Maura finally got her ortho referral straightened out and has an appointment at Childrens Hospital in Peabody on May 28. It seems so far away. The process of getting an appointment in nuts, the doctor won't make the referral without you having an appointment and the hospital doesn't make appointments without the referral. Talk about going in circles.
I've been trying to do her exercises with her daily, baby leg presses against my chest and squats as well as achillies stretches. She just laughs at me, flips over and crawls away. I got a little sad earlier looking through pictures of Nathan around his first birthday. She is nowhere near walking. She limps and drags her right foot when she pushes the walking toys. I know she doesn't know that she is moving awkwardly, but I feel sad that she is. She gets stuck on her left leg when sitting sometimes, it must not be very strong. I guess it is something to work on.
We went to an egg hunt this weekend at a high school football field. Nathan had a lot of fun running around and watching the other kids. He didn't want anything to do with sitting on the bunny's lap or next to him. But from a distance he loved the "bunn" and I saw that look of wonderment when he first saw him/her. It was priceless.
Last Friday Jackie came with us on a trip to one of my favorite stores, Ikea. I timed it nearly perfectly for am nap during the drive there, shopping, break for lunch, more shopping and then napping on the way home.
My main purpose was to get a new tv stand to replace the old one I had with glass shelves that made me nervous. I scored an amazing deal, getting instead of a stand an entire entertainment center that looks like it was designed for my tv. And it is gorgeous. And on clearance. For $49.00. I felt like I was stealing from IKEA. 
I will write more next time and share some pictures from our Egg hunt.
