So Sweet

It's been 3 weeks 4 days since BrynLee's last urinary tract infection! Thankfully it wasn't too bad of an infection and like I said in the last post, my husband and I are really getting better at seeing the signs of an infection coming on! Last week BrynLee's urine output had decreased significantly and her urine smelled aweful! Those are the first signs, and at that stage, it's still reversable! I made her formula less concentrated so she was getting more water, took her off her rice cereal (we were using that to thicken because she was spitting up so much) and within 2 days she was back to normal wet diapers and the smell had disappeared! We're making progress! :)
The longest she's ever gone without an infection without antibiotics is 3 weeks! This stretch without antibiotics (just her prophylaxis) is only 1 week 4 days, but we're going to make it passed that 3 week mark! The countdown is on!
I can't believe how much BrynLee has grown! She's a little chunk monkey! Well ok, she's far from chunky, but she's HEALTHY! She's talking constantly, she's started giggling and she likes to be held, but she's also content just laying on the couch or playing in her bouncer! Last week I shaved all the long stringy hairs off to match the length of her hair coming in underneath and it's all even and growing nicely now! She's so pretty and looks exactly like her big sister! The only difference between the two is Aybri's dimple is on the right cheek and BrynLee's dimple is on the left! I can't wait until they are running around together and playing! It's going to be so much fun! BrynLee doesn't care too much for tummy time, but  she does love her jumper we have up! She'll just lean back and kick her feet off the floor which makes her swing around! She is content in the jumper for hours! She just hangs out, literally! :)
BrynLee has an appointment with her local pediatrician next week and I'm so excited to see how much she's grown! Every single morning when I look at her I swear she's changed a litte more just overnight! She has the sweetest little spirit and really is such a blessing to our family!
