Heart Health

Hanging out with dad in the doctor's office

Yesterday I took a trip down to Children’s Hospital to get my little heart murmur checked out. I got an ultrasound of my heart, and an echocardiogram. Nothing to worry about here! I have a benign heart murmur, as many infants do. About fifty percent of all children get diagnosed with one at some point. So, I will probably grow out of it, and leave the murmuring for poets and crowds.

Children’s Hospital is an incredible and overwhelming place. Mom said we should remember how blessed we are, and say little prayers for all the other children there who don’t feel very good.

We topped off the day with a lunch at one of mom and dad’s favorite places… IKEA! I didn’t see much more than the back of my eyelids while we were there, but I hear they got a steal of a deal in the “as is” department.

Check out my “crib”.

What is a baby blog without a “nursery reveal” post? My mom and dad had a great time planning this room for me. Everything is either from IKEA or homemade. There are elephants everywhere, including the decals on the purple walls, the wooden elephants on the mobile, the cloth elephants on the pillow cases, and the giant stuffed IKEA elephant on the floor.

Considering all the time we have spent in this room over  the last three weeks, it has turned out to be a very charming and comforting space!

I’ve got my Sunday hat on.

I went to church this morning! I enjoy being fawned over by all the loving people in our caring church. Although some people might think church is a great place to catch a nap, I prefer to stay oddly alert and awake through the whole service. I apparently enjoy a good sermon and a jolly round of Christmas carols.

My first official blog post.

Now that I am two weeks old, it is time for me to claim my place in the blogoshpere. Before I was even one day old, my Uncle Anders had carved me a space on the World Wide Web. My mom says that it will be nice for me to have a place to record my progress through life, especially as I learn to do more than eat sleep poop. Too many babies take over their parents’ Facebook pages, foisting their pictures onto countless feeds. I deserve my own place, a place which my admirers can choose to visit. So, welcome to RowanGrace.us!
