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. 

Miss Ballet

After months of asking we finally signed Rose up for ballet and she LOVES it! She was so excited when all of her gear showed up. 

Bumbo Seat

Someone is getting SO big and can now fit in her bumbo seat. She loves sitting up and always tries to do so when she is in her rock'n sleep so we thought she would like this. She was very excited :)

Silly Rose

Rose thought she was so funny putting on mommy's pjs. I love her posing and how silly this little girl is. 

Maternity Leave

My maternity leave quite possibly could have been the best 14 weeks of my life. I am so thankful I took Rose out of daycare and got to spend each day with my girls. I loved the daily snuggles with them both especially nap time-having my whole world snuggled in close as I sat there and took in the moment each day and each nap. As I am so sad to return to work  I will forever be grateful for the time I spent with just Rose and Lucy each day. These two girls are the sweetest things and the greatest gifts I have been given.
