We had a GREAT time last night - thank you for coming if you came!!  :)

We stayed almost the whole time last, but left about 5 minutes before it was over.  I'm glad that we did b/c In n Out was packed & we didn't have the fight the crowd from the game added in too. 

We went to church this morning & right before "big church" started, Diane came & got me saying that Zachary had a fever.  I was like," really?"  I was shocked b/c he had been feeling just fine.  Sure enough, when I walked in he was not feeling good at all.  He came with me and I gave him some tylenol & he fell asleep on Les.  After I nursed Sadie; then I took the kids & left.  I brought them back to my parents' house so that everyone else could stay and enjoy the service.  Zachary ended up falling asleep in their bed for about 2 hours.  Poor baby!  He's feeling better this evening, but still some fever; which is his only symptom for now.  Hopefully it'll pass fast & he'll be fever free! 

Have a good evening & be safe w/ the storms a brewing out there!!!

Football Mame

No, I didn't type it wrong - this is how Zachary says it!!  :) 

Tonight after our HOA social/clean-up/meeting; then we're heading up into Allen to see the Allen Wranglers play tonight at the AEC.  Zachary LOVES sports, so he has been asking everyday for over a week yet if it's time to go to the game.  So, we have been counting down the days!  Today he was SUPER excited when I told him that today was the day for the football game. 

I'll try to take some pictures at the game tonight, so stay tuned!

Enjoy the day & praise God for another breath of life!!

Discharged

Miss Sadie was discharged from her GI doc yesterday.  What an exciting day it was for me!  :)  We were going there b/c she had a very high bilirubin, but the thing is; it's not the normal jaundice that goes away with light therapy.  She was taking a medication to help get the sludge moving out of her gall bladder and get that bilirubin down.  The last 2 visits it has been normal & Dr R said," I'm going to have to say goodbye now."  While we just love the guy - so nice, compassionate, gentle, etc; what a BIG praise for my little girl.  Dr R said," you told me in the beginning that it would do this and I believed you.  That's why I didn't run all those expensive tests."  Praise the Lord!!!

We will still be seeing the hematologist for a while, but that's okay!  We love Dr C & have been seeing her since Zachary was born, so we have a very good relationship with her.  Her & I talked several times during my pregnancy with Sadie when I was worried about something.  If you ever need a Hematologist or GI doc - you call me!  Sadie does have 4 weeks off from seeing the hematologist, but does have to go back in 2 weeks for blood work.  She has actually gone up by .2 since the last visit 2 weeks ago; which is a HUGE praise b/c that means that she is MAKING her own red blood cells now.  Which also means; more than likely, NO MORE BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS!!!  I just keep praying that this is the case & if so, she's JUST like her big brother!  So, 3 & that's it.  Time will tell especially when we go back in 2 weeks.  If it's still up where it was this last time; then that's pretty much a sure sign that blood transfusions are over & in our past. 

I hope to blog more b/c I have really missed it, but I have been busy with Zachary & Sadie.  They're definitely worth having my attention & then Les gets my attention at night when he's home!

We have also been working on getting our Lucas house on the market, so sometime in the next few days (once our Realtor has a sunny day for pics).  He's hoping for Monday, but really all depends on the weather!  We have filled out the paperwork and gave all that to him today.

I'll leave you with a few pics.....just one........we're about to get hit with a severe storm.  ENJOY!!!!

2 months old.........already?!

Yep!  Our big girl turned 2 months old last week, May 4th.  I can't believe it.

Let's see, she weighed in at 9 lbs 1.3 oz at her check-up.  She was in the 25th precentile for both height and weight - I was proud!

She's still breastfeeding exclusively & does not want a bottle.  She'll just fuss & fuss till she gets what she wants.  She also doesn't want the paci, so she goes al la natural..... :)

Zachary loves her so much & I think the feeling is mutual.  She is now awake some throughout the day & she just watches him, reaches for him, and even grins at him.  He enjoys watching her, laying by her, kissing her on the head, helping with her, etc.  He's a very big helper!!!!!!

Her grin just melts my heart & I just love it when she grins!

Here are some pictures of our big girl along with a few others over the last month.  :)

Family picture w/ the bluebonnets up at Eisenhower State Park

1st bath together - he wanted to help bathe her.  Such a sweet big brother!!!

She loves bathtime!!!

Here they are at the 2 month check-up - they just adore each other.  This makes me SOO happy b/c if you read a blog before she got here; I was upset w/ not knowing how they would do together, my time split between them, etc.  My heart overflows with love for our completed family!!

2 months old!!!  (9 wks)

Another "pose" - Aunt Donna made this blanket for me - it worked perfectly as a background for the picture since she's in pink!!

This was before they got in the bathtub - getting ready to get their clothes taken off to get in!

7 wks old - She was grinning - it was really sweet!!!

7 wks old & grinning real big again!!!  This blanket was made by Becky Gardner - thank you!!!

Here is a pic of me, my mom, and Z with 4 of the Allen Wrangler football players!!!

I layed Sadie down to enjoy this toy & Zachary immediately got under it with her.

He had just kissed her (his lips are still pursed).  We were all 3 on our bed & playing in there.  We had been playing a few little games with Sadie & singing to her.  :)

Hope you enjoyed the pictures!!!!
