19 weeks.

So Kynlee is officially 1/2 as old as the amount of time that I carried her. Does that make sense? it does to me...and I cannot believe she is that old. I think I skipped last week again? I don't know. Time literally escapes me and I can't stand it. How do people have more than 1 child at a time? Although I miss pregnancy something fierce and I miss her being teeny tiny, there is no way I could handle another one already, which is hard for me too. I shall enjoy chano's pregnancy.

So in the past couple weeks, her stuffy nose has come and gone, and come and gone. It annoys her and she hates having her nose wiped. She doesn't so much mind the saline drops though, so i just do those and she usually sneezes shortly after and gets most of it out.

She has also found more of her voice and loves to squeal. She has also learned to squeal and through herself backwards, especially when we're doing something she doesn't approve of. I'm already envisioning this happening in the middle of wal-mart when she gets told no. Her father will deal with her then, as she got this behavior from his gene pool not mine ;)

Her hair is slowly falling out :( she has a major bald spot in the back, and then stripes around the sides from where she rolls her head back and forth.

She also refuses to lay down and if you put her in a semi recline position she tries sitting up, you can just see her stomach muscles PULLING. She refuses to remain reclined. Sometimes laying flat is okay, but not for long. She is working very hard to roll over from back to stomach, her butt's just too heavy. We're working on it though.

We went back to Childrens Mercy last week, praying for a good report as Dr. Phelps had thought it sounded better. Well the nurse prac. she sees listened and felt for less than a minute and says "it sounds tighter and i can feel it razzing" so we did the echo. sure enough. it's still moderate, but she has stenosis below the original one now where the valve is pinching shut and at the top of her heart the veins aren't growing how they want them to and at the bottom she has some swelling. So it's still not 'severe' or 'critical' but they like to fix these problems before they cause issues, or cause her to start showing problems. Which she isn't currently doing. The NP said she was going to send it to the 'cath lab' aka the people that do the procedure and let those dr's decide if we go ahead or continue waiting. In Dill and I's brains we're not seeing the purpose of waiting, however, we didn't ask her why we would, so it could be for Kynlee to get older to handle anesthesia better. So we're still waiting for a call from them to hear their decision, and if they say wait I'm going to ask why...if we're not feeling their response then we're going to get a second opinion. one of my cousins had a similar surgery at 2 days old in columbia and the dr that performed it, designed the balloon procedure that she would be having, so obviously it doesn't get much better than that. So I plan to get an appt with him if they say they want to continue waiting. They act like the procedure isn't that big of a deal, heck if they do it first thing in the morning she would go home that night. The hole they go in through is no bigger than an IV site and they put a bandaid over it. So I guess we just don't see why we would keep waiting if it is straining her heart growth. If anyone knows please inform me.;)

Hm what else. She's still drooling like crazy :) chews on everything. Oh last Friday at the appt she was still 24 inches long and weighed like 13lbs 6/7 oz they do it in KGs so we have to convert it.

I think that's all!
