Summer!

Since we have been home, having a routine is wonderful for this loco mama.

Rowan had no problems returning to her own bed and room after practically being attached at my hip for 5weeks.

She usually heads to bed around 9ish (after meds) and wakes up with the roosters at 6AM. (waking up once in between for a snack of course--- thankfully, she's not as ravenous since the decrease in steroids, so her newborn eating patterns have again disappeared)

A car was purchased since we spent so much time in it at the hospital....
And now we virtually re-live the hallways there in our own house!






We've been taking it easy staying inside where it's cool, staying away from people, but we couldn't take it anymore. We decided to take Ro on a trail near our house. Check out our super neat fan to keep baby cool.





We had a great time. Ro thought the trip was just ok.

You can't have summer without a pool!








Rowan loves her new blow up pool complete with palm tree, side flowers, and inflatable slide Ro appropriately uses as a lounger:)
The only complaint, is Ro can't get too wet. Her PICC line must stay dry and intact so germs don't get to her and cause an infection. After many past attempts with plastic wrap, press n seal, tapes, etc- I've found the good ol' diaper is the winner!




Remember just last month:



Beautiful angel baby with her sweet neck.


We were able to tie on this hat.

Now:


I don't think straps are fitting underneath there right now:/
Poor baby.
But she's still just as cute as a button.

Tomorrow we head to Houston for hopefully Ro's final rituximab treatment. She'll be admitted on Wednesday and if all goes well, discharged on Thursday or Friday.

God is Good- All the time.
