Our New Baby

I just wanted to post these videos because Jessica has came so far since she has switched to Elecare (super hypoallergenic formula). She is such a fun baby to be around now, even though she is stuck to me like velcro! :) It's hard for me to watch the video of her before because it brings back a lot of memories of how miserable she was, and how much pain she was in. She has came a long way in the past 3 weeks, it's truly amazing what feeling good can do for a person.

Poor Hannah

We aren't sure what is going on with Hannah. She has been complaining of belly aches for about the past month now, almost every day. She wakes up 2-3 times at night crying that her belly hurts. Well, now in the past week, she has started puking in the middle of the night. :( We can't figure out what it might be. Her diet hasn't changed and neither has anything else that we can think of. She has always been a bad sleeper waking frequently, and maybe she has always had stomach pain and is just now able to tell us. But the puking thing is new. She isn't running a fever and has been perfectly fine during the day other than not really wanting to eat much this past week. Looks like we may be making a trip to the doctor in the near future. :(

Aunt Abby is hired!

Aunt Abby babysat the girls for me today while I went to my dentist appointment. The whole time I was away, I figured she was most likely being tortured by Jessi screaming. Was I wrong! She said Jessi cried for 10-15 minutes, then she went to sleep! She ended up sleeping for 3 hours in her new bouncy chair! She usually only catnaps through the day for 30 minutes at the most! I think this new chair is going to be her new bed!

And, the biggest, happiest baby in the world....Cousin Cash!

Proud Mama

I am one proud mama. Jessi sat by herself for 12 seconds today! She also discovered toys this week and reaches for them and grabs them. She is getting quite strong now that she is feeling good!

And now for my Hannah brag....she has been peeing on the potty the past few days! Go Hannah! She even went on her own this morning without me reminding her...she met me in the hall with her potty with pee in it!


Our girls are growing up quickly!

Hooray!

Today I got some wonderful news! Apria called to tell me that UPS would be delivering 2 cases of Elecare...today! This is the formula that Jessica is on now...and finally tolerating. Our insurance is apparently going to cover it at 100%...I almost had a heart attack! They are sending us 2 cases a month which should be plenty, and if we were paying out of pocket it would cost $420 a month! This is truly a blessing to us!

The girls are doing well, Jessica is smiling much more and laughing quite a bit. She is really becoming quite fond of her daddy and enjoying spending time with him each evening. She is still quite a little cling-on during the day though and doesn't want to be far from mommy ever! Hannah's my little helper and and AWESOME big sister. She is so loving to Jessi, it is so sweet.

And, a proud moment for Hannah...she peed on the potty tonight! Second time this week! Keep up the work Hannah!

New to blogging

I decided to create a blog...this is new to me! Bear with me as I get used to this, I will try to keep up to date on the girls on here!
