Wishing to Embrace.....

Today is the day I (sometimes) post pics of me and the kiddos, or Jas and the kiddos, but not today!  I don't have a single new picture of one of us with the kids.  How did this happen?  When did taking pictures become so difficult.  I think I have 2.5 million pictures of Isabelle, and then like 100K of Molly and like 2 of Lawson.  Holy Toledo!  How pathetic is that?  Lawson and Molly might be scarred for life after they realize there are no pictures of them as babies.  Taking more pictures should have been on my goal list.  Come to think of it, I don't even remember what was on my list......uh oh.  Sleep deprivation is beginning to take a toll.

In other news, Lawson is two weeks old today.  We had to take sweet Isabelle to the Dr. (she is a little under the weather today) and we went ahead and had them weigh Lawson to try and avoid returning to the doctor AGAIN tomorrow....and WHOO HOO!!!!  he is back to his birth weight.  I was sooooo relieved.  I said, "Praise Jesus" really loud which may or may not have scared the nurse, but I didn't care.  And just in case you were wondering, Belle just has a cold.  Thankfully.  That means we don't have to cancel surgery on Tuesday.

Speaking of surgery....when we go in they give Isabelle what they refer to as "goofy juice."  It is basically valium for kids to make them relaxed enough to go back to the O.R. without their parents.  The nurse told me it makes kids a little loopy, like drunk kind of and real silly.  I asked her if perhaps there was something like that for the parents....to make me relaxed enough to let her go back to the room without me.  The nurse laughed.  I was being serious.  She never realized I was not kidding.  Even after I said, "I am not kidding."  Clearly, I am on my own.  Oh, and would it be funny to video Isabelle after the goofy juice and put it on my blog (or maybe not), but show it to friends and family????  Or is that like the worst parenting decision ever?  I can't decide....again I am sleep deprived.  So if you think I am horrible for suggesting that...just remember I only slept in 1.5 hr increments last night. 

Well, obviously I am rambling.  I should go take a nap now.  All the kids are asleep and I am blogging...what the what?  Toodles!

  1. LOL! Glad that your little man got back to his birth weight and that little Belle just has a cold. I wish they would have given Bella some of that goofy juice - I had to carry her and hold her down.....not fun :(

  4. I think if it's funny and not toooooo horrible then go for it. Yay for Lawson, boo hiss for Belle. I hear you on not wanting to let her go back on her own. It was very difficult for us when we had to with Roxy. NOT FUN.
