Sewing

Well...I FINALLY finished my first 3 sewing projects.... I actually did a pretty good job considering it was my first time EVER to sew....others may think not....It wasn't really hard to do, just time consuming since I have 2 little ones at home needing my attention. It took a while to do, but I finally finished them... I am very proud of myself if I may say so myself.

HALF A YEAR


Carley is 6 months!! WOW....it has gone by incredibly fast. She is an extremely happy baby(as I write this, she is in her swing crying b/c no one is talking to her) so I guess I better say that about 99% of the time she is very happy. She absolutely LOVES her big sister. Every time Tegan comes in the same room that Carley is in, little Carley's face just lights up with the biggest grin and a bit of excitement comes from her voice. She continues to brighten our lives each day.
She currently weighs in at :
18 lbs 10 ounces (95-97%)
and her height is:
26 1/2"
(75%).
She is our
"Chunky Monkey",

"Chunky Cheese",

"Chunkster",

and her daddy's "beautimos".
She just cut her first tooth TODAY!!! She rolls both ways(since 4 months), she can scoot, she babbles and squeals, and laughs ALL THE TIME. She loves her fingers and now her toes. She is our smiley girl and we absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this little girl.

EIGHT LEGS!!!!


Yesterday, I walked to our bedroom and thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye, but I went on to our bedroom...when I walked back down the hallway I saw it again!! and I SCREAMED!!!!! it was a BIG, NASTY, UGLY, BROWN, SPIDER, in our kitchen. I grabbed the camera to take a picture of it, then I SMASHED him. I threw the paper towel away that I smashed him with, and then my little Tegan said , and I quote: "Mommy, a yucky spider" to which I reply, "yes, dear, that was a yucky spider"..she said ,"MOMMY!! A YUCKY SPIDER!!" I said there isn't another yucky spider, she said uh huh on the carpet.... so I walked into the living room and sure enough another spider....but this one was small and black, but still yucky. Luckily, the pest control guy was coming yesterday....so I called our main office and thank goodness he hadn't come yet, so he was able to come spray!!! hopefully we don't have anymore spiders for a looong time.

Tegan's Lip

As you all know or have seen in the pictures....Tegan has a Strawberry Hemangioma on her lip. She was born with this. It is a collection of blood vessels. It is not painful to her...unless of course she busts it open. We have gone to a couple of plastic surgeons now and have made a decision to have it removed now instead of later. They say that the hemangioma MAY go away on its own, but it could take 10 years....you never know. We don't want her to have to go to school with this on her lip, so we are having it removed. The plastic surgeon here in Atlanta said he would have removed it when she was about 2 months old because from 2 months to 3 months old the hemangioma grew over her lip line. He said if he would have removed it before it went over the lip line, it would have been an easier removal...not saying he can't do it this way...it just may be a little harder to get her bottom lip line straight. He will be removing it by laser to start with. We will go 3 different times within 3 months. We start next Thursday, March 19. She will have to have some anesthesia, so we are nervous about her having to go through this, but know it will be better in the long run. We will go every 3rd Thursday until May 21. If after the May 21 treatment, it's not gone, then we will schedule another treatment. The doctor said we can do up to 6 treatments, if after the 6th one it's still not all the way gone then they may have to cut the rest out. We're excited and nervous for her at the same time. She doesn't know what's going on, yet....we're going to talk with her to help her understand a little. Just wanted to inform you all with what will be happening and ask that you all pray for her that she won't be scared or in pain after treatment is done.
