Haircut

I didn't think we'd be cutting Lily's hair for a long long time. It's still fairly short and thin. However, her hair in the back was longer and quite un-even. It ended up looking like a rat tail most of the time and I am just not a fan of rat tails. I took the cutting scissors into my own hands and cut off the tail. I was a bit sad to be cutting length, but I think it will grow out a little more evenly. Then when her hair really is long, we'll go for a professional cut as I am just not a hair stylist.

No more tail!

Still long enough for pig tails

Tonight is Jack's overnight pulse ox test. I just know this time he will pass and we'll get off this stupid oxygen!!

Oxygen Days

The kids...

Today we went to the doctor's office for Jack's 2 month appointment. According to the Doctor, Jack didn't pass his night time pulse ox test last Thursday and needs to stay on oxygen at night. Yesterday, the nurse told me he'd have to be all full time, so this was good news. This Thursday he will have another night time test. We plan to stay up with him to ensure the little machine is working correctly. We have a sneaky suspicion that he didn't pass due to the machine flaking out on us quite a bit. We are going to keep a journal of the pulse ox numbers and times and when the machine stopped working for us. Here's hoping he is off full time on Friday!

It's been quite nice here in Colorado. David took Lily to the park for awhile and she enjoyed the swings. Those are her most favorite! Now that Jack is off O2 during the day, I may see if we can get out a little bit later this week. Perhaps a run to the closest Starbucks is in order!? I can get myself a mocha or latte and Lily can enjoy a steamed cow or hot cocoa. As much as Jack would love a coffee, he's still just on mama milk :)

This last month

February has been quite a month for us! We all got a cold, Jack was in the hospital, my sister came into town, and David and I went on a date!

Update on Jack: We are awaiting Jack's pulse ox test results from his over night test. He appeared to be above 90 all night, but we should find out more tomorrow. He was off his oxygen all day today and looks great. So nice to have my healthy boy back!

Before date night
We saw the movie: He's Just Not That Into You. Cute movie!

Sister Bonnie! (Isn't she so pretty!?)

Tales from an 8th grade nothing

Facebook is a great thing. I have found so many people from my past there. I went to St. Lawrence Catholic school in Indianapolis for most of grade school and never really thought I'd see these people again after moving onto public high school. One of my classmates from St. Lawrence, Shannon posted our 8th grade graduation picture on her Facebook account. I'm in the front row all the way to the left with the big hair (Hey, it was the 80s), peach dress and very un-lady like pose.

Sister

As I mentioned before, my sister Bonnie and her hubby Mark are in town for a few days. I absolutely love having them here. I get to reconnect with my sister, and it's so nice having the extra hands to help out with the kids. They are treating us tonight. They are watching the kids so David and I can go on a date. This concept of a date is quite foreign to us. The only time we go out alone is if we hunt down a babysitter and pay them a crazy rate to be alone for a couple of hours. What happened to 2 bucks an hour? Oh well! Thanks Bonnie and Mark! You rock!!!
