More info... I guess

So just so you all know, there is nothing really the matter with Piper.  She is a very normal baby, otherwise.  A few things that might make her unique and that indicate she has a heart condition are things like:

- she sweats pretty fierce when crying and sometimes while feeding

- if you felt her heartbeat, it feels kinda frothy, or fuzzy. Not the same "lub-dub" as ours

- her breathing is somewhat shallow (not sure if that is just normal baby, or what)

The summer wasn't great for her sweating. It was kinda freaking us out a bit, but we just need to keep an eye on it.

Right now, some of Piper's favorite things to do are:

- stare at the pretty baby in the mirror (she always happens to be there!)

- wiggle on her "wiggle worm"

- growl and roll over

- stick both fists in her mouth

- laugh when you sing her a song

- kicking like a crazy baby in the bathtub (and crazy is nearly an understatement) 

- laughing at her bug toy that has flashing red cheek-lights, and it makes cutes sounds!

- staring at any kind of red lights (like the alarm clock etc)

All in all, a pretty happy baby. Though I think she might be starting to teethe right now... I am not ready for a teething baby.  Oh Lord. Spare me.

Ok, here is that heart picture that didn't really work in that last post.  This illustrates things fairly well (and I just like the colors!)

Anyways, do ask questions!  I don't know all the answers, but sometimes I can pretend I do.  Comments, comments!  I would love to know anything you know!

And here, I can plug in some cute videos of Piper as she is growing up.  Gotta love those, eh?

I'll download the other ones later... this kinda takes a while.

Should jet!  Piper will be up soon and we should get out and do something... Matt will be home early today, so we can maybe find some fun then.
