Well, we survived a trip to Cabot with little britches with us! She slept the entire way down and the entire way back! I love that she rides in a car bed. It's so much more comfortable and just as safe as a regular car seat. And, she can be in it up to 21 lbs!
We got to Cabot around 5 Thursday evening. We didn't do much... unload the car! :) Then, Friday we had to be at the auditorium at 8:30 for dress rehearsal. That lasted until around noon when we left and went back to my MIL's house to grab a bite for lunch. I actually got Baylee to take a nap and had to wake her up to get ready. She did such a wonderful job in the recital. She was so excited and the video is hilarious! She was kind of doing her own thing during her tap and ballet numbers. I will have to try to figure out how to download it so you guys can see it! My MIL was standing off the side of the stage behind the curtain doing the dance so they would kind of watch and remember and all of a sudden Baylee turns to her and says, "What"? It was so funny!
Saturday Blair slept most of the day and we swam most of the day. I got burned and Baylee FINALLY got off the steps and actually swam. She had her floaties on, but I guess she didn't trust them. I finally showed her that she could touch (in the shallow end) on her tip toes. She loved that and had to show everyone the rest of the day! We went to Britt's brother's house that night to hang out for a couple of hours. We left Blair with my MIL since she hadn't got to spend a whole lot of time with her. She did good and we were right next door in case she needed something.
Sunday we had Sunday lunch and my MIL and FIL had to go to Marianna to help Granny and Granddaddy move some furniture. They sold their house in town there and needed to move all of the stuff to their farm house right outside of town. Then, they also have a house in Cabot. So, it will be one less house to maintain. After all, Granddaddy is 81 and doesn't need to be doing as much. He also has a peach orchard at the farm so that takes up most of his time during the Summer. Sunday night we bbq'd at Britt's brother's house and took Blair with us. She had a good time until she got gassy that evening. I stopped putting formula in her bottles to see if that will help and I also bought some gripe water. I tried finding the colic tablets that melt in their mouth, but our Walgreen's stopped carrying them! UGH! So, we will see how she is in a couple of days.
We got home yesterday around 4:30 and I'm exhausted! I didn't got to bed until after midnight and I got up at 5:30 this morning to finish some stuff up around the house. I guess I will find some time today to clean my house. I need to tackle my floors. I actually cleaned my bathroom while Baylee was taking a bath last night! That was a big help!
I will post new pics as I get them downloaded.

Omphalocele and PPH/RVH
This page is for Baylee and Blair. Blair was born with a Giant Omphalocele on April 7th, 2008. She spent 7 weeks in the NICU at AR Children's. Amazed by the Dr's she came home at the end of May only on a little bit of O2 and no other medications. She was also diagnosed with a 3mm VSD of her heart. That has since CLOSED COMPLETELY and will not require surgery. Recently we found out that she was born with her heart on the right side of her chest. She had surgery on Aug. 20th without expanders. The Dr's were able to do a closure surgery with a bit of alloderm pulling the muscles together. We will be in St. Louis for a few weeks while she recovers.
Baylee is an energetic 4 year old. She loves swimming, her babydolls, playing outside and most of all her little Sissy! She is our little princess and we have been amazed at how well she has reacted to her little Sissy. She is WONDERFUL to her little sissy and loves her so much!
She was diagnosed on April 13th with a Right Ventricular Hypertrophy due to Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. In July we traveled to Boston to see a Hypertension Specialist. I LOVE this Dr! She is wonderful and answered all of my questions. She will have another Heart Cath on Dec. 1st to check the pressures in her heart again. She is now sleeping with a bit of oxygen just as a precautionary.
I hope that everyone enjoy's reading about our lives and if you learn something in the process that's even better!

I'm so glad everything went well for your first big outing.
I remember when M was about Baylee's age....we laughed so hard at her ballet recital I thought my sister was going to hyperventilate. They are just the cutest.
