Baby Heart Murmer. Cardiologist or no Cardiologist?

Yesterday was Ella and Madeline's well baby check up. They're now almost double their birth weight! Ella was 11lbs14oz & 24in long. Madeline was 11lbs7oz and 23.5in. Poor Ella is a mess. Her tear duct is still clogged and her toe has an ingrown nail that is infected, so she has her first antibiotic. They also said that if her eye doesn't clear up soon they will recommend corrective surgery between 6 and 9 months.

Then was Madeline's turn. They discovered a heart murmer. Her doctor called for a second opinion and she heard it too. Both said it sounds benign and they wouldn't stress over it. We'll just monitor her more closely at her well baby visits and if anything seems to change they'll recommend a Cardiologist. They did say that if wanted they would recommend one now but I really trust their opinion on it. This is the same peditricians office I went to from birth.

Of course when I told their daddy he freaked out and wants me to call for a recommendation now. Does anyone have any experience with heart murmers? Am I being too relaxed about this?

Fall is on it's way! Reviews and Giveaways!

Fall is absolutely without a doubt my favorite time of year. Pumpkins, apples, Halloween decorations, hay rides, festivals, and in Florida the heat index drops from 110 to 95, but at night it's nice and breezy. What is there not to love?! That isn't enough for you?

To celebrate my favorite season, I'm teaming up with some wonderful ladies and companies to bring you lots of great reviews and giveaways including Baby Bond nursing covers, Scentsy, 31 gifts, handmade Halloween decorations and more! Want to get in on the fun? Make sure you're following with Google Friends Connect and Twitter. (You can connect to both in the toolbar on the left) Want your shop to help sponsor The Great Fall Kickoff? Send me an email to willowsmommy21@gmail.com and we'll make it happen!

Oh to be two again

With every grey hair I find it's getting harder and harder to convince myself that I'm still young. I know,I know 25 is still young but it seems like the twins have aged me 5 years in the last 2 months.The years are starting to fly by and there's no way to make them stop.Today my nephew Keaton turned 2. Willow helped to make him star cupcakes and we spent the morning playing together with his new ballpit. It's funny how the older they get the harder it is to make them happy. Soon there will be requests for ipads and cars for presents but for now it just takes plastic, a whole bunch of air and 100 little balls.
