Sunday
Today Isabella went to church for the first time, she looked so pretty. Then, we all went to eat at Texas Road House…she never made a peep. We got to load her in the car while Casey takes Kylie top the restroom. Somehow…someone hit the lock button as they backed out of the “front” as she was getting loaded in the back….the car was running and the air on. Now, oh boy….let me just say….it’s a good thing Papa was not there because a window would be missing in that car. Bart, CJ and I were like who do we need to call. I asked, do the police come for situations like this? They used to have the tools for such! No, don’t think so. CJ called Ace lock and key and I decided to call my (brother) Rocky. I can not tell you how many times he has unlocked my car for me!!!! (Ace lock and key said it would take 20 minutes)….in the mean time Casey comes out. Do what??? Yep, its true…but she is asleep and not crying and it is cranked and the air is on…all though it does not work real well. I told her that Uncle Rocky was on the way!!! When I told Rocky….he said…I will be their in 10 minutes!!!
We checked under the car, because WB (since living with me) has learned to keep a spare close by! We found that magnet, but no key in it! Oh well, I loaded Kylie up in my car and put a movie in for her….she was good! It took about 10 minutes for Rocky to get it open, but he did….once again!!!
He is simply the best and I love him dearly. He will do anything for anyone, a heart of gold! Yep, I think it is time to cook him a steak…or take him and Robbie out to eat!!!
And oh, btw (by the way) their car ran hot on the way home!!!
Grandma…btw stands for …..by the way! LOL----means laugh out loud!!! LOL!!!!!!
Basically, an all nighter!
Casey and her family spent the night last night so I could help her with Izzie. Casey was so tired, I told her I would take her for the night if they wanted to stay at our house. Well, the poor thing is just not comfortable. She will relax for 15 to 30 minutes at a time before she starts squirming and then she will burp or toot! She scared me twice last night..she got choked on her milk and sounded like she could not get any air….this is when she is trying to get up the junk from the reflux. All the patting and rubbing on her back does not really help. I even tried to suction her, but there was nothing their. Now, how are you supposed to rest and let her sleep by herself with all this going on??? Not!!! I gave her a bath, she sat in her swing for about 30 minutes. I put her in the pack and play, she stayed there about 30 minutes. I put her in her car seat in our bed…that was not happening, but it was time to feed her again! We rocked for a while. Then, we got on the couch and I propped her on a big pillow and we slept there for a while. At 7:00 I got her Mom up and I went to bed and slept until about 11:45. Kylie came in more than once to try and wake me, Cole and WB were in and out….I got up and slammed the bedroom door at one time…LOL….I did….I could not help it…..sleep deprivation, that is what I will blame it on! And that’s my story and it is the truth!!!
Casey was very thankful and that makes it all worth it. She said that Izzie woke up only once last night….lets hope the zantac is working!!! And the gas drops!!!
2 week check-up
Our little Isabella went for her 2 week check-up today. She weighed in at 8-6. Still 21 inches long and now her head is 14 in. She has really had us worried at times. When she eats, it is like she gets choked and makes this raspy sound. When she spits up it even has a thickness to it. They took her to YPAC one night and they did not hear her sucking her bottle, listened to her and said she sounded good. Now, look people….we have had many other babies at our house and ain’t none of em sounded quiet like this!!! I just knew something was not quite right. They did change her milk earlier because of her tummy and she seems worse. SO TODAY….DR. Shuck walked in the room when Mom was feeding her and he did not like what he heard. WEll, duh all you other doctors…..she has acid reflux! Poor thing! We were all very close to calling our old Dr. MeGow back to let her have a look, I love her so much! So changing formula again and giving her zantac……I hope this works! Say a little prayer for this to handle her problems, and oh we hope this is why she is acts like she is not comfy and the rest is not colic!!!
My First “Pay” for Photography
Yes, believe me when I say it was a small shoot. This young lady really did not want maternity pictures taken, but her Mom wanted her to have some. So we kind of did a family shoot. I told her that 25 years from now she would look back and be glad that she had a few for her child to see. They were so sweet and kind and it really helped me learn things that I can improve on. Thanks Sayward for being brave enough to call and allow me to assist you! They turned out so sweet, you are a kind and pretty young lady. Hope you have a safe delivery! I am going to post one of the pictures I took. Ok…Ok, I had to do three!
Busy Thursday!!!
This has been a very busy week at the Stephenson’s residence. First of all, a newborn and a toddler in preschool….need I say anything else? Sleepless nights, school by 7:50!!! Oh boy, make the bed, wash the bottles-sterilize the bottles, fill the bottles, feed the baby, change the diapers, wash some clothes, sweep the floor…..rock the baby, get the 4 year old from school, visitors coming…call Cayla---call Great-Grandma Bridges…cook some supper, wash the dishes, wash the toddler, wash the baby, wash some clothes..LOL
Great-Grandma Blanton came to visit Isabella today
Then the Great Aunts came and brought supper and showered the new baby!
They did not forget little Kylie and she was so excited.
They brought Isabella this caterpillar with gift cards attached to every leg, one from each person in the family, how sweet! And the supper was nice too!
Sara came by to visit.
Career Day
Yesterday Great Grandma picked Ky up once again. Casey was hurting in her back and I did not want to leave her there with the baby alone. Kylie comes in and takes a strip of paper off her book bag.
Mom, caweer day tomorrow, she said. I want to be a teacher.
Mom asked, well what kind of teacher? A recess teacher? First she wanted to, then she said no…one that learns kids!
I finally got her to go in and pick out something to wear. A dress and jewelry were great ideas and we have that! This is what she picked, but it had to be something no one else had seen before!
Check out the eyes and bunny got a ballerina dress!
