Updates

Raquelle got a new car seat this weekend. I tried it on her today. She definitely isn't going anywhere if we crash with her buckled into this thing. It's a never been used before hand me down seat. Thanks mom for sending this down. Tell whoever it came from thanks too.
Well, we finally gave in and painted the baby purple. It's really not a good color on her. I'm hoping it will clear up by this weekend. She was not very happy with the process. I'm sure that stuff must tast nasty, but hopefully after a few days of purple slobber we will be done with the thrush. We have to re-paint her again tomorrow and Thursday and then we can let her gradually return to her previous color.

She looks so little in that seat!

Purple is never fun, but at least she isn't a boy and the purple isn't gracing her first Christmas pictures... that's what we did.

The thrush still isn't better yet? I feel soooo sorry for you. I recommend a squishy ball for you to torment while you are nursing. It probably would have stopped me from throwing anything close enough to throw! And probably a little less dangerous for those around me!

My thrush was mostly better, but Raquelle's mouth was still white. I didn't want to chance getting it back so we did the gention violet.

Awww - gotta love the purple pictures - I'm sorry you're still going through it! Hopefully this will put the final touches on getting rid of it. Also, remember a little white is normal - it's hard to tell the milk white from the thrush white. I was constantly worried that thrush was coming back, since their mouths just always seem white! Enjoy your purple little girl, and don't put any clothes on her that you love!

Birth Story

Ok, as promised, here is Titus birth story and it's probably going to be pretty long. It actually starts 2 weeks ago with prodominal labor. I had this with Raquelle where I start contracting early, but make no cervical change. We went to the hospital on Sunday night the 8th with contractions 4 min apart. The contractions were making no change, but Titus HB was low and not variable enough so they kept me. After monitoring over night, there had been no progress, but his HB was better. My MW offered to try a cytotec to ripen things up and see if that would get things going for him to be born. I had the first dose at 8 AM and a 2nd dose around noon. They caused my ctx to become very consistent but not incredibly painful. By the end of the day I had made no progress and his HB had been better so we went home. Went to the dr the next day and she offered to induce with pitocin. We said no. Then next Sunday the 15th, I had been cleaning all day and probably over did it (my mom wa...

2 month check up

I don't want to forget to blog about the kids!  When we have a new baby, I love to be able to look back and see how their growth and milestones compare to their siblings! Annabelle is 11 weeks old today.  She had her 2 month check up last week.  We are battling thrush again just like we did with the first 3.  She does NOT nurse well (still),  but I haven't had to go to formula yet.  Every day, feeding her is a struggle and it feels like a long uphill battle. Her 2 month stats - Height - 23.75" Weight - 12 lbs 8 oz She is way ahead on her social milestones.  She already imitates me and will track objects and turn her head to keep following them when they go out of her line of sight. She doesn't tolerate tummy time very well though, so she hasn't built up as much strength as her oldest sibling had by this age.  She is still right on track with what is normal though.  I don't have her paper in front of me now, but she is right about 7...

Almost a decade!

 I have not posted anything on this blog in about 9 years!  The kids are growing up, and last night, as teenagers, Kezzy came across this blog.  “Mom!!! You have a blog?  Can I read it?”  Since then, she and Titus have been reading everything on here, reminiscing about how cute they were when they were little.  It got me thinking that maybe I should resurrect this old blog!  I have another child now (Theo) who was never even mentioned in any previous posts, and very little is on here about Annabelle and Philemon!  I’ll have to think about what I want to write about, now that the kids are older.  In the mean time, here is a new picture of my now much more grown up children.  This picture is of me and the kids on Mothers Day.
