1 year old birthday and two doctor visits!!!

My darling little girl turned one year old yesterday. I just can't believe it. I am sad that she is growing up so fast, but I am so happy to have her with us. Yesterday we sent her to the torture chamber aka the doctor's office. She is now 28 1/2" long and 18 lbs 5 oz light. I can't believe how petite she is. The doctor also said she had an ear infection. Boo! It is her first one. So now that she is one she can have cow's milk, citrus fruit, etc. How fun is that! She is cruising/crawling all over the place. Once she got to standing position on the couch or whatever, she would cry because she would want someone to help her sit down. Finally this past week she learned to sit down on her own which is so nice for her and us. :) I will write more this weekend on the beauty of Jasmine. She has definitely lighted our lives.

Last night we had an unexpected visit to the doctor for me. I have been sick with a bad cold for several days. It had been keeping me up at night. Well yesterday my ear starting aching and so I thought I would put a drop of alcohol in it . . . . BAD MOVE!! There was much pain and anguish, so I had to go to the Doctor pronto. I had no desire to sit and wait at the Methodist Willowbook ER for hours on end, so we decided to try the Emergency Health Centre. It was awesome! We were in and out in about 45 minutes and paid an urgent care co-pay (I will let you know if I get other bills later, but I don't think I will). I was prescribed hydrocodone and azithromycin, so I guess I am done breastfeeding. I am sad, but I was starting the weaning process anyway. Jeremy thinks it was poetic how I first started breasting feeding her a year ago in the hospital and that I was in this place when I breastfed her for the last time.

I don't have a new picture of little missy to post right now, but I am sure I will have some this weekend. :)
