Our first ER visit

Serena smashed her thumb in a heavy oak cabnet...it was awful to see her thumb stuck and me having to come open it to get her thumb out. There was lots of blood! We took her to a local ER where she needed 9 stitches in her little thumb. It was so sad! The worst part of all this is trying to keep a bandage on to keep it clean. We wrap it for meals, only take sponge baths, no swimming or gymnastics for a few weeks, it just sucks!! And Sean and I go in tomorrow to the hospital for me to have a C-section. Our poor little baby and her owie!! Bleeding through already.This was the first dressing change, since then it has turned much more purple.

I'm pretty sure she is going to loose this nail.

MIssing Papa

Sean had to go away last weekend for a confrence in Orlando. Serena was missing her Papa so she got his coat off the rack and was carring it around.

Cooking with mom

I started by just giving her pudding to mix up, but she kept eating it with her hands. SO, I gave her whole oats with water and let her mix it then play with it...she had so much fun. The mess wasn't that bad, plus I was able to get dinner cooked and she was entertained.
