Post-Surgery :)

Well, tomorrow will be 4 weeks post-surgery. Caelyn is doing great! We are back in our old routine, and she is slowly becoming herself again. Since surgery, she is more whiny/cries more, but her doctor said it's probably because the surgery/recovery was traumatizing, and that she will be back to normal again soon.

This past Tuesday, we went to Dallas for her two week post-op check up at the cardiologist. Dr. Kao said everything looked good, except that her pulmonary valve leaks and she may or may not need a valve replacement in the future (like, when she's a teenager). And they are starting to do that through a catheter, so hopefully no more open heart surgeries!!

Caelyn has finally started to eat solid foods. She has tried sweet potatoes, applesauce, and green beans. She is slowly starting to learn how to swallow her food. I love feeding her! I have been making her food, and it's so fun! I love knowing her food is healthy and organic! And it's so much cheaper! I'm estimating I have saved around $40 so far. I think everyone should try this!

We are going to attempt cloth diapering! I'm actually pretty excited about it, because they are SOO cute!! Haha! We have realized that disposable diapers are so very expensive, and are trying to cut back on costs. So hopefully by making her baby food and cloth diapering, we can cut back some.
