A mother's day present a day later times 2!!!

Well my little miracle girl went Pee Pee on the potty for the first time today!!! Oh we did the pee pee happy dance of joy! She was so proud of herself! I posted this picture of her so that those of you following can see her scar. If you can...lol...it's faded so much. She was a RCDH



Daddy and the older two.

Daddy showing Kristen how to make the dirt bike go! Man, she can't even touch the foot break, she's too short!!

And my other present, Courtney decided to stand up in the middle of the room today. She was so proud of herself, and kept doing it over and over. She even moved one foot in an attempt to walk. Oi, I'm in trouble now!!

A very special day

Three years ago today I recieved the best birthday present ever. It is something that I will NEVER forget!!! I got to take my miracle CDH baby home! The wonderful H word that we all love to hear. The day before when they were doing rounds, the Dr's said that they had made arrangements to move Kristen. I said home??!! They said no to Surrey Memorial. And I again told them no, home. I can take care of her. They said are you sure. I told them to talk to the nurses. I would be fine. They told me that they would make the arrangements for the next couple of days, and I again said no. It was my birthday tomorrow, and I will take her home. And sure enough they made things happen, and I did!! I will never forget my birthday, and not because of another year older...that's not a big deal...but because I was able to complete my family and bring my baby home!!

The Dentist!

I took the kids to the dentist yesterday! Yep all three at once! Getter done...lol. And the kids have all gained weight!! Joe was finally 40 lbs, Kristen gained too...26 lbs, and Courtney bringing up the rear at 19 lbs. No cavities, just another visit in six months!

Letter's for CDH

For those of you who maybe follow my blog, but I don't have as a friend on Facebook, I thought that I'd share this link with you. http://lettersforcdh.blogspot.com/ Another CDH mom has been organizing a mass mailing/emailing idea for us all to send/type our letter's on the same day. We are trying to get national, continental, and world wide awareness of this awful birth defect. Maybe we can hit someone with deep pockets who can help our treck in finding a 'cure' or at least bringing the survival from 50/50 up to much better odds.

Joe's new bed

We got Joe a new loft bed today! Well second hand from Craigslist new, but it's new to us! He's actually sleeping in his own room in his bed since the tent trailer has been up. That's been 17 nites that he's been out there...lol. I'll have to post pic's later as he went straight to sleep in it tonite. It was 8:30pm by the time we finished, so he was beat!

This Cannot be comfy!

I noticed that it was a little bit quiet in regards to Courtney! Usually we can hear her babbling away, or screeching!

This is what I found, beside her bed!

How is this comfortable??!!

I did scrape her off the floor and put her IN her bed! I guess her reading of Playful Puppies wasn't all that exciting!

Well it's about time the sun shone!

It is so beautiful today! We met up with Jolene at the park with her kids, and I had trouble dealing with the heat! But it was fun none the less. I used Kristen's FM system with her at the park. It was a little bit sad for me to watch her spin in circles looking for where my voice was coming from. But at least when there was distance I could still tell her, no!

We came home, and I set up the puddle pool. The girls loved it! Until one of them pooped in it and that just cut into everyone's fun!...lmao!
