Aubrey did a lot better at her appointment this time around. Cameron was able to meet us at the doctors office for her big 6 month appointment. Everything went well and other than a short lived fever 6 hours post shots Aubrey bounced back quickly. We were able to re-confirm that she has a benign condition known as physiological anisocoria. Basically this means that she has unequal pupils (her left is bigger than the right) without a known cause or reason. I noticed this difference when she was about 2 months old. Since the phrase "pupils equal and reactive to light" (PEARL) is the basis of a healthy neurological assessment my nursing brain went into overdrive. In May Aubrey was seen by a specialist and all possible causes were ruled out. She did great during all the tests. She even had those eye drops put in to dialate her pupils for part of the exam. Ends up my little girl has character and will always have a difference in pupil size. Which is just another reason to fall in love with her "baby blues."

Daycare Visits
July 6th is the big day! I start back at work and more importantly Aubrey starts daycare. She will be 3 days shy of her 6 month birthday. Recently we have started visiting her daycare for a few hours at a time. July 1st and 2nd will be our "practice run" days. Although my feelings are mixed I know in the end 3 days a week will be good for the both of us. I also know that I have to remain strong for her. Last week she got very excited when interacting with the other babies and seemed to enjoy this. At the moment she is the youngest and the least mobile. This is a little scary sometimes because they are very interested in her and I seem to be constantly blocking them from crawling on top of her. On the plus side all the babies seemed very happy and the attendants are very experienced. Aubrey was EXHAUSTED when we got home I just had to take some pictures. Here she is passed out after our daycare outing. Also, notice how she is holding on to her favorite toy... I had to retrieve it from the other babies a couple of times during the visit. When I gave back to her she would not let go of it! : )
