So according to Dr. Lomabrd, Mark's doctor, Lilly is in her potted plant phase. You place her down and she just sits there, doesn't move, similar to a potted plant. Mark has a case of baby tendinitis, or in actuality, it's either a pinched nerve or more likely muscle spasms. He's been having sharp, sore pain in his left arm muscle for a bit longer than a week, and went in and met with the doctor today. He basically said Mark would need an MRI for the most accurate diagnosis, but sounds like pinched nerve or muscle spasm, probably brought on by Lilly and Mark's new purchase, the iPad. Dr. Lombard, Mark's physician, basically said lifting the baby is like lifting a 12 pound weight and overuse of the weight, like picking her up and lifting her up and down, can overextend the muscle. So no more Advil, it's hot compresses, Aleve, and Icy/Hot for Mark. And unfortunately for Mark, it doesn't look like Lilly's losing any weight, so she will only get bigger.
She's gotten into blowing bubbles with her drool. It's pretty cute. She'll have some bubbles between her lips, and then let out a long line of spit. Not bad. And I'm not sure she's the biggest fan on post-natal yoga. Of course, it cuts into her napping time, so when she should be asleep, her JJ and I dragged her to the class. Crying babies are the norm, according to the instructor, and she was the first one to let out a wail, and get the crying started! Luckily she took to her peace pipe and my mom was there. Lilly wanted no part of laying on the blankets. She wanted to sleep and be held. So JJ held her, and she promptly went to sleep and slept throughout the entire hour class.
