Happy Belated Birthday to me!

I apologize for the delay in these postings. I've been busy, tired, and eagerly counting down the days 'til Christmas break! Over the week I celebrated my 26th birthday! We didn't do much because it was on a Tuesday but my mom cooked dinner, Ray cooked a meal, and we all went to our school's Holiday program where Mackenzy was passed around again!

I've also developed deQuervain's Tenosynovitis (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/de-quervains-tenosynovitis/DS00692) which is a form of tendonitis in my wrist which hasn't been fun. It's very painful and I believe it came from moving Mackenzy around. I went to the doctor to confirm my diagnosis and to get a good wrist brace with a thumb spica, but since my co-pay for a specialist is so high I decided to go to a primary care doctor which was a waste of my time. She did give me a prescription for high powered Advil which takes the pain away, but in the end I ended up ordering my own brace online! Next time I'm going to a specialist so I can avoid all of the trouble...

Mackenzy is doing wonderful! She's still sleeping for 5 hours at night even though it's from 10:00-3:00... I still have to get up in the middle of the night to feed her, but at least it's not every 2 hours like it was before! Below is a picture of her in her bouncy seat playing with her Winnie the Pooh rattle while my mom was babysitting. She's getting good at holding and pulling things so I have to be careful when I wear necklaces. She'll officially be 3 months old on Saturday! She's still wearing 0-3 month clothes, but I've started experimenting with some of her 3-6 month outfits. She's growing so fast but she's still a shorty like her mommy!
