Scarlett's Latest

So while I'm in the blogging mode, I figured I'd update on all that Scarlett's up to.

Her vocabulary continues to grow. She loves to chatter and it's fun figuring out what she means. She also understands A LOT more then she can say. I constantly find myself laughing at her.

The other day she was walking around holding the tip of her nose and then she would blow out through her nose and she would say "It's snot!!" Which it was. It was so gross, yet so funny at the same time.

She calls both of her sisters "Riley". It doesn't matter how much we try, we can't get her to say Alexandra. Some day she will....

She loves to stick her lower lip out and wiggle her jaw back and forth. It is hilarious, but she has yet to do it while I'm videotaping her.

She loves to "Go!Go!" but absolutely hates her stroller. So when she has to go on walks with me, it's horrible. But the more we do it the better she gets. Plus when we're done walking she gets to look at the puppies in the pet store window - which she loves.

She loves to dance. If there is music on - she's dancing!

Her fascination with shoes continues to grow. She will now spend literally hours sitting trying to put her shoes on her feet - or her sisters shoes....

If I'm not home, she wanders the house looking for "Mama?"

When we pick up her sisters or they come home, she runs up to them and gives them such big hugs. I love it!!

She loves pointing out body parts - especially if they are someone else's. At least she's getting better about poking my eyes out....

She loves to play with the cat. And he is getting better about letting her pet on him. But we bought him a stick with strings hanging from it for the girls to play with him. And she thinks it's great, but she uses it like a whip......poor cat!

She loves to push buttons of any kind. If it has a button she will push it. I can't tell you how many times I find that she's stopped the washing machine (front loader so the buttons are down where she can reach - and the control lock out does not lock the power button! And since she's figured out it's the only button that works - that's the one she pushes.)

That's all I can think of right now, plus the dryer is beeping at me and if I don't take care of it right away...it'll just sit there.

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...
