Just Because!

To Cut or Not to Cut... That IS the Question!

I know some of you have started to notice that Lily is at a crossroads when it comes to hair styles. To no fault of her own she has started to develop a Mullet... ok maybe it is more of a Scullet. She doesn't have very much hair on the top of her head but a good amount in the back, that seems to get longer everyday. Now if I continue to let this grow I going to have to live with the lasting effects it could have on Lily when she gets older and sees that I let her run around with a baby Mullet.


Lets just say I do decide to cut it... do I do it my self? I have no hair cutting experience... or do I take her some where to get it cut? Also if I do take her some where to get it cut are they going to look at me like I am crazy when they see that she hardly has any hair to start with? Any and all opinions on this are welcome.


And for your viewing pleasure....











Hey, not all Mullets are bad....

Oh Where Oh Where has my Child Gone?

I use to have this sweet lovely child living at my house but now I have a whiny grumpy little person driving me crazy. I don't know what is up with Lily she has been no fun the past two days. I get her home from daycare and she is just super whiny and nothing makes her happy. I feel bad that she is so miserable but she is making all of us miserable. Last night she was really nice an woke Tim and I up from 2:30 to 3:30... I tell you it was really nice to have a good hour break from a otherwise restful night of sleep. I get her to daycare this morning and she is happy running around playing with her friends and teacher. Tim and I are starting to think that maybe she doesn't like us anymore. Tim's dad Rob is coming to stay at our house for a few days to visit. I am hoping that tonight will be a better night or he might want to pack up and stay at a hotel lol! I am wondering if she is getting some of her back teeth in. I mean she doesn't have a fever or even a runny nose. I told Tim last night I was going to go ahead and let the fairs take her lol! He didn't think that was too funny at 3:00 am this morning.

Fall Goals!

Here are some goals I would like to work on this Fall.

1. Work out at least once a week.
2. Go on a date with Tim at least once a month.
3. Blog more!

Lily's First Swim Lesson.

This past Saturday Tim and I took Lily for her first swim lesson and as you can see she loved it. I think Tim also had a great time. Lily is getting so big everyday she does something new. She is now able to sit her self up so every time we go to get her out of her crib there she is just sitting up waiting for us.

Rolling Over!

Well Lily has started to roll over in her crib. She is getting to big!

SNOW DAY!

Today Lily got out of daycare early due to the snow... so I took her out for her first really snow.











I think she really liked it...

Lily's First Food

Lily's first taste of food... Tim and I took turns feeding her. I don't think she got to much in her mouth but she did have a good time....









Then it was off to the bath to get all cleaned up.

Lily Got her Ears Pierced!

We took Lily to get her ears pierced yesterday. She didn't really like it but after about ten minutes she was find and they look so cute!

Not So Merry Christmas

The past week has been a long one for us. Poor Lily hasn't been feeling good. It started last Tuesday she was pretty fussy which is really un like her. So I stayed home with her on Wednesday (Christmas Eve) and she was just getting more and more fussy so I took her temp and it was 102, so off to the ER we went. I was pretty upset I felt so bad for her. When we got to MWH they took us right back and thank god my sister in-law Shannon was there so I didn't have to be alone. They took some blood from Lily and her white blood cell count was up so they had to draw spinal fluid to find out what was wrong with her. At this point Tim was there and poor Lily wouldn't eat so she was starting to become dehydrated. They tried to give her an IV but were unable to get one started. I felt so bad for her. By 7 pm we were admitted and they told us we were going to have to stay for a few days to see what the test results were from her spinal fluid. They kept trying to get an IV started but failed every time. They tried 16 different times, 2 time in each hand 2 times in each arm 4 times in her scalp, once in each ankle and once in each foot. Since they still didn't have an IV and she wasn't eating they also put in a feeding tube (this is around 1 or 2 am) they tried to put an IV in to the bone in her leg, this is every painful and they are not able to give her any pain medicine. I had to leave the room for many of these things I just couldn't stand seeing them hurt my baby. The IV in the bone worked for about 5 minutes and then stopped so they had to take it out. At that point they told us there were going to have to send us to a different hospital b/c there was nothing more they could do for her there. Tim and I were upset and we were so tired and just wanted Lily to be ok so we deiced to go to MCV and around 6 am they transported Lily and I in an ambulance. Tim followed in the car. After we got to MCV things really turned around they said that she had an ear infection and it hurt for her to eat. They have her some ear drops to numb her hears and she started eating right away. Tim and I were so relieved after a couple of hours you could see that she was feeling much better. Everyone at MCV was so nice and they really took great care of Lily. It was hard being there on Christmas day but we were just glad that Lily was getting better. We got to go home on Friday. She still isn't her self but she is getting better. We are all hoping that next Christmas is much better. Her are some pictures of our hospital stay.

First Day Back to Work

Well today is my first day back to work and I feel like I am doing ok... Lily got up at 5 am so I feed her and got her all ready for her big day and we got out of the house by 5:45 I think we did pretty well. She was asleep when I dropped her of so I felt pretty good leaving her there. Her daycare isn't far from work so I went over at 11 today to feed her and she seemed happy so that makes me happy.

Some pictures of the ever changing Lily.

She is really changing everyday, she now smiles and makes all kinds of noises.
