We are alive and well!

Well here she is... we have been a bit busy with a sick little Bear. He has been running really bad fever and is trying so hard to stay away from this little bundle of bows and pink!



She is so absolutely amazing and we are enjoying her presence in our family!




Life with 3 under the age of 2 is interesting. It is not as hard as I thought it would be. The TRYING thing is one little boy that wants to be independent but cannot comprehend all the things that independent little boys do. Moe baby is pushing every one of my buttons to see what he can and cannot get away with. He used to do this when he was sick or teething. I have been changing some pretty bad diapers and... ahem... sheets from him. So it could be that OR it could be that he is getting older and is getting more and more confused and starting to lash out at us. We LOVE HIM and are dealing but it is getting really rough. ON ALL OF US! This week we should be seeing a transition schedule. It is going to be good for him that he can now know "stability" and will know that he lives with his daddy. I will keep you posted.

In the mean time we are getting little Miley Bird on her schedule and she is doing great. With the boys we were on a 3 hour schedule... with Bird we are on a 2 hour schedule b.c she eats so little and it is very different. YES just an hour is a HUGE difference!

Bear has been trying to play catch with her. He brings her books and balls hoping that she will do something other than lay there! He is so enthralled with her and is always looking for "Miley" (he can even say her name and calls for her). So sweet and always looking to do for her. She loses her paci, he is there trying to put it in... he sees a bottle and says her name and points to her. If he finds a bottle low enough he will try and feed her. He just grins from ear to ear when he sees her! I love seeing them together!






So here she is... I have been having ever too much fun with her beautiful hair and mixing and matching fun outfits for her. This is way more fun than I could have ever imagined! hehe

Blog friendly!!! "Miley"



Today we ventured out into the great wide open. We had a visit for Moe's dad and decided to go to the museum. My niece Jessica is still with me and so she helped with Bear a lot. He was feeling a little under the weather I think so it was kind of dramatic at some points but all in all it was smooth sailing.

Unloading children: I took out the wagon from the trunk of our camry and then put Bear in first. Then put Moe in; strapped them both in. Then I put "Miley" in the Moby that I had put on before I left the house. Easy, Cheesy, nice and peasy!

She is getting the schedule down pretty well! Eat; up for an hour or so and then down to sleep. She fusses for a minute or two and then she's conked out. It is getting less and less time between laying down and falling asleep. I just swaddle her and put her in her cradle she is getting great at getting herself to sleep now. Ahhh I love Babywise :).

We are doing great. It is complicated with visits and all but other than that it is good! Thanks for your prayers!!!

"Miley"

She is a tiny little miracle and we are so pleased to be her family for this season of her life! She is very petite and so very tiny. She cannot weigh more than 5.5 or 6 lbs. She is in Preemie clothing and has already melted our hearts! Her little name is discreet but we will call her Miley for sake of keeping peace.

We do not know much (weight, height, middle name... etc) of anything. We have been hearing this story unfolding more and more and it is kind of all over the place and in the fog! We do know at this point that we will have her for at least 14 days min. That is when court takes place and we will know more.

But as of now she is as precious as you please and so very mild tempered! She took her last bottle at 11P and slept until 4:30 and even then she didn't make a noise hardly. I just happened to be up for a morning trip to the BR and i saw her moving around and heard her little squeak. I figured I would get her up and feed her and change her. I immediately put her back in bed and off to slumber she went. I then couldn't sleep so I went to Wal-Mart while all were still in bed and sleeping. I got some supplies that we needed to house this little girl for two weeks. And back home I returned to an awaiting two boys (7A) that greeted me with a "mmmaaaaaawwwwnin'" when I peaked in their room. I got them up and to the restroom (one of them anyway). Then started breakfast and by 8 they were all fed and then time to wake up Miley. woke her up and fed her and then she is down again!

I will work on some blog safe pictures of her and then you will get to see what we are so in love with!

Thaks for all of your prayers and love and support! We are blessed by friends and family!
