doctors' appointments (for karys and mom)
yesterday karys and i both had doctor's appointments. mine was scheduled. it was supposed to be a "routine" 6 week postpartum visit. but it wasn't so routine. i found out i probably have (not one but) two hernias. one (an umbilical) hernia is probably the result of carrying such a big baby and the other (an incision) hernia is from the c-section. sadly, they may require surgery. that little (or not so little) baby did a number on my body. well the pregnancy went well it was just she was a big girl and i stomach got very big. it looked crazy. here's a photo in case you didn't see the original post...k's appointment wasn't scheduled. i took her in because what i thought was a heat rash was getting worse. come to find out it wasn't heat rash but probably infant seborrhoeic dermatitus (more commonly known as cradle cap) on her forehead, eyelids, ears, and neck. it doesn't see to bother her and the pediatrician said it was temporary and fairly common. he told us to use cetaphil body wash and cream. hopefully the cetaphil will help...

ava had (and still has) wicked cradle cap. i definitely recommend workin' on it before her hair grows even more. i think we have to cut all of ava's hair off at this point so we can get back to the scalp and deal with the cradle cap. we waited juuuuust a bit too long. LOL!
i love the new pics!!! she looks like she's doing great with tummy time!
