Little Sickie

Henley can't seem to catch a break in the wellness department! After a night of almost no sleep, I took her to the dr today. She has an ear infection...after just having a double one 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping that one of her ears never healed and that it's not a new one. Corby and I are also hoping for more sleep tonight! Even when she's sick, she's still so sweet. And I'm not ready for the warm weather but I am ready for the girls to be healthier!

Happy Valentine's day!

Our sweet girls had such a fun day! I helped with harper's class in the afternoon, while they ate ice cream sundaes. Henley had fun being held by Harper's teachers too!

We also continued our v-day dinner tradition of eating at Purple Cow....calories don't count on holidays, right?

It's about time...

Yay for a new blog look! I figured since the header picture was of Harper at 3 months, it should be updated a bit! Thanks to my awesome sister-in-law for doing it for me!!! She's the best!

The Hen is 3 months old!

Henny Penny... you are 3 months old!!! 

Here is what your life looks like right now...

-You weigh 10 pounds

-You wear 0-3 clothes and still fit in a few newborn pajamas

-You recently moved to size 1 diapers...but they cover half of your torso! :) 

-You sleep like a champ! 8pm-7am...with usually one wake up. I rarely get up and feed you because you quickly fall back asleep. You nap great too! You are usually awake for an hour or so after eating, and then you go back down for usually 2 hours. 

-When you're awake, you are SO happy! You love your playmat and will bat at your hippo for hours! 

-You have the sweetest smile! And you are very quick to give it out! 

-You eat very well... 5 times a day, drinking 5-6 ounces at a time. We are determined to make sure you are in the right percentile at your 4 month check-up! 

-You do spit up a lot, but you did that when you were not getting enough milk too... so I'm suspecting that it's reflux and not overeating, like her doctor suggested at the 2 month appt. 

-You survived your first illness, the flu! I knew I'd pass it on, but I had hoped it wouldn't go to Henley. Thankfully, it wasn't very bad at all, for either of us. She only had fever for a day and a half, and her congestion never settled in her chest. She didn't eat nearly as much, but she ate enough to keep us out of the hospital. She didn't take her medicine very well...kind of became a game each time I had to give it to her. 

-Some of her nicknames are "the hen", "henny penny", and of course, the very popular, "mrs skinny legs"

-She still has blue eyes and fairly light hair (if we can call it that!)

-Your sister is still pretty obsessed with you, and the feeling is mutual! You will stare at her for hours! 

We love you, Henley!!! You are such a sweet addition to our family! 

I need a sick day...

Well, I am a victim of the fact that the flu shot is only 60% effective. Such a bummer! I thought it was just a cold but decided to call my doctor when I had a fever this afternoon. Thankfully the flu test results came back quickly because it gets hot wearing that mask! I do feel terrible but I'm hopeful that the medicine will kick in soon. It's also a bummer because Harper's school has asked that if anyone in the family has the flu, that you keep your kids home. I completely understand but tomorrow would be a nice day to just have to take care of one child! It's a shame moms don't get sick days.

Happy girl!

Ever since we figured out that Henley was just hungry...this is the face we usually see:















Life is much happier now!!!

Henley's Newborn Pictures

We had Henley's newborn photos about a week after she was born. She wasn't very cooperative until the very end... so her session took almost 6 hours. Our photographer, Rachel DeBell, is AMAZING. She was so unbelievably patient with our sweet girl who was not so sleepy. I highly recommend her, if you're in the Dallas area. I'm pretty obsessed with all of the pictures of the girls. Obviously, one week after having a baby, I'm not too fond of the way I look... but that's expected! Here are some of my favorites!
