adjusted to life in West Philly fairly well. Her pink blanket is one of her favorites to snuggle up with; however, we did learn that much like her father, she hates to bathe. So her first appointment with the peditrician was Wednesday at 11:00am. She seemed to enjoy her ride in the car again, and by that I mean she was passed out the whole way there. The doctor said she was looking good. The jaundice that she had in the hospital is no longer a concern now that she's eating and going to the bathroom regularly. Also, she's working her way back up to her birth weight. After being born at 8lbs 8ozs, she dropped down to 7lbs 13ozs when she was discharged from the hospital. At her appointment she weighed in at 8lbs 3ozs. Later in the day while I was out shopping for essentials (and comic books) Zoe was getting fussy with her mother. We're not entirely sure what the issue was, but we did find out that she loves her swing....
