Roller Skating and New Glasses

Here is my flower child!

She was very crafty with some string and a flower from the backyard.

We picked up Riley's new glasses on Wednesday. Her old ones got lost on the 4th of July. She took them off to bounce on the trampoline and we have never been able to find them. Luckily I was able to get her into the eye doctor (usually they are booked solid the weeks before school starts) and she got to pick out her new pair. They look cute on her and she really likes them. Plus they are "Rock Star Red!" Which is more of a pinky color to me...but it sounds cooler to say "Rock Star Red!"







Wednesday we also went roller skating. Thanks again free library coupons!! Riley has been a couple times for birthday parties but this was Alexandra's first time skating. The first time around the rink (holding my hand) she told me "I am not having a fun time." So we went around to the exit and she went out for a bit on the carpet, then we went back in and she proceeded to have a great time! About halfway though our session she decided she didn't need my help and was skating all by herself! Riley still isn't too sure of skating. She's just scared to fall and so that is holding her back. But eventually I think she'll really like it, it's too bad we don't get more free coupons more often.
And here are some videos of them skating. Riley only wanted to do it on the carpet. (I also figured out what was wrong with why I couldn't download videos. My camera got reset to a higher video quality and so the files were too big.)

Our Newest Addition!

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...

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...

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...
