Day 176- Tater Hater

Recap:
Thursday night Rowan was able to celebrate at another birthday party! She munched on black beans and tore up plates and decorations.




Sunday she enjoyed a large cup of potato soup from mcalisters.


It was so delicious we had more potato soup at Jason's deli the next day!



The high chair cover was in the wash and I completely forgot.... So, Rowan sat sans cover in the chair and it made me all nervy! I cleaned the seat with tons of hand sanitizer several times during lunch. (thank goodness our cover is all clean and ready to go- I can't handle that again)

We have been keeping our food log, skipping on yogurt, and staying away from fruits and veggies..... Until I had a conversation with someone who mentioned they were supposed to eat potatoes for their LOW potassium?!?
A quick check of the world wide web, and it was confirmed! Agh!! Potatoes are HIGH in potassium- great:/

I called to chat with our Houston dietician and she sent me a list of food for our "NO" list.
1. Potatoes
2. Avocados
3. Black beans
4. Mushrooms
Hahaha- if you follow the blog- all of Rowan's favorites!

Why didn't we get this list earlier?! It was all typed out with high, med, and low potassium foods. Seemed a lot more efficient than the "no fruits and veggies" message we got last Wednesday.

So, back to the store to get: Yogurt!



Yum!!!! The entire cup gone in 5minutes!

We also found some strawberry applesauce and it was a hit too!

The Prograf causes Rowan's potassium to be elevated, so that is why we need to limit the potassium in her diet- although it looks like we did a great job making it doubly high.

Today we went to Austin to see the damage and get labs drawn. It was another one stick day! Not even a cry!

Haven't received a phone call today, but you never know what that means... I will be calling again tomorrow for results.

So, enough with the food chatter.

Ro has more teeth!!!



You can kinda see the two big front ones here.... But just add another on each side of those big boys. Grand total is 4 up top and 2 down below.

Here's another toothy pic from tonight- great way to cool down after a hot walk.








And I thought this picture was funny only because I think I make this face:



Notice our cover... I'm smiling, guess it was too early and Rowan didn't really care. (chick fil-a after labs this morning)

Pulling out my crystal ball again, I suspect Rowan is going to be just about walking when her birthday comes in a few weeks. She is pulling up on everything!
There isn't a time of day (or night) when we go into her room and she's not standing up waiting for us!

She has been a great tag along on all of our adventures lately- good shopping buddy, and she even had a good time at the parade of homes.

She can make a cat sound when you ask (even though it doesn't sound like a meow), stick out her tongue, give high fives, wave, dance, shake her head no, and just continue to amaze us every day.

It's still unbelievable how blessed we are with such a spirited baby girl. Today I thought and prayed a lot about our angel donor- love you!
