Sharing



Yesterday at church, Alexandra got a bag of animal crackers to take home. When we got home Riley asked me if I liked her picture she had made at church and of course I told her yes. Alexandra not to be outdone asks me if I like her bag of animal crackers. I tell her yes and ask if she will share one with me. She looks at me and then says she will share a little tiny bit. After waiting a while as she is digging around in the bag looking, I ask her if she is going to give me one. She replies "I can't find any crummies." So she has learned to share, but only the parts she doesn't want. She did eventually give me a cookie, but told me I could only have a tiny bite then I had to give it back.

Aric and my mom came over to get the girls yesterday so they could have a sleep over since Riley didn't have school today. Now it has been quite a while since my brother has been over and Tiger wasn't sure what to make of him. For those of you who haven't seen my brother he's huge! and in like a big mean scary way! So every time Aric moved, Tiger would get ready to bolt from the room, and he just kept staring at Aric. At least until Aric stared at him, then he would look away and try to look back. So we tell Aric if he tried to scare the cat, he'd probably rid him of about 5 lives, and Riley thinks this is hilarious. Every time she thinks about it she starts giggling. So to placate his niece, Aric gets all prepared and waits for Tiger to relax. And needless to say I've never seen Tiger move so fast. He ran towards the desk like he was going to go through the window by the stairs (not a glass window, just a window in the wall), but he didn't jump in time because Mom and Riley were sitting at the desk and were in his way, so he just rammed head first into the wall. After realizing that he did not make it through the window, he made his way quickly around Riley and down the hall. It was hilarious!! And yes Tiger is ok, he's just a few lives short of the 9 he started with.


EDIT: I'm adding pics I took today so you can see the mean and scary Uncle Aric and the poor little kitty Tiger.

    Poor LITTLE Tiger, my foot. Alexandra has scars from Tiger - granted he did warn her first and she is mean. And you laughed just as hard as Riley when Tiger ran into the wall.

Scarlett has arrived!!!!! She was born on Monday, June 1st at 5:06pm. Making her exactly 6 weeks early. She was 6lbs 6oz and 19 inches long. She is doing SOOOOO good!!! She continues to surprise everyone in the NICU. We're not sure how long she's going to be in there, but they are not ready to release me yet either so, we're both making the hospital our new home for a bit. Everyone seems really impressed with all that she's able to do. She is not on any machines and is doing great with her breathing and keeping her own temperature. She is VERY red though.....so living up to her name! Her red blood cell count was in the 60's when she was born, so we've been anticipating her needing to go under the billirubin lights, which they just started. Her number was still low (7.2), but we found out she is A+, and since I'm O+ there is an incompatibility, so they started her on the lights before she started to get worse. And now for the story.... Wednesday my bleeding s...

A Year of Horrible

I have debated writing/telling people about this because it's not completely my story, but then again, it is, because I'm living through it as the mom.  So as a friend and/or family member reading this, please remember that I'm entrusting you with sensitive thoughts.  And yes I know this is also on the internet, so anyone could read it as well.  But I also know that I needed a place to write all of this down and get it recorded.  It will help me as I sort though all we are going through and it could possibly help others. This last year has been horrific.  Really and truly there isn't another word for it.  I didn't realize how much trauma I have truly been through until yesterday when I was on Facebook and I was looking at posts from other moms of their kiddos starting middle school.  Now I know middle school is bad.  I went through it already with Riley, but Alexandra was a whole new playing field.  Seeing those pictures I had a literal awf...

My Irrational Fears

Now maybe this is normal, but since I'm not really sure what a "normal" pregnancy should be I have no idea. But lately I have worries about everything. Mostly it has to do with the baby being born healthy. When I told Dean about them the other night, he was like "Wow, I had no idea you had that much that you were worried about". So here's my list. #1 - Driving in the car. It scares me to death now. I really have no reason for it to scare me since I have never had a car accident. But every time I'm behind the wheel all I can think about is what if someone hits me. I'm wearing a seat belt and that could hurt the baby. If the airbag goes off, that could hurt the baby. Let alone if it's a really bad accident.... #2 - I can't open any of the stuff we've bought for the baby. And this is so unlike me, I love to open stuff and put it together. But this time all I can think of is I can't open it, what if something happens to the baby. We can...
