Hiking Table Rock and Tailgating with The Richardson's

My parents came up a few weekends ago, and we decided to pack a picnic lunch and go to Table Rock since it was so close, yet we had never been.  Alli loves picnics, and always has energy to spend!  Lauren pretty much slept the entire time except when it was time to eat.

We tailgated with the Richardson's for the Georgia Tech game.  All had a great time.  Alli was happy to have Kenlee there to play with.  And~Clemson won!  Lauren stayed home with my parents.

Just an update

Lauren had good check-ups at both the pulmonologist and pediatrician.  The pulmonologist was happy with her weight gain, and said she looked good.  We did the paperwork for the nebulizer and they sent us home with one as a just in case.  We also got the ball rolling on insurance approval for the Synagis Vaccine.  The Synagis Vaccine is a monthly RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) vaccine that is given to "high risk" kids.  RSV causes only a cold in adults, but in preemies, babies younger than 3 mos., and babies with chronic problems, like Lauren, it can cause serious upper respiratory problems that can lead to long hospitalizations.  The vaccine is given monthly during RSV season (which in SC it runs from Nov-March).  Pending insurance approval, Lauren will get her first dose in early Nov. in conjunction with her next  pulmonologist visit.  The reason insurance approval is such an issue is because it costs $2000/dose, so over the season is $10,000!! We did not have blood drawn this time for the genetic mapping.  The lab was working on the logistics of getting her blood sample to Johns Hopkins to do the mapping, so will have that done in Nov.  The pediatrican was also happy with Lauren's progress.  She had to get 3 shots, and 1 oral vaccine.  She did much better than I did.  She only cried for a second.  Here are her stats:
Height: 21.85 in (10th-25th percentile)
Weight: 9lbs 10oz (10th-25th percentile)

Lauren was baptized on Sunday, Sept. 30th.  We were blessed with our family and friends there.  Lauren and Alli both did great.  Lauren only fussed when the first splash of water touched her head.  She's not a fan of getting wet.  I on the other hand, was a bad momma.  I forgot to put diapers in the diaper bag, so we had none, and of course Lauren pooped.  I went to the church nursery and asked to use a diaper... they handed me whatever they could find, which happened to be size 3 diapers...Lauren's just now out of the newborn size, so the diaper came up under her arms, but it worked!
