We took our first big trip this past weekend! We packed up Steve and Connie's Torrent and headed East for a weekend in Becker. Abby got to meet a lot of people... Emery and Sherry, Russel, Vicki, and Jena, Leah and Garret, Cheryl and Lynn, Ann and Jay, and Amy and Gary all stopped by. Her Aunt and Uncle and a couple of her cousins came to see her as well. She handled it all very well, but as you can see in the picture below it was a very tiring weekend! Look at her little folded hands!
On Sunday, Chad and I went to the Gopher vs Michigan State game. We left Abby with my Mom and Dad... it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I knew I was only going to be gone a few hours, and I was leaving her with Grandma and Grandpa (not a stranger), but going somewhere without her was tougher than I ever thought it would be. I cried when I left, but the time away was good and I really needed the time with my husband.
All in all, the weekend went well and it was great to see everyone. Still, it's good to be home!
Chapter 2: Bath Time!
I love giving Abby a bath! I get to see her beautiful little body and she's just so stinkin' cute. Abby isn't too crazy about baths yet, but does a lot better now that we can give her a bath in the tub and not just a sponge bath (so cold!). I think she'll come to like them... for now it seems like she just isn't quite sure where she is. Some pictures from her latest bath...
Abby is not happy with her bath!
Finally done and drying off!
My little cutie pie, clean and dry!
Chapter 3: What did Mommy do?!
Turns out Abby and I have Thrush. I called my Midwife this morning, and she recommended two treatments... One, a prescription, needs to be administered 4 times a day for two weeks. The other, an over the counter called Gentian Violet, is a once a day for 3-4 days.. but stains everything purple. Since this is interfering with breastfeeding, I opted for the quick treatment. Paige told me it was messy, and she wasn't lying!
I was able to get the Gentian Violet into Abby's mouth without a problem... until she decided to suck her fist and wipe it all over her cheeks!
We were able to get most of it off of her face, but she will definitely have purple lips the next few days!

She looks so cute with that perfectly round little purple mouth, yes, I think she's trying to whistle!
I would like to thank Ultimate Life Clinic for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support.
