Finally- an update!

I know it has been a while since I have written, but a newborn will keep you busy! Since I last wrote, Roselyn continues to grow and become more and more CUTE! We keep her on the move with taking her to trivia, Bible study, and the gym. We have been told by the child care at the gym that she is a complete "cuttle bug". She recently started taking a bottle and a pacifier. Rob is giving her the bottle which is a big help to me. The pacifier is also a big help at times (it can keep me sane!:)
At her one month doctor's appointment Roselyn weighed 9lb 9oz. All else looked good. The appointment we were the most concerned about was her first appointment with the endocrinologist. Dr. Van Meter was a nice man and helped explain her hypothyroidism in more depth to us. She was weighed again and was 10lb 3oz! He confirmed that mental retardation is not an issue and that these babies his practice loves because they come in every few months and they get to play with them:) He did mention that looking at her complexion she might be subseptable to allergies. I know she has some dry skin and baby acne, but there are no allergies on either side of our family so we hope he was being overly concerned. Also, even though mental retardation is not an issue, learning disabilites was not ruled out. Of course, this could happen to any child so we are not worrying about it yet. Some awesome news??? When her test results came back for her tyroid it was down to 10!!! Dr. Van Meter said that was remarkable considering the length of time she was on the medicine- and doctors don't say "remarkable" a lot.
Included in this page is a couple of pictures from Uncle Bob's pumpkin patch. We took Roselyn Saturday the 18th. It was fun for us, but Roselyn slept the entire time. I guess that is expected with newborns:)
