Daddy Daughter Dance

Rose is so lucky to have Kevin as her daddy. He is so sweet with her, patient, kind, giving, and loves playing with her. She was so excited to go to her first little dance with her daddy. I had so much fun picking out her dress with her and getting her ready. It was fun, but also just so scary how fast time goes by, I can't believe how old she is getting. Kevin, on his own, called Martins and ordered her a wrist corsage and a flower for him. Rose absolutely loved it and kept starring at it. She had so much fun at the dance. Kevin said she was singing and dancing like crazy, although she ditched him for other little girls to dance with. I'm hoping this will be a tradition of theirs and that Miss Lucy will join them in a couple of years.

This smile, oh my word...

4 Months

Best Hair EVER

Miss Lucy has the BEST HAIR!! I love her little curls and cannot wait to see it as it grows. 

So Pretty

Saucer

I can't believe Lucy is big enough for the saucer. She loves standing up, grabbing at her toys, and of course chewing on them. She really seems to love this new toy :)

Hospital

This was the scariest moment and night of my life. I ran an errand at 7:00pm one Wednesday night and got a phone call from Kevin to hurry home because something wasn't right with Lucy and that he was calling 911. That was all I got, as I ran out the store and rushed home I just kept praying and praying that my sweet baby was okay. Thankfully when I got home she was in Kevin's arms. She had glassy eyes and a temperature at this point, but seemed to be doing okay. Kevin explained that she let out a scream and then had her eyes closed and wouldn't/couldn't open them for about 3 minutes. She was breathing the whole time but he said she had a difficult time keeping her head up. When the paramedics got there she was running a little temperature and they thought it was possibly a fever induced seizure. We took her to the ER and waited and waited. We got there at 8:30pm and walked out at 6am the next morning. After 3 hours we were finally called back to a room. They did every possible thing to our little Lucy. It was AWFUL seeing her poked and poked. They took blood work, had to get a urine sample by catheterizing her- this was terrible, did a chest x-ray, CT scan, swabbed for the flu, and spinal tap. All she wanted to do was sleep and they kept coming in and doing more and more awful things to her :( Thankfully the only thing that came back was pneumonia from her chest x-ray. We left with no answers, but felt better by ruling out about everything possible. I haven't been able to really leave her since other then to work and at home she goes where ever I go. I love this little girl so much. I still can't help but think about the phone call I received and  the panic and worry that immediately set in and then watching her go through a night of hell. As I often run through this night I am just so thankful for this beautiful baby and of course Miss Rose too and am trying my hardest to not take these precious gifts for granted. Living in the present each day with them.
