Now we play defense until, well forever. But mainly until flu season is over.
Piper saw a doc at Emanuel and her pediatrician who both said all 4 infections are cleared up, we finished our last dose of Amoxicillan just a couple of days ago and Piper's temp has stayed under 100 for 4 days in a row. It looks as though things are looking up!
Piper will be 6 weeks old on Tuesday and she is a whopping 9 pounds 15 ounces, she'd probably weigh more if she hadn't been sick for the last 4 weeks. She smiles (not intentionally all the time) and at about 4 weeks old she started to coo, she moves her mouth for like 10 seconds without any noise and then squeaks out this little happy sound and then proceeds to look around like, "where'd that come from". She is still a power house nurser and last night she blessed me with 6 straight hours of sleep! She brings so much joy to our lives!
Tristan is preparing for his 5th birthday in just 6 weeks. I can't believe he'll be 5. He loves his Martial Arts Classes he goes to 2 times a week and he will be starting swimming lessons again in 9 days, the only difference is, this time he will be in the 25 yard pool where he can't touch the ground. He will be learning how to really swim!
John got his new 1994 Jeep Wrangler up and running and we've been driving it with the top off every chance we get. He has only been able to take it up wheeling once, but I'm sure there will be many snow covered adventures at Wild Cat coming soon.
I've just been staying busy with laundry, pre-school, Take Shape for Life and figuring out what our life will now look like as a family of 4. You'd think by now I'd have some idea of what that'd be like, but we've been working so hard on getting Piper healthy that I haven't paid attention to much else.
Our church is starting a new campus in Sandy at the Mt. Hood Athletic Club and John and I are on the launch team there so that will be keeping us very busy through the month of October and beyond.
All in all, life is good, it's calming down and gearing up. We love every second with our little family!
