Hair today gone tomorrow :(

So here's how my mornings go.....beep beep beep...the alarm goes off at 6am....I hit snooze :) beep beep beep...there it is again!  I guess I'll get up???  Johnny heads off to take care of Joey..he wakes her, feeds her, and gets her dressed most week days (what a man :)!  I hop in the shower for a quick rinse off and hair washing, sometimes if it's extremely necessary, I'll shave my legs.  After the shower, I'll get out and finish getting ready for the day.  I'll get dressed, brush and dry my hair, and head downstairs to spend some time with the fam.  Joey and I leave at 7:15 to go to Miss Holli's house.  "What is the point of this blog?" you are saying....well here goes.  For the past few weeks, I have noticed a change in hair.  When I was preggo, I had hair growing out of my neck (I referred to it as teen wolf) and the hair on my legs stopped growing.  The hair on my head got thicker and grew faster.  The script has totally been flipped on me!  The leg hair is back...the neck hair is gone (thank you Jesus!), my hair has stopped growing at warp speed, and it's all falling out!!!  This is not a joke...each time I brush my hair, I have to clean the brush out.  I'm seriously considering rogaine for women!  Everyone says it will stop, but I'm afraid I won't have any hair left and that will be the reason it stops :(  Yikes....so if you see me with a hat on my head, and no pony tail coming out of the back, you know why!  Thank goodness I have a super cute baby to show for it, or else I would be sad!

To nap or not to nap...that is the question!

Ahhhhh, nap time :)  How sweet it is!  I am sitting in our living room while Johnny and Joey take well deserved naps!  There was once a time when I too would be napping!  Now I am constantly thinking of what I can get done while Joey is asleep.  Her laundry needs to be folded, restock the diaper stashes around the house....is the diaper bag stocked and ready to go at a moments notice???...have I eatin yet?.....put the high chair away.....write a blog....and more!!!  These are the things I never thought I'd be concerned with, but now are all too important!  Saturday is a great day to get this stuff done.....nevermind, I'm taking a nap :)  Night night!!!

This is a pic pre nap :)   Seriously cute!!

Welcome back :)

Wow, it's been quite a long time! I am starting a new blog on this site because it's FREE, and can be just as fun! Joey has been up to so much since I last wrote! She talks all the time now...I'm not sure what she is saying, but she totally responds to you anytime you talk to her! She's rolled over about 5 times, and is holding onto things for long periods of time! Don't get near her with anything you don't want in her mouth, because she is reaching for things and that is where everything ends up! Joey is now 12.1 lbs and 23.25 inches long! She's getting so big and I can't believe she's already 4 months old! Time is going by so quickly and I didn't think I'd be as sentimental about her getting bigger as I am! We have a heart doc appointment on the 15th, so if you don't hear from me by then, you can expect a post afterword for sure! Thanks to everyone who keeps up with our family! I will do my best to keep ya'll updated! Here's a super cute pic of our little lady!

Joey ate cereal for the first time :)

So we tried to feed Joey some cereal today!  Her doctor said she was ready to eat real food!  Here's how it went :)

Yippeeeee

we just got a MacBook!!  Fabu :)

shake, rattle and roll......

So I was eating dinner tonight, and Joey was lying on her back on the floor. She has been trying to roll over for the past few days, and she finally did it!!!!! It was the cutest thing ever :) Johnny missed it :( I'm sure she will do it again tomorrow! That's it.....

I heart you :)

So yesterday we took Joey to the Pediatric Cardiologist to check out a heart murmer that our Pediatrician discovered at Joey's 2 month appointment. She did so good! Joey had to get an EKG.....basically they stick stickers all over her chest and shoulder area then the clip things to them and get a reading of her heart beat. She didn't cry or anything, and seemed to not mind being naked (with the exception of the diaper they let us keep on her). They put us in a room and we waited for the doctor. He said that he couldn't tell what he wanted to from the EKG, so we had to get a Sonogram on miss Joesphine! She had to lay still for over 20 minutes and she did. The sono tech kept putting jelly on her and rubbing her chest with this sono wand. She just sat there and cooed, oh and of course pooped :) It was silent and she was not :) The sono tech let us go back to the room when she was done and let us get Joey dressed again to wait for the doctor. Again, no crying, just cooing and having a great time until.......the doctor wanted to take another sono of her heart. We had to get her naked again and put her back in the sono room. She had had enough! She was crying and kicking and not being too excited about getting that jelly on her again. The doctor did the sono this time....it took about 5 minutes then he sent us to the room to wait for him. He came in after we dressed her again, and calmed her down...she actually fell asleep on me :) So sweet!!! He began to explain how the heart works....then he showed us a diagram of how Joey's heart is working. She has pulmanary valve stinosis (sorry if the spelling is off). This is where one of her valves is only opening to 90% as opposed to 100%. He explained that this was not a huge deal and compared it to opening a door. If you open the door 100% it is just as easy to go through that as it is to go through a door that is 90% open. We only need to worry if the valve opens 40 or 50%. Then he said that Joey has a medium size hole in her heart. It is letting oxygenated blood into the side of the heart that it shouldn't be in. He said that this is pretty common and usually heals itself. Then he said that she may or may not have a vein that is draining into the wrong heart chamber. He said that he couldn't see this for sure and that is why he wanted to get her in the sono room again. All these things he assured us are pretty common and nothing to worry about! He said to keep on living life as normal and bring her in in 2 months to see the progress of things. He wants to make sure that the hole is closing, the vein is not draining into the wrong chamber, and the valve is not getting worse. He was very encouraging, and we are sure that the good Lord will take care of our precious baby girl!! On a good note, she is growing :) 22 1/4 inches long and 10lbs 5 ozs!! He said this was a great sign!! We will keep you posted!
