two months.


clementine is two months already {what!?}. however, turner syndrome is proving to be a bit of a bonus because she's kind of like a newborn for a little longer.  she weighs nine pounds six ounces (seventh percentile for ts) and is 20.5 inches (one percentile for ts).  she's my little bit, but she's chunking out...cause that's how we barton's grow our babies. 

there have been several doctors appointments since her birth- most of which included a blood draw. they probably average one a week. i'm bored with it already. i think we've had to go to the doctor with her more in her two short months of life than we've ever been with the boys.  i get that it's necessary, but going to the doctor and going through the undressing and weighing and blood draws and examining and tests....well, it just get's old. for me and for her.  she continues to defy the odds. her body is amazing and even though we have some issues, it really isn't as bad as it could be. and for that i thank god. he knows i wouldn't be able to deal with more than what he's given us so far. 

she still has a really great disposition. i haven't really paid much attention to any kind of schedule she may be getting herself into other than starting at about five in the evenings she is constantly nursing, fussing, or taking a cat nap. and for heaven's sake do not put her down. and then, around nine o'clock, it's bedtime. she just passes out cold. 

below are a couple 'outtakes' from her little photoshoot.

and here's a side by side comparison

that's all for tonight.  sorry for the trainwreck of forming an easy to read post. gah. even that didn't make sense.  my brain is all over the place these days. :)

a whole lotta love over here


 ^^she was annoyed with me for wanting a photo with her...i'm not sorry^^
^^this boy is ridiculously in love with this girl.^^
we said 'good-bye' to our obnoxious and annoying pet rabbit last week. being that i was the only one who took care of him and clementine has priority, we decided to take it back to the pet store. roman was only a little broken up over it. not near as bad as i thought he'd be. i think suggesting a photo to preserve the memory softened the heartache a bit.  plus i hear scooter already has a wife with gorgeous beady red eyes. lucky rabbit. 

happy thursday!
