Zoie is doing great! The first few weeks were a little rough on me, but seven weeks in I still can't believe she is here! Zoie has rolled from her back to her tummy three times and can hold her neck up without support, yay for her! She unfortunately has many doctor appointments because of her little tummy problem. For those who don't know Zoie has a hemange-something or another, I.E. a tumor, on her liver. When she was a day old she was transferred to UMC NICU where she had a CT and blood work done. Her specialist ruled that it was a tumor that developed while she was in my belly and it shouldn't turn into anything harmful and might just go away as she grows. However to be on the safe side she will have monthly ultrasounds and blood work, and weekly tummy checks, along with seeing her specialist once a month and her pediatrician weekly, poor baby. This is all to monitor the growth and make sure everything is A-okay. All these appointments along with the pediatrician appointments that every baby has to have is making mommy a little frazzled at keeping everything straight. She is a GREAT baby, hardly fussy, and a joy to be around. She has so many facial expressions that I can just watch her for hours! We went to San Diego to visit Grandad Steve and her Aunt Laura and we had a blast! The weather was great and although we didn't get to visit the ocean, for one reason or another, we had a great time. Zoie did really well in the car with hardly any fussing. Also her Great Aunt and Great Grandma from Kansas visited us and it was great to see the four generations of Harsh women. Now that Daddy is back to work Zoie and I have come up with a little routine and things couldn't be better. I still can't believe my little baby is almost two months it still blows my mind every time I see her to know she was inside my belly two months ago! Kris is an amazing dad and I think we make a really great team and that could be the reason why I think it's been easier than anticipated. School starts in a few weeks for me so that should be interesting to see how our little routine goes once mommy has a bunch of school work and can't play peek-a-boo all day! Our little one is measuring at 23 in long and 9 lbs 6 ounces as of last week. Our next dr appointment is Thursday so we'll see our little piggly wiggly is growing. I'll post some more pictures and let everyone know how big she is getting!
