Oh Paige!

Everytime I turn around Paige has a new outfit on. Needless to say, I do alot of laundry. Last week she came out to show me a new shirt that she found in her closet. At first I was wondering where she got it from then it dawned on me that is was Addison's 6-9 month swimsuit coverup. I do have to say it looked good as a shirt. :) Then last night she said she found some new pajamas. I looked closely at her and she had one of Addison's 6-9 month summer outfits on. How does she fit into these when she normally wears 4T?

Yummy yummy!

This past weekend I started Addison on cereal and applesauce. She loved it. She laughs the entire time I try to feed her. Today we started cereal and sweet potates and she could not get enough.

It's A BOY!!!!

Well, if you noticed I had removed the news about Brett and Michele being pregnant this would be why. They had a huge scare 10 days ago when her AFP test (down syndrome) came back abnormal. They brought her back for another test that same week and said if the score was high again that they would do the triple / quadruple test which was 98% correct. So Michele just asked him to do the other test the same day as the 2nd AFP. This test consisted of removing a piece of the placenta, letting it multiple and grow in a petree dish and testing the DNA make up and looking at the Chromosome make up. The Doctor gave the worst case scenarios that included severe heart condition, downs, still born, etc. To say the least Brett and Michele have had a devasting month between Robert's accident and now this.

But I am Happy to say they got the results back today and everything is just fine!!!! There were no chromosome abnormalities. Oh and its a BOY!!! I cannot wait to have another Newphew.

Thursday Night NIGHTMARE....

Usually on Thursdays we go out to dinner. As we were having a great dinner at Johnny's Tacos I looked in my purse to get out my wallet for yet a few more quarters for the video games and basketball game, I noticed I had 8 missed calls. When I see that it always scares me, and I think the worse. I looked at the missed calls and they were from my Mom and my Brother. OH GREAT!!!! I called my Moms cell and the first thing I asked was if something was wrong. She said yes and her phone started to break up, I lost her. It was the longest 7 minutes of my life.

Thursday night Ashleigh had batting practice. Asheigh is an awesome hitter just like her Mom. Ashleigh hit a ball way over the outfield fense, so Robert got his bicyle helmet on and rode his bike out to get the ball. As he was bending over to get the ball Ashleigh had hit another and it hit him on the right side of the head. Needless to say the nighmare started. Robert was rushed to emergency and they did a cat scan immediately. He had to skull fractures. The goodthing is that he was conscious the whole time, the bad thing was the feeling was coming and going on the right side of his body. Once he was stabilized, the Hospital was calling around to all the Hospitals in California to fina a trauma unit with an open bed. They ended up transporting him to Kaiser Hollywood by Ambulance. They were worried because of the bleeding on the brain, and the skull was so close to the brain. The plan was that they were going to have to do brain surgery when he arrived out there. OMG! There was a Neurologist and the Head of Peds was waiting for his arrival. They check Robert out fully and re-looked at the Cat scan, luckily there was no puncture to the brain, it was still smooth. They were worried about the bleeding so they did another cat scan in the morning. Luckily the bleeding was due to the impact and had slowed down. They put Robert on seizure medication because of the trauma to the brain and gave him tylenol to take the edge off. They also were giving him antibiotics thru the IV. The bad thing was is Roberts head is really hurting him and they could do nothing to relieve the pressure (needle inserted into head to release pressure and fluid)because the brain was exposed due to the two fractures.

Robert was released late on Saturday night to go home. He has to continue taking the seizure medicine for at least a month if not six months. He definitely has vertigo (dizziness and equalibrium off) has a hard time walking without stumbling. We went out to my Moms to see him and he is definitely not himself. My heart breaks for him. Thank goodness GOD was watching over him because it came close to the temple. You know what would of happened then. He cannot ride a bike, scooter, play any outside games, balls, or ride in the car unless it is completely necessary etc for at least six months. Can you imagine a six year old and let alone Robert staying that still? WOW!!! He goes back to the Doctor on Monday and they will re-evaluate having the surgery and returns in a month for another Cat Scan down in Hollywood. The Doctor will then re-evaluate him to see about swimming, and riding on the riding on the boat and car.

He is out of school for a week and depending on how Monday goes possible out for Home school for a month. He cannot chance hitting his head, plus the seizure medication makes him very drowsy.

What a Week...

Well this week did not start off to well. We started last weekend with a trip to urgent care for Paige, the diagnosis was not what we wanted nor what we were expecting PINK EYE! Oh great, not only do I have to worry about the entire family getting it but Nana and Papa Wilcox were over for dinner the same night. Luckily we have all been safe so far. Then Tuesday my Parents came into town and watched both Girls at the house. All week Paige was excited for them to come over and to watch her at dance class that evening watch her at dance class. I have been telliny my Parents all along how well she has been doing. So they get her dressed and they follow me to dance. Would you know it Paige wanted nothing to do with it when we got there. She cried, covered her face, told me how tired she was and so on. I looked like the biggest LIAR of all. Kids geez!!!! Then Wednesday came around and I started not to feel good myself, sure enough a nice cold, fever of 102.1 and achy body. I got some antibiotics and I am starting to feel a little better today. Addison has been fighting off this cold/ allergy thing also, but she has been a trooper. On top it it she had her 2 month shots also. Thank goodness we only had to battle fevers for that evening only. She has been smiling and laughing so much lately. She is what is keeping us all going this week..

Girls Night Out...

Last night I had a blast from the past with some of my best friends Heather, Lisa, and Emily. We met at Lucille's in Irvine. I have not laughed that much in awhile, at times I was crying. We sat in that booth for hours. Even one of the waitress' said to us as we were leaving "you guys are still here". I did not get home until midnight, thank goodness Addison had a good night and did not get up until 6am. Thanks again for a great night!! We need to do it again soon.

Thank you EMILY!!

Thank you Emily for the adorable headbands. I could not resist putting one on her today.

Easter 2008

Easter at the Park in Menifee

As you can see above we had a great time at the park on Easter with all of our friends and family. The kids had an incredible easter egg hunt with probably 300 eggs to find, they played baseball, and we all took in a little sun, some of us more than others. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it a special day for all!!
