I had it cleaned up a bit, but it's not letting me upload anymore pictures. I'll see what I can do.<br />
<br />
Anyway... My girls are growing up. Hayden is a mere month away from 2! Ella is 3 months already! Hayden has been such an amazing big sister to Ella. She's so loving to her, most of the time! :o)<br />
<br />
A little recap on the girls:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>Hayden is now 22 months old. She's probably about 26lbs. She's finally eating!! She actually ate a peanut butter sandwich for dinner! (I know, great dinner.) She's in speech therapy once a week and is "talking" a little more now. She said "na na" for "knock knock" today! She's also starting to say "Amen" after we pray. It's so cute! She looks so cute when she prays. She closes her eyes and bows her head. I love to see that she is starting to know Jesus. She's still not potty trained, not that she "should" be right now, but she is starting to acknowledge when she goes. She still doesn't want to sit on the potty yet. I'll ask her and she says "nope!" She's funny. <br />

Ella is doing really well and I believe she's finally up to 10lbs! I don't know for sure, but she feels like it and definitely looks like she's filling out. She's so beautiful. I'm trying to get her to nurse more. Somedays she wants more bottle than she wants me. It sucks. Today was a good day and she only took one bottle, and the rest was from me. I'm emotionally not ready to give up breast feeding her. I know it's the best milk for her, and I don't feel like it's fair that I nursed Hayden for a year. A year is what I want for Ella too, at least. I think she just needed the boost of calories from the formula. <br />

Hayden had the BIGGEST smile on her face the whole ride! She also rode the big slide with her Daddy, and did NOT have the biggest smile! Ha! She had a terrified look until they got to the bottom!

You are now 6 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time has flown! You are such an amazing joy! I love you so much! You love to snuggle and don't like to be set down! You are such a good sleeper! You usually go to sleep about 8pm, then I wake you up to take your medicine at 10pm. You'll eat and then go back to sleep. Then you usually only wake up about 3am to eat again, then not again until about 7am. It's really nice! You HATE riding in the car. Grandma was thinking that maybe it's because of the ambulance ride that you had to take by yourself. Maybe you were scared and now don't like riding where you can't see Mommy or Daddy. I'm going to try putting a picture back there with you. It breaks my heart to remember you riding in the ambulance by yourself at only 3 weeks old. I was so scared and brokenhearted that I wasn't in there with you. I thank God everyday that He had his hand on you throughout the whole scary experience. <br />
<br />
You are wearing newborn clothes and newborn diapers. You're still so tiny. At your one month appointment you were 21 1/4 inches tall and 7lbs 13oz. You've had such a hard time gaining weight with all of the issues with jaundice, RSV, SVT, and WPW. I'm so thankful that you're finally gaining weight with just Mommy's milk.<br />
<br />
I love you my sweet Ellabug,<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

I was thinking about my husband tonight while he's at work and I knew that one thing I'm really lacking with him is patience. The sermon at church was about patience with God last Sunday, I know I need that too, but right now, I really need to give patience to my husband. Life is stressful. Marriage is stressful. I need to show more love and patience. I'm going to restart the Love Dare and really try to commit to it. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I want to get back to a place where our love was the strongest. When we made time to really show each other how much in love we were.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Day 1</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love is patient</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, </div><div style="text-align: center;">bearing with one another in love. —Ephesians 4:2 NIV</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Love works. It is life’s most powerful motivator and has far greater depth and meaning than most people realize. It always does what is best for others and can empower us to face the greatest of problems. We are born with a lifelong thirst for love. Our hearts desperately need it like our lungs need oxygen. Love changes our motivation for living. Relationships become meaningful with it. No marriage is successful without it.<br />
<br />
Love is built on two pillars that best define what it is. Those pillars are patience and kindness. All other characteristics of love are extensions of these two attributes. And that’s where your dare will begin. With patience.<br />
<br />
Love will inspire you to become a patient person. When you choose to be patient, you respond in a positive way to a negative situation. You are slow to anger. You choose to have a long fuse instead of a quick temper. Rather than being restless and demanding, love helps you settle down and begin extending mercy to those around you. Patience brings an internal calm during an external storm.<br />
<br />
No one likes to be around an impatient person. It causes you to overreact in angry, foolish, and regrettable ways. The irony of anger toward a wrongful action is that it spawns new wrongs of its own. Anger almost never makes things better. In fact, it usually generates additional problems. But patience stops problems in their tracks. More than biting your lip, more than clapping a hand over your mouth, patience is a deep breath. It clears the air. It stops foolishness from whipping its scorpion tail all over the room. It is a choice to control your emotions rather than allowing your emotions to control you, and shows discretion instead of returning evil for evil.<br />
<br />
If your spouse offends you, do you quickly retaliate, or do you stay under control? Do you find that anger is your emotional default when treated unfairly? If so, you are spreading poison rather than medicine.<br />
<br />
Anger is usually caused when the strong desire for something is mixed with disappointment or grief. You don’t get what you want and you start heating up inside. It is often an emotional reaction that flows out of our own selfishness, foolishness, or evil motives.<br />
<br />
Patience, however, makes us wise. It doesn’t rush to judgment but listens to what the other person is saying. Patience stands in the doorway where anger is clawing to burst in, but waits to see the whole picture before passing judgment. The Bible says, “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly” (Proverbs 14:29).<br />
<br />
As sure as a lack of patience will turn your home into a war zone, the practice of patience will foster peace and quiet. “A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but the slow to anger calms a dispute” (Proverbs 15:18). Statements like these from the Bible book of Proverbs are clear principles with timeless relevance. Patience is where love meets wisdom. And every marriage needs that combination to stay healthy.<br />
<br />
Patience helps you give your spouse permission to be human. It understands that everyone fails. When a mistake is made, it chooses to give them more time than they deserve to correct it. It gives you the ability to hold on during the tough times in your relationship rather than bailing out under the pressure.<br />
<br />
But can your spouse count on having a patient wife or husband to deal with? Can she know that locking her keys in the car will be met by your understanding rather than a demeaning lecture that makes her feel like a child? Can he know that cheering during the last seconds of a football game won’t invite a loud-mouthed laundry list of ways he should be spending his time? It turns out that few people are as hard to live with as an impatient person.<br />
<br />
What would the tone and volume of your home be like if you tried this biblical approach: “See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another” (1 Thessalonians 5:15).<br />
<br />
Few of us do patience very well, and none of us do it naturally. But wise men and women will pursue it as an essential ingredient to their marriage relationships. That’s a good starting point to demonstrate true love.<br />
<br />
This Love Dare journey is a process, and the first thing you must resolve to possess is patience. Think of it as a marathon, not a sprint. But it’s a race worth running.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Today's Dare</div><div style="text-align: center;">The first part of this dare is fairly</div><div style="text-align: center;">simple. Although love is communicated</div><div style="text-align: center;">in a number of ways, our words often</div><div style="text-align: center;">reflect the condition of our heart. For</div><div style="text-align: center;">the next day, resolve to demonstrate</div><div style="text-align: center;">patience and to say nothing negative</div><div style="text-align: center;">to your spouse at all. If the temptation</div><div style="text-align: center;">arises, choose not to say anything. It’s</div><div style="text-align: center;">better to hold your tongue than to say </div><div style="text-align: center;">something you’ll regret.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Really, who can blame her?! Here, she came and sat on it while I was getting ready. Note: She has khaki shorts on.

I love that this is the beautiful view I have of my sweet Ellabug most of my day. I love having her curled up on my lap, holding tight to me. It's even more special having experienced what we did with her during her third week of life. Trying to nurse her through wires and needles all throughout my precious angel, was hard, emotionally and physically. I knew she needed me and that I was her comfort when she was so little and didn't know what was going on. All she knew was that Mommy was there, Mommy was trying to keep her calm, and comfortable.

Hayden,<br />
<br />
You are turning into such a big girl! I love being around you and your blossoming personality! You are definitely a feisty little girl! You love to read books and I often find you in your room with all of your books off of your shelf! You startle very easily which makes me laugh! You jump out of your skin if I walk in and you're doing something you shouldn't! We're still working on getting you talking. We took you for a speech evaluation and you were marked as severely delayed. That worries us, but we know you understand everything, you just aren't saying words. You'd rather sign. And, you are picking up new signs very quickly. I just can't wait to hear you really talking and saying "Mommy."<br />
<br />
You LOVE your baby sister! It's wonderful to see you loving on her and holding her hand as we all snuggle on the couch. You give her the best kisses!<br />
<br />
You are 24.2 lbs, I'm not sure how tall you are but I'm guessing around 32 inches. You are wearing 18-24 month clothes and size 5 shoes. You're in size 4 diapers, but wear cloth diapers most of the time at home. You're hair is getting so long! I love it! You finally started to eat more! You actually ate spaghetti the other night! I was so proud of you! You have 9 teeth. The front top 4, bottom 2, and 3 molars. I think you have a bottom front tooth coming in too. You are an excellent teether because I never know when your teeth are coming in!<br />
<br />
I think our next challenge is going to be potty training! I have no idea how to do it and you don't want to yet! In time... in time...<br />
<br />
I love you big girl!<br />
Love,<br />

The doctor didn't like the sound of her cough and called the hospital to get her checked for RSV. She was given a breathing treatment before we left. We had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance because she's only 3 weeks old and they didn't want any chance for her to stop breathing. I really thought they were over reacting a little bit because she had been just fine, she just had a cough. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

She was given 3 more breathing treatments through the night and then all of a sudden at 2am a doctor rushes in to check her. Her heart rate was at 300 beats per minute. A bunch of other people rushed in and then they rushed her to the PICU. I had no idea what was going on and Will had gone home to spend the night with Hayden. They worked on Ella for about 2-3 hours to get her heart to stabilize. She was given about 14 doses of a medicine to convert her heart back to a normal rhythm. Finally she was given a drip medicine then another dose and it worked. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Turns out that she has a heart condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. She went into supraventricular tachycardia. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

The condition can lead to episodes of rapid heart rate (tachycardia). </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

She'll be on medicine probably for the rest of her life, but she can live a full, active, normal life. Which I'm very thankful for. All in all, scariest night of my life. We're still in the PICU because she's now on the oral medicine, Propranolol, that she'll stay on most likely for years. They have to monitor that for about 48 hours to make sure she doesn't have any other episodes. As of right now (9pm, 2/16/11) she has 2 more doses (every 6 hours) of the Propranolol before we're able to talk about going home. </div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

I guess in a way I'm thankful that she got the breathing treatments, otherwise we wouldn't have known that she had this. On top of this, she does in fact, have RSV too, but they don't need to do anything for it.</div><div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><br />

She entered the world on Sunday, January 23, 2011, at 7:17am!<br />
<br />
Here's the story...<br />
Saturday night I went to bed around 10pm, and then woke up at midnight cramping. Will was still up and playing a video game. I went out and told him I was cramping, and he replied with "You're kidding, right?" Haha! Nope. I debated on what to do. After I realized that the cramping was about 4 minutes apart, I called my mom and she came over to stay with Hayden while we went to the hospital. I called my dad too, since he'd gone to San Diego... AGAIN. (Yes, that may sound familiar, since he was in San Diego when I went into labor with Hayden!) When he answered, all I said was, "You're going to love me!" He said, "You've got to be kidding me."<br />
<br />
We got to the hospital about 1:30am, and parked in the garage, but the main entrance of the hospital was closed, so we walked around the hospital over to the emergency room. I guess the walking did good, plus I knew they'd make me walk anyway. I checked into the labor and delivery triage and was monitored for about 15 minutes. They checked my cervix and I was dilated to 2-3cm. The Monday before at my appointment, I was barely a fingertip. She called the doctor and had me walk for a little bit. She told me that it looked like it was only uterine irritability though, and they'd probably send me home if there was no change when I got back. <br />
<br />
Well, Will and I started walking and my contractions got more intense. After only about 10 minutes of walking, at exactly 2am, my water broke in the hallway! That was the weirdest feeling! I sure wish I had a camera to capture the look on Will's face! He yelled down the hall for a nurse and three came running! The put me in the room right where my water broke and said, "Looks like you're staying!" I couldn't believe how fast everything was happening.<br />
<br />
We called my mom and she called my grandma and had her come take over staying with Hayden. We also called my dad and let him know what happened. There was no way he was going to make it back in time. They couldn't find a flight back until later. He was really upset. I also let my friend, Amber, of <a href="http://www.amberlearussellphotography.com/">Amber Lea Russell Photography</a>, know what was going on since she asked to photograph the birth. I'm really glad she got to be there since my dad and step mom didn't make it back this time. <br />
<br />
My contractions were a lot stronger than I remembered with Hayden and things were going faster. I got my epidural when I was only 4cm this time, before my mom and Amber got there. The epidural made my blood pressure drop and made me get sick. That wasn't fun, but after it got better, life got better. I was able to talk and laugh with everyone. <br />
<br />
I started to feel pressure about 7am and was checked. The nurse said I was complete and to try a practice push. She counted "1...2... STOP!!" She called Dr. Mainman and he got there quickly. Two, very easy pushes and my beautiful Ella Sophia entered the world at 7:17am. She had a very short umbilical cord, just like Hayden. Will cut the cord and then had to sit down and put his head between his knees. (He claims he was just hungry... :o) It's true, we were both exhausted and starving. <br />
<br />
Ella weighed 7lbs, 6.9oz and was 20 inches long. She looks like her big sister, but has her daddy's lips, long fingers and long toes. Hayden loves her sister and gives her kisses all of the time. She's having a little bit of hard time adjusting to the changes at home though. We're trying to make sure that she's helping all that she can. I love my girls and I'm so blessed. <br />

I can't believe that it has been a year and a half since the moment that I fell so deeply in love with you. You are the light of my life. You are learning and doing so much right now! You have such a big personality! You have mastered the dirty look and "no." Joy. You also think you can manipulate the situation by giving kisses. Sometimes it works... but we're not falling for it with everything! You've moved into your big girl room, all except for yourself! You love playing in there! It's so fun to see you light up every time you go back there! You got a kitchen for Christmas and love cooking for Mommy and Daddy! You play pretend really well already! You are still signing most of your words and seem to be picking up more signs all of the time. You are also talking more! You go to the nursery at church a little easier now and I love seeing you get so excited when we come in to pick you up and you immediately start waving, saying "bye!" and blowing kisses to everyone in there! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You are now 23lbs and 33 inches tall! You're in the 30th percentile for weight and the 84th percentile for height! Tall and skinny! Hopefully you'll stay like that, just like your Daddy! You are eating better now too! I think it's because you finally cut your 5th and 6th tooth. They are back ones, but not molars yet. It's taken you a long time to get your teeth! I sure do love that gummy smile and am really going to miss it when it's gone! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib23G8ireL6OsrZxOpnHlpMG8E0_bwzJGo2kADJZL5nfWZWa4MRIgVILzOHy00t55DkWrETkhbwVwoTluPog_G20qskFlm1nBtoqoui5gQ_FqhrHUFtQc0hBFAtTNl6y2_aTEE7HbxsiVM/s1600/DSCN1741.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib23G8ireL6OsrZxOpnHlpMG8E0_bwzJGo2kADJZL5nfWZWa4MRIgVILzOHy00t55DkWrETkhbwVwoTluPog_G20qskFlm1nBtoqoui5gQ_FqhrHUFtQc0hBFAtTNl6y2_aTEE7HbxsiVM/s320/DSCN1741.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well, sadly, I don't know if "enjoyed" is the right word. It was definitely not their best service. Oh well, we enjoyed family time and celebrating Christ's birth. <br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You are 17 months now! You are so beautiful! I love you more and more everyday! You are definitely a toddler now! You run around like crazy, love to get into things you shouldn't, and you have some attitude sometimes! You are so funny! You're not a very good eater right now, and sometimes we worry about you not wanting to eat anything. You love your milk and we are STILL trying to get you off of drinking it only from a bottle! You "talk" a lot but don't really have too many real words that you say. You sign a lot now though! You can sign: strawberry, grapes, apple, more, all done, please, milk, and I think there's more, but that's all I can think of at the time. You know exactly what you're doing when you say "uh oh" though! You weigh 22 lbs still and some ounces but Daddy forgot when you went to the doctor. You had a pretty bad rash on your tummy and we're still not sure where it came from but it took about a week to go away. You love to play outside and you love when Grandma comes over! You wear 12-18 month clothes and size 4-5 shoes. You're in a size 3-4 diaper. You are such a doll and love to give kisses all of the time! </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love you so much! </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Love, </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Mommy</div><br />

It's hard for me to keep to it though, but I'm going to try!<br />
<br />
Sunday: <a href="http://community.cookinglight.com/archive/index.php/t-36017.html">Potato Leek Soup </a> Because Vickie's was so good!<br />
Monday: <a href="http://www.hiddenvalley.com/recipe/view/243/">Ranch Tetrazzini</a><br />
Tuesday: <a href="http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotchicken/r/bl61c5.htm">Broccoli Rice and Chicken</a><br />
Wednesday: <a href="http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetariancrockpotrecipe/r/crockpotpeasoup.htm">Vegetarian Split Pea Soup</a><br />
Thursday: Dinner at Grandmas<br />
Friday: Left overs<br />
Saturday: Dinner out<br />
<br />
Here's hoping it works out! Wednesday may get postponed because I need to find someone to watch Hayden in the afternoon. Thus, I'd probably have dinner with Grandma or Dad, whoever can watch her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
