Thursday, April 26th, 2007Madeline had her EEG removed today. She did such a great job. She got right up on the bed and lay down. It was so wonderful. He took the electrodes off with acetone, same thing in finger polish rremover. She was so great. While he was rubbing her head she actually started falling to sleep. [...]
All through the night
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Mimi went to bed quickly last night on account of the fact that she had not had a real nap. Unfortunately she awoke at 10ish due to discomfort. She continued tossing and turning, crying on and off and having an overall rough time until 12. At that point she settled into sleeping on me and [...]
Ambulatory EEG
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007Today Madeline had to go into Phoenix Children’s Hospital to be hooked up to an ambulatory EEG. She is still having what we think are seizures during her sleep. The Nuerologist is not sure that they are and since we never had a diagnosis on her he would like to run more tests. The ambulatory [...]
So thankful my stupid husband is alive!
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007Today during lunch Bill went hiking in the McDowell Mountains. He set out at 11 for a short trip without a water bottle in his sandals and shorts. He thought he would just enjoy the nice cool day (80 degrees) before he went to get lunch. At 1:56 the phone rang at home (note 3 [...]

Family Photo
Saturday, April 21st, 2007Monkeying around!
Saturday, April 21st, 2007Today was Madeline’s party and it was a wonderful time. We enjoyed friends and family. Mimi was fussy for the first hour or so of her party. She really does not like new situations and would not get into things for a bit. She enjoyed some food and played with people. She swung on the [...]
Kimmie made it
Saturday, April 21st, 2007Through the night dry! Woohoo for Kimmie.
Happy Birthday Madeline
Friday, April 20th, 2007Today is Madeline’s 2nd birthday. It is amazing to me how fast time passes. She is growing a maturing into a sweet girl that everyone adores. I love birthdays. I love to celebrate them with pomp and circumstance. To me a birthday, especially one for my children, signifies those moments when we met and began [...]
I wouldn’t pee on Lightning McQueen
Thursday, April 19th, 2007Today marks Annie’s second day waking up dry from her overnight slumber. This is huge! She is so proud of herself and so happy to have achieved this. If she makes it to 5 days she will be able to get a My Pretty Pony at the store. Of course when we went to buy [...]
Mimi’s plan
Thursday, April 19th, 2007We had Mimi’s meeting yesterday and she will be receiving services soon. She qualifies for 1 hour per week with a developmental specialist to work on her shyness and trying new things. Goal for this would be that in 6 months she should be able to go to church nursery school. She also qualifies for [...]
Last day of Gymnastics
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Today was the final class in gymnastics. We have decided to leave this gym as the children are not challenged enough. Not once did they use bars or set foot on a balance beam. It was mainly full of forward rolls and such trivial tasks. The children were often bored and messing around getting in [...]
Woohoo
Monday, April 16th, 2007I have been delaying this post since we have been getting mixed messages and needing more and more documentation but it is finally happening. She has finally been approved through the Department of Developmental Disabilities to receive assistance with articulation. Wednesday Mimi will be having her Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP). This will be a [...]
Mommy in threes
Monday, April 16th, 2007I read this on Katie’s blog and thought that it would be a great way to impart some off beat knowledge to my children. Hopefully Daddy will do it too. I know that they would be interested in his thoughts as well. Three Things That Scare Me: 1. My children dying 2. Space, the vastness [...]
A birthday picnic
Saturday, April 14th, 2007Yesterday I was sleeping in and Kimberly was setting up a birthday picnic for Belle. It was so cute. With Madeline’s 2nd birthday less than a week away the house is full of birthday chatter. They talk often about what they will get her and how the party will be. It is adorable. I just [...]
Growing up
Thursday, April 12th, 2007“Mom guess what? I don’t need my nuk anymore. I am a big girl” ~ Annie in a super duper excited voice as she woke me up this morning. She could not find her nuk last night when she went to sleep so she went to sleep without it. She woke up this morning overjoyed [...]
A year of difference
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007A friend of mine posted what she had blogged about a year ago so I thought it an interesting thought. I checked out April 2006 and found this entry which really noted how we have changed. Mimi takes her medication twice daily now. Often running over to get it. How weird it is to remember [...]
In a moment
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007I read a myriad of blogs for one reason or another. They all bring a little something different into my life. I don’t know many of the people and they don’t know me. Yet when something happens to them I get emotionally involved. Yesterday as I was going through my blogs, I read Especially Heather [...]
Daddy is a pushover!
Tuesday, April 10th, 2007The title of this pic really does not show the depth or connotate how serious this is. Daddy really is a pushover with these children. I know that he never could understand the differences they would make in him. How they have made him softer. Softer than he ever was before. It is nice to [...]
Freeze Frame
Monday, April 9th, 2007There have been so many times I have tried to freeze frame my life in my mind. *Holding 2 babes in my arms and rocking them to sleep for their mid-day nap as the smell of their lotion permeates my being. *Staying up the entire night Madeline was born and watching as the sun rose [...]
