What I want to know is if there is a "frequent patient" program for Emergency Rooms, you know kind of like a frequent flier deal. Last night was the second time we have visited the ER for stitches since Jillian was born. First, Josh cut his hand in the shop when Jilly was 4 days old. Then last night, Ryan tripped while he was running around the family room and slammed his forehead into the bookcase. He split his head open, front and center, but luckily right at the hairline. So we headed back to the ER and the same doctor that stiched up Josh, stitched Ryan's head back together. I hope that the scars don't show! They cut his hair off in order to stitch him up so I think it should grow right back over. I am just thanking my lucky stars that my own recovery from childbirth has been so easy. If I'd had to have a c-section, I don't think I'd have been able to handle the stress. As it is, I can attest to the fact that it causes mothers physical pain when their little ones are hurting.
On the happier side, I have some new pictures of the baby to post. I love this one of Alex and Jillian. He is just the perfect age to have a new baby arrive. He's so tender and gentle with her. Ryan is still mostly ignoring her, but at least there is no animosity for the little one who has rocked his pedestal.
Alex is back in school. It seems surreal that my son is in Second Grade. Somehow I didn't think I was that old. Jillian is starting to sleep longer stretches. She can go for up to five hours now at night without thinking that she's starving to death. Consequently, I am a little less of a zombie and I am now starting to dig my house out of three weeks of neglect. Luckily I have a deadline approaching...Josh's parents will be here to visit on Wednesday, so it is definitely time to scrub those potties! As long as there are no more visits to the ER on the horizon I think I can make it.

She is SO CUTE. Cheryl. The picture of Alex and Jilly is great!!!!
I can't believe you had to go to ER 2 times!! Crazy! Poor Ryan...I'm sure he wont have any visible scarring..but that's what makes boys boys, right?!!! Little Jillian is beautiful--I love the picture of her and Ryan!! SO cute!! Don't worry about the book list--I haven't even made it over to the library to regsester--but I'm glad you've thought about it--I am excited to read lots of cool books!! hope you're getting to watch the Olympics, too!!!
Oh, those pictures of Jillian are so adorable. She has the cutest lips ever! Sorry about the ER visits. That is NOT fun! But, scars for boys are cool. I am sure that Ryan will be able to tell all his friends (and future children) about how tough he was when he got that "war wound". Love that pic of Alex and Jillian!
what a SWEET baby!!
First of all, what an adorable baby! I am so happy to see some pics of her...I have been looking for them. Second of all, you are not allowed to feel old until your baby is going to 2nd grade like me...then you can feel like you are not old enough for that to happen just like I do! I'm glad your family survived all the ER visits. So glad to see your little baby. Take care!
Yeah, I found your blog:) Your little baby girl is adorable! She is so perfect, her skin and eyes and everything are so perfect!!!
Sorry to hear about all the ER trips, that's so sad! I agree there totally should be a two for one deal or something! I'm glad to hear that your getting a good 5hrs. before you have to wake up again:) Let me know if you need anything!
So what you are asking for is a punch card for the ER??? I really feel like that is a little morbid?!! Jillian is too much!! So now that she is here what do we need more of??? Bracelets, bows, burp cloths???? There's never enough bling!!! Lastly Sean had the NERVE to tell me that he took the girls to the grocery store the other night and "we just had a blast, I don't know why you prefer grocery shopping without them?" Well husband a)you weren't grocery shopping on your quest for soda
b) sources have now confirmed that you purchased everything that the 2 year old asked for and more...................OFCOURSE you had a blast!!!!!
She is do Beautiful...Conrats! Hope that you guys are all doing well.
What a sweet baby! I am sorry about all of your trips to the ER. I hope that everyone is feeling better!
What a perfect baby. I sincerely thought that Ryan was staring at a doll for a split second. I will second your words about feeling genuiune sympathy pain for your little ones. Gald things are going nicely now!
Gald...Glad
you know what I mean.
Hey, I just have to say thanks for all the "girl" thoughts you sent my way. I worked on eating lots of chocolate like you said and apparently it worked! We are having a little girl too!! We are shocked but sooo excited! See you soon.
So sorry about all the ER visits--and with a new baby! I hope everyone is feeling better. And that little Jilly is just perfect. What a sweetheart!
