update...sorry for the delay!

*first i appoligize for not getting this up sooner! Keira's apt. went well - the mur-mur is there, but just as her ped. thought - totally insignificant... they did the ekg - no biggy, the chest x-ray she didn't like...the have them sit on this seat like thing, where their legs hang down, and then put their arms up over their head - by the ears - and basically lock them in with a curved plastic shield on either side.... yeah she cried a bit, but who can blame her??? all tests came back fine, the specialist did say he could hear it - but that she's perfectly healthy, needs no further testing or limitations - and as much as he found her delightful...;) - he doesn't need to see her again....he was very sweet. Now the 1hr. + wait to even be called back for the apt. is another story....those w/kids or kid experience....can you imagine trying to keep her entertained for an hour in a waiting room? i didn't really want her scooting all over the floor - brought toys/books/snacks...you name it - but an hour is an hour........a big pet-peve of mine....sorry but an hour is just excessive - especially for little ones...you'd think they could at least tell you they were running behind??? aagggghhhh - probably wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't heading right into her nap time!

found it interesting that he said that almost 50% of kids will have a mur-mur by the age of 5!

so that's behind us! i really do like the kids' new ped. she told me not to worry, it was just good to follow up - and that if there was or ever is a reason to worry, she'd let me know....i did just what she said - didn't really think much of the testing - only twing i got was as they were attaching the sticky sensors to her chest -

let's see what else....? thinking of getting quinn into a gymnastics class later this fall - have 2 places i'm gonna check into....and actually have to start looking for preschools for him....doesn't seem possible, but i guess you really need to look a year ahead of time!

photography news...dropped off 2 prints to the peditrician's office, and 5 to the maternity shop - really hoping they'll stem some buisness....no bookings at the moment :( also took a few pregnancy shots of my friend renee - she's due any day - and the maternity shop is going to hang 3 of those too! some of these are repeat pic's for those of you who look often - but i've included the ones going up below - baby grabbing toes is Keira - other newborn is Blake - Christina and Troy's son, and again my friend renee is the preg. lady!

ok - these take forever - if you want to see the baby's pic's - you'll have to pull the post about "baby blake" --- this just took 10 minutes!!!!!!!!! just look in the feb. archives - one of his face - her kissing him, his foot and this one... all in bw.
