Things are improving. I didn't know how hard this was going to be, nor did I know that it wouldn't be the same (or even close) for Matt... We learned, through all of this, that we have different views about when a baby is considered to be alive. I feel that it is immediate, whereas he doesn't think it's considered to be "alive" until it's sustainable outside of the womb. We had a really tough week while I tried to get him to understand my viewpoint as the mother, the one who physically felt the loss of a baby. I think he does, now, although I'm not sure his personal beliefs will change, at least he understands and respects mine. :)
On other notes, Sariah is growing like crazy!!! We had her nine month checkup last week.
Weight: 18 lbs 8 oz
Length: 27 1/4 inches (SHE'S GONNA BE TALL LIKE MOM AND DAD!)
Doctor says she's healthy, and is meeting her
milestones just great.
She can almost crawl. She pulls herself to objects with this weird bendy-leg butt slider thing that I've yet to catch on camera. (Will post a video if I ever catch her)
Although, this week, she started taking steps while holding onto fingers. She can stand up against a toy or the couch on her own, although we can't leave her yet... her legs are too wobbly still. I really wonder if she's going to crawl or just go straight to cruising everything in sight. Either way, crawling or cruising, it won't be much longer and I'll have a truly mobile child on my hands. (And here I was thinking I'm tired now. Hah!)
Anywho. I've probably got lots left in this brain of mine that really needs to be let out, but Ms. booger-oogers is getting sleeping.
