Taking Stock at Boop’s Week 31. 8-22-12

Here’s what’s happening at Boop’s week 31:

• Boop is still putting on weight at a pretty good clip. Her grandma is having a bit of trouble trying to lift her due to all of her back problems, even after the procedure. It’s been a bit more challenging to get her to sleep in her portable crib. She’s waking up easier, and it’s hard to get her settled back down. I can’t dance around with her as easy. She must be 20 lbs.
• She seems like she is having some ear problems. We’re keeping an eye on it. I think she was having trouble last week, but it wasn’t enough to make it obvious when the pediatrician checked. I guess we’ll just wait until it gets worse.  Fortunately, her constipation seems to be doing a little better. That will decrease her risk of an UTI. I guess she hasn’t had one for a while. Hopefully, she’s growing out of her reflux.
• I got something in the mail about scheduling an appointment for the orthopedist about her hips. I dread for Boop to have more radiation exposure. Unfortunately, it’s been hard to put her shoes on and keep them on, let alone to put them on the wrong feet. She is doing well with her right thumb, but she still keeps her left thumb tucked under a fair bit.
