I normally ignore pointless holidays like this one, but St. Patrick's Day is somewhat significant for our family. You see, Patrick isn't named that merely because we like the name; he first became a part of our lives a year ago today. TMI? I'm sorry. It's just a funny story. But that's all the details I'm giving.
We did go to his doctor today for his last Synagis shot. He got weighed and measured again, and the numbers were significantly more comforting: 11 lbs, 9.6 oz, and 23 1/4 inches. (Actually, he was 11 lbs, 8.6 oz after he peed on the nurse.) That means he gained an ounce short of a pound and half an inch from last month. It may not be as significant a growth as previous months, but it's certainly nothing to worry about.
My breast infection is completely gone already. Thanks for the prayers. I never did get a fever or the usual aches and didn't have to call the doctor for antibiotics. That's a great change from normal. I usually groan the first time I feel that painful lump, knowing the ordeal that will follow. That's one change I definitely appreciate.
I'll leave the random tidbits today with one sweet story from last night. Patrick was apparently in a really cuddly mood yesterday (I loved it of course). After his last feeding for the day, he was completely zoning, so we started to get him ready for bed. His daddy wanted to be the one to take him into his room and put him to bed. As soon as he reached for Patrick, Patrick got much more alert and grinned at Matt. Then he spread his arms around Matt's chest as far as they would go, like a big bear hug, and nuzzled his head under Matt's chin. It was clear that was exactly where he wanted to be. I regret that I didn't get a picture of it; it has to be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen.

Kathy, You mentioned foods on an earlier blog and this is the first time I have had a chance to sit down and give you the advice we give our pts. in our office. Cereals first of course rice then oatmeal never wheat, seems to give them a rash. We then start with fruit, applesauce, pears. (peaches seem to give the diarrhea). We then start with yellow vegetables and the green, a new food every four days. NO MEAT FOR ONE YEAR. They don't have the enzymes to digest meat until then. Hope this helps. LOVE YOU ALL TRICIA
kathy i am with tricia on the foods
do all the cereals first then
fruit and save the peaches for when
needs help with bathroom then
vegetables. try each one several
days before you start a new one
that way if any problems you know
what caused it. he is precious
and can't wait to see him.
