Back to "Normal"

I sure am doing a lot of stuff that has me feeling like a nurse since Sophia was born. Working and troubleshooting different kinds of feeding tubes and systems, oxygen, heart monitors, etc.  Today I got to take Sophia's electrodes off. It was not easy but again, she was so tolerant. Three days was quite enough. Jason was sad every time he looked at her that way. I thought she looked like a cute little cabbage patch ;-)

So I dressed her up cute for when he got home from work. He was happy :-) And things are back to "normal" now.

I was worried all that glue was going to pull out her beautiful red hair...but I was careful, and I saved it!


We have to wait 2 weeks to find out what kind of seizures she's having so we can determine how to best help her.


There is a song by Sarah Bareilles titled "The Light". It's our song. We listened to it on our first date. Right before our first kiss (haha- there's an embarrassing little test to see if Jason reads my blog!). There are two lines from that song that keep coming back to my mind because they also pertain to how I feel about Sophia.

"Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now. Who I was without you, I can do without."

Like with every child, once they're here, I can't imagine what it was like before.

She's growing up :-) She is getting fatter and longer, she's growing out of size one diapers (even though we just bought a whole case... naturally ;-). Her voice and her cry is maturing (not that she cries very much). And I think she even cooed today :-) I won't know for sure unless she does it again,
                                                                         but it  might have been something ;-)

Here's some more happiness:

 These little birdies brightened our spirits the other day :-)

And...do you remember running through the sprinklers (in your clothes) as a kid? I do. I did it a lot ;-)
Good times...
