• Good morning

  
  

  Its beautiful and cold outside.  I'm thinking of heading over to my moms with munchkins in tow to visit my aunt whose visiting their.  But we will see.

  
  

  I woke up in a GOOD mood which is a gift from God.  Cause Rainee had a very very bad night.  *sigh* 

  
  

  Her oxygen sats kept dropping down down down every time she fell asleep.  She was down to 87 at one point.  The good news was everytime we woke her she perked back up between 93-97 which was just fine.  But we had to get up and wake her which of course makes for lack of sleep.    So then we realized she was sleeping on her stomache.  She has NEVER slept on her stomache because she quite literally can't breathe due to her birth defects.    But for some reason she has decided she should flip over and try.  Well then she started waking herself up because of not breathing, and we'd get up roll her over she'd scream, I'd nurse her, and then lay her down, and fifteen minutes later we'd start this whole routine over again. 

  
  

  I even tried propping stuffies/pillows around her so she couldn't roll and NOPE it didn't work.   And we can't just leave her on her stomache screaming 'cause her stats would drop.  Sooooooo it was intresting.  Do ya think sleep is allowed in this house. 

  
  

  In regards to the Princess~~she slept in her OWN Bed ALL night long for the first night since we got home from the hospital

  
  

  WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

  
  

  Okay got that out of my system.  snicker.

  
  

  However HD decided that well ummm he should sleep in mom & dad's bed instead.  He had a nightmare at 4:00, and was quite shook up about it, so in he went.   

  
  

  BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA  what can one do, but laugh.  I did the crying/freaking out yesterday. 

  
  

  I told Dr. W yesterday that Princess' breathing episodes were the straw that broke the camels back.  And he said,  oh really,  I would have thought that happened several months ago.   

  
  

  I must laugh, because if I don't I will cry.

  
  

  If I were to list all the disasters, scarey things that happened this year, I think I'd be locked up in a straight jacket.

  
  

  So instead I will focus on the fact that Rainee bug who has really struggled with anything of texture ate 10 baby bites of chicken (none-puried)  she even put it her  mouth by herself and swallowed, and put more in.  We were all in shock as we watched.  It was a MAJOR first.    YEAH!!!  she might start gaining weight  

  
  

  I will focus on the fact that Mari has started DEMANDING mommys hugs and kisses, and snuggles.  A year ago that would have been impossible for him to do.

  
  

  I will focus on the fact that HD hasn't finger painted or destroyed anything since Christmas time.  It must be some kinda record all in of itself.

  
  

  I will focus on Midge's Smiles, and snuggles.   I was trying to suggest to her the other day that milk was all gone.  (desperate desire to wean her )  She looked at me like, un huh sure mommy.  So Princess whispered something in Midge's ear, and then Midge says with great big smiles "Milk not all gone Milk in breast!"  ROFL!  

  
  

  I will focus on the fact that Rainee is scooting all over the house, and doing so well.  She hasn't had a single rescue treatment in like 5 days. 

  
  

  God is good, All the time.  All the time.  God is good. 

  
  

  I'm trading my sorrows,  I'm trading my shame.  I'm laying them down to the joy of my Lord.  (song thats stuck in my head, and I'm missing some of the words.  )
