Stork'd This is what happens if you go Skinny Dipping during Adult Swim at the Gene Pool.

Egads, I didn't even update for Finn's 4 month check up. Well, I can do so now, since I have the follow-up news.

The kid is growing well. 15 pounds 5 oz at his check up, 24.5 inches long and looking healthy and more happy than when I saw her at the 2 month check up. Alas, he had a small heart murmur that we had to go see a cardiologist for.

Going out of town immediately after you get that kind of news is no fun. I sort of shut down from the intarwebs both because I knew I'd try to research it to death and I was super busy packing for 4 people for a week long trip. It took a lot of self restraint to keep myself from overreacting about the need for a cardiologist appointment and it was on my mind a lot. Almost three weeks later we had the appointment, today. The prognosis is good. They think it is merely a functional murmur and everything looks great with his heart..

I actually had an internal conversation with Finn where I had him tell me nothing was wrong and that there was nothing to worry about. I know it sounds silly, but it helped. I think the ultrasound gal looked at me a bit strangewhen I talked  to Finn about it while she was working.

I'm continuing to lose weight, but VERY slowly. I haven't kept up with weight watchers, but when I am mindful I can make it with the loss for the week. I have lost 20 pounds since I started almost 3 months ago. I am having more energy these days, which is good, without having to take a nap every afternoon, too!
