1st Amusement Park rides

So yesterday we took the girls to the amusement park near us that gives out tickets for summer reading at the library. We'll get to go another time (if not two more times). Yay for 3 different libraries near me!!!

We decided we would go and try with Scarlett to see if she would be okay on the little kid rides. The next time we go, we'll get a sitter for Scarlett and Dean and I will get tickets and ride the big rides with Riley and Alexandra.

Scarlett loved it! Unless we put her on a ride that had any sort of up and down motion. By the 3rd ride that went up and down she started screaming, so we avoided those from then on.

She loved the horses.

She loved the boats - and yes Alexandra loves them too, even though she doesn't look like it. She sat like that for every ride and would ask to ride again.

She loved the racing cars.

She did not like the motorcycles (they had little up and down hills.)

She liked the carousel. By this time we knew about the up and down - so we avoided all animals that moved.

She LOVED the little kids version of the Whip (which is Riley's favorite big kid ride - and unfortunately the big kid one was under maintenance so Riley didn't get to ride it.) We weren't sure about this one because it goes around pretty fast for a kids ride, but she loved it!


She rode this one over and over with Riley. It was hilarious. At first when she would want to ride stuff again we made her get off and get back in line, but by the end of the night there weren't any lines. So we tried to get her to stay on the rides, but she insisted she had to get off and get back on.

We were there for over 3 hours - which I didn't expect at all. I really thought we'd only be there an hour if we were lucky before Scarlett decided she was done. All the girls had a great time and the bigger two are looking forward to our next trip - since neither of them are big enough to drive the bumper cars. (Which is Alexandra's favorite and hopefully the Whip will be open for Riley.)

    I get the hint! Scarlett needs a "Grammy" evening anyway.

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...
