We've also had to have several appointments with the endocrinologist concerning Greenlee's thyroid condition. The last time they had to do an xray on her hand to check her bone age and make sure her growth wasn't behind. Everytime we go to the specialist we always have to get her blood drawn beforehand...which is an absolutely terrible experience. The last time we went they stuck her 3 times in 3 different veins, blew out one of her veins, and were still unable to get her blood drawn so we had to go back. I have never seen Greenlee cry that much. It was absolutely awful. The very next day I accidentally cut Greenlee's finger open while trying to clip her nails. It looked deep but didn't bleed very much so we didn't take her to the doctor. It was still traumatic for both of us, though!

It's also been a challenge trying to go back to work while still caring for Greenlee. The hardest part so far has been trying to get her into a routine. Once she started sleeping longer at night she was not wanting to nap very much during the day, which makes things difficult. Also, the doctor wanted us to move her from a 3 hour schedule to a 4 hour schedule once she went on formula. That has been an extreme challenge because she still seems hungry after 3 hours even though the formula is supposed to keep her full for longer. So, we still have not made the transition yet to a 4hr schedule.

On the bright side, we are just so happy Greenlee is sleeping through the night...that's probably the best thing that has happened in the past 10 weeks. Also, Josiah is finally done with his school semester so we can all breathe a big sigh of relief and enjoy the holidays together in Florida. Here are some pictures of Greenlee at 10 weeks. Sorry they are so small-- they are from my cell phone :) She is now 11 pounds, 11 ounces and 22.5 inches long.
