Ruby Hope McKee Starling

That's what I get for posting at 9pm on a Sunday after a long weekend.  I forgot about our Sushi outing.  We met some friends for Sushi yesterday for lunch.  I figured Sunday at 11:30 at a Sushi restaurant wouldn't be crowded.  It was fun and we were the only customers, so we didn't have to worry to much about her getting sick.  We didn't offer her any, but I was happy to have some.  I couldn't eat it while I was pregnant.  I have now had all of the forbidden pregnancy foods!  I feel like CDH mom's don't ever really get to celebrate not being pregnant anymore.  We know that as long as our babies are inside us we are breathing for them.  The real fight begins once they are born.  I had such a hard time with nausea during the pregnancy, on some levels I was really looking forward to not being pregnant anymore.

Ruby looks like she having trouble helping Dad what to order.

I do have a funny story about Ruby.  At 4:30 this morning, she set off the baby monitor by grunting.  As all CDH parents know grunting is a sign of respiratory distress.  I jumped out of bed and ran into her room.  She was far from respiratory distress. She was grunting, her face was red, and her legs were straight up in the air.  She had the biggest poopy diaper EVER.  It rivaled some of the morphine withdrawal poops.  The funny thing was she didn't even wake up until I had the diaper off of her.  All she did was open her eyes look and me and grin.  She promptly went back to sleep.  I was laughing so hard, I almost woke up Chris.
