Well this motherhood thing is amazing and amazingly hard! Of course I expected the late night feedings, no sleep, and a million other things to drive me crazy but what I didn't expect was the jaundice and now the Dr is sending us to a pediatric cardiologist because they think she might have a heart murmur. When the last At Home nurse came by she said she heard a murmur so our pediatrician's office called us and asked us to come in and have the Dr double check. Heart murmurs are common in newborns but the Dr thought the murmur was not in the area where they normally hear it in a newborn. So Mia has her 3rd Dr's appt in less than 2 weeks tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be ok (a lot of people have heart murmurs and live perfectly healthy lives) but whew. Welcome to motherhood I guess. I love every minute of it and wouldn't trade it for the world. She really is a sweet baby and I love being her mom!
Mia's super cute cherry dress from Sherstine is one of the only things that actually fits her right now!
Every once in awhile we get lucky and Mia smiles and giggles in her sleep "baby zen" state as I call it.
Don't worry I only let her sleep on her side for a second. She would sleep that way all the time if I let her I think.

I love her! She is seriously a beautiful baby!
She is too cute. We know the stress of hospitals and doctors! Hang in there...either way she is perfect. Call me when you have a minute.
She is such a cutie..I need to get crackin' on your bows!! Hope everything checks out with doctor's...love ya!
Oh my goodness Brook she is so beautiful!!! You both look great. I know things are pretty busy for you now, but when things calm down I want to come squeeze Mia cute little cheeks!!! Oh, and I had a heart murmur as baby and it's gone now. Prayers for a clean bill of health for baby Mia.
I hope everything goes well at the dr. Even though it's something common (and I've heard a lot of times mummers just heal themselves as babies get older), it probably isn't any easier to handle.
I absolutely love that first picture....she is sooo gorgeous! I love their smiles! It is so fun!
