My Little Girl

Lexi loves playing on her belly.



She sits like a big girl. Not by herself yet.



She always tries to stand up. She never just relaxes.

The Bat and the Beach Chair

Saturday we came home after being out and about for the day to find a foreign object perched above our door. I was like, "what is that??" Low and behold it was a BAT!!! CREEPY!!!



Sunday we peeked out our door to see if it was still there and it was. We were wondering if we should call Animal Control cause bats are very disease ridden. When we came home after Sunday dinner at the Beaudin's it finally was gone. Thank Goodness!!!!! What a creepy critter to have perched above your door. Everytime we walked out our door we wondered if it would fly at us luckily it never did. We are just glad its gone.

Saturday we were shopping around at Big Lots and saw the cutest beach chair for Lexi. It will last her several years and has a little umbrella attached to keep the sun off. This summer I am going to try to go to the pool everyday with her so this is going to be perfect to take down there for her to lounge in while we get some sun cause we are both white ghosts. When we got the chair home we put her in it and packed her in. It is of course still big for her and she cant sit up quite yet unassisted. These are the results:





Yesterday when Lexi fell asleep Scott thought it would be funny to put Lexi in her chair.



Also the lamb's head is just as big as Lexi's. :)

Rollin Rollin

Yesterday Lexi rolled from her stomach to her back and I didnt even get to see it. I was looking at my computer screen and she was playing on her stomach. I heard a little thud and the next thing I know Lexi is on her back. I keep putting her on her stomach to see if she will do it again but she hasnt. It is only a matter of time though before she is doing it all the time. She is getting so strong on her belly and she loves playing like that.

Lexi Update

The Dr. called and her ultrasound and test results came back negative so there is nothing wrong with her. I guess the UTI she got was just random. This is very great news for us. I just hate all that Lexi had to go through. I guess better safe than sorry. She doesnt even have to continue taking her medicine. :)

Im A Big Girl Now

Lexi no longer sleeps in our bedroom with us. 3 days ago we moved her into her own room in her crib. She sleeps awesome in it. She has always been a good sleeper and she still only wakes up once a night. The only difference is my walk to her is quite a big farther than it used to be. Scott however gets to sleep through the whole night now. I used to make him get up and get her out of her bassinet to bring her to me so I could feed her. We moved the rocking chair into her room so I just feed her in there. It was a little nerve racking at first for her to be so far away but I am getting used to it.

I know she loves her crib because this is how I find her every morning. Just chillin!

Our Little Girl...Sedated, Poked, & Praded

Lexi had to go into the hospital today to get an ultrasound on her kidneys to see what caused the UTI she got last week. She did ok during that because she could keep her clothes on and it wasnt painful. Next was the part I was not expecting...I knew they had to give her a catheter and put dye in her bladder to see if it flowed back up into her kidneys. What I was not prepared for was her having to be put under for the procedure. No one had told us this and we definetly werent expecting this extensive of a procedure. I guess when we had to report to Same Day Surgery that should have tiped us off.

The hardest part for me was when the Drs took her from Scott and I to take her into the OR (Operating Room) to put her under. Then they wheeled her out on the hospital bed all knocked out. It was so sad to see her like that, the worst thing was they couldnt get the IV in her arm so they had to put it in her head. I couldnt contain myself. Just thinking about it again makes me tear up.

Next they took her into the radiation room and started the procedure. The nurses couldnt get the catheter in right away so Lexi, even though she was under, was still aware of what was going on just cried and cried. They pumped the dye into her bladder and we waited. Finally she relieved herself and we watched to see if the dye went back up into her kidneys. The good news is that nothing happened. The dye was released like normal. Lexi was so distraught at this point because she had not been allowed to eat since 3 am so she was beyond famished at this point.

We were finally able to hold her and feed her. We are still waiting for her results from the kidney ultrasound but so far everything looks ok. We are being very optimistic about it. What trauma to have to go through at such a young age. I could say the same thing for myself, all the trauma I have experienced because of what she had to go through is enough to make you crazy. The good thing out of all of this is she will never remember going through it until I show her all the pictures when she is older. But in the end I am glad she is ok and we love her so much!!!

Boarding Scott

This is a setting I learned on my new camera. Pretty cool, huh.
