I love Fall. It brings beautiful weather, jeans and sweatshirts and lots and lots of football. The weather has been awesome this past weekend and we were outside as much as possible.
The kids are all 3 doing so well! This past weekend, Joel had 6 football games and so, needless to say, he was gone a lot - but the kids did great and we hung around here most of the weekend - between Nate not feeling too well and Naomi potty training, it was a bit of a long 3 days. But there were glimpses of happiness throughout the weekend that made it all worth it. The girls are bonding more and more each day. They even played together in the bathtub yesterday, sharing water bottles and being silly and laughing. It was a site to behold - seeing as mot of the time they are wanting my lap or the same toy and there are typically lots of tears. Norah is also really taking to Nate. Its so sweet to see him love on her or offer to hold her and she goes right to him. I pray their relationship is one that is always protective and close. Norah is still having some issues with eating and we have had a few instances these past 4 days or so that remind us how far we have to go. She tends to get food stuck in the open part of her palate and is not sure what to do. To be honest, we are not either. We have tried giving her a drink, feeding her a little more to help her work it out, holding her, etc. Once she gets worked up, she stays worked up for upwards of 3o minutes. When we are out to eat, this can be very difficult. We meet with another surgeon next week and are ready to schedule the surgery as soon as we can. We feel she will thrive once her palate it closed and she can eat normally. All that said, she is a great sleeper and loves to sleep in!!!! Today she rolled out bed at 9:30. I had time to get ready myself, get Nate ready for school, make a nice breakfast and clean the kids rooms before she woke up - making for a great start to the week.
Wednesday we head to Cincinnati for Norah to see a geneticist. They will evaluate her and determine whether or not to order testing for any syndromes related to cleft lip/palate children. We are not overly concerned, but due to her delays we are moving forward with the appointment and will go from there. Norah and I are also heading to the GAP outlet - this girl has hardly any clothes. I had bought ahead all last winter for her, but bought 24 month clothing - and she is only in 12-18 month right now. SO I am looking forward to some great bargains!!!
Have a blessed week. I'll post after our Cinci appoitment.
