Pumpkin Patch here we come!

This morning Adam, Riley, Mama and myself are going to venture out to Schnepfs Farm to go pumpkin hunting. We will take our time to make sure we all find the right one, and to have lots of fun with Riley! She has gotten to more and more fun the more she grows up...she has got the cutest little laugh and the most adorable smile. She is repeating and learning words like crazy...in the past few days she has learned (and knows how to use) the words "Thank you" (ak-oo), "Cheese" (chee!), and "Good Girl" (guh-guh). These combined with her usual "Uh-oh" (uh-uh), Mama (Mama), Dada (Dada or Da-DEE), Tipsy (ti-ti), and Jet Jet (je-je). Both of our girls amaze us daily with ther growth and development.

Speaking of our girls and growing...Bree is going up to 18 cc's of formula this morning. As of tomorrow at this time she will be at a full feeding for her body weight. Exciting stuff! Adam had gotten the day off yesterday and we went down to see Miss Bree. He got to hold her and I got some marvelous pictures! I hope you all enjoy them....

Hope this finds you all happy healthy and in love with life!

Mornin mornin!!

Bree is off her CPAP!! She switched off of it yesterday morning right before I showed up for the day. I got to hold her for a good two hours, and it seemed as if she had the best nap she has had while layin on me. The nurses had gotten me set up in a giant lay-z-boy chair, so I was all laid back and comfy with Bree on my chest. Once she had settled down and was completely zonked out and not moving, I broke out "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to reread. I think I got through 150 pages or so before I had to leave for the day because of a previously made engagement.

She is up to 16 cc's of breastmilk as of this morning...and doing great with it! A full feeding for her is 20 cc's and that is based upon her weight right now. So, as she grows she will get more breastmilk, and soon (hopefully) they will start to let her try the bottle. Exciting stuff!

She is on 30-35% oxygen with her nasal cannula...which I am so glad that she is on the nasal cannula. Adam got the day off of work for finding a 'golden tool' (It's a gold piece of paper with a drawing of a tool on it and if you find it you get a day off). I am really hoping that he'll get to hold her because it has been almost a month since he held her. She has grown a lot since then! Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to share with all of you tomorrow!

Hope this finds you happy, healthy and in love with life!

Good morning!

Bree is doing well this morning...she rested comfortably most of the night last night. She is still having troubles with maintaining her oxygen rate, so I am just guessing here but they might do some tests to make sure she doesn't have any infections brewing or anything of that manner. She did have a bradycardic episode last night (when her heartrate drops low) around 2am. That also makes me worried. She is now a whopping 2 lbs, 8 oz!! As of 8am this morning she will be going up to 14 cc's every three hours for feeds. She is still sitting at 35% oxygen and a pressure of 5 on her CPAP, but other than that we have no other new news!

Riley is playing in her crib right now...I can hear her over the monitor. However, I need to pump before I go get her up. She has learned that when 'Mama is pumping, Mama can't do anything'...yeah, it's real fun! So, in the mornings she stays in bed until I am ready for her to get up.

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 22, 2008

Good afternoon everyone!

Bree has reached two milestones today! One, she now wears clothes...little tiny clothes, but they are cutsie little dresses. Two, she in now well enough that she can be stolen! Most parents would not think that is a milestone, but as you all know we are a bit on the odd side. Actually, she is really well enough she can be stolen, so they have put the "baby lo-jack" onto her right leg. It looks like a little black box strapped to her leg. This contraption causes all doors to lock if she is taken too close to them. It is a great safety device that helps to set our minds at ease just a little bit more.

Mama went with me to the hospital this morning, while our good friend Cheri watched Riley for us. Mama was hoping to be able to hold Bree, but was unable to because Bree had just gotten a bath, and a new bed change. She had already had a lot of movement and change for the day, and was having a hard time keeping her oxygen saturations at a steady rate. We will try again for another day! Bree is up to 12 cc's of breastmilk every three hours and she is doing great with it! She did have to go back on her CPAP yesterday because she was having a hard time breathing and was using too much energy. They are also giving her a drug that will help to draw some extra fluid out of her lungs that they found evidence of yesterday with an x-ray.

We did find out some good information regarding her brain bleeds however. They are at a stage three, but in the report it is noted that the ventricles are only "mildly enlarged". The ventricles being enlarged is what classifies her brain bleeds as a stage three so to hear that they are only mildly enlarged is a relief. It means that she is on the mild end of the spectrum of stage three brain bleeds! Praise God!

I hope this finds everyone, happy, healthy and in love with life!

October 21, 2008

Grow Bree Grow!! She is for sure growing and getting bigger by the day. About every two days she gains one ounce, so as of right now she is 2 lbs, and 4 ounces. Her official length (as of two days ago) is 14 and 1/4 inches long! You go girl! So she has gained almost a whole pound and grown an inch and a quarter in 5 1/2 weeks....

Isn't the picture on here the cutest (and saddest) little cry face ever?? I might be just a slight bit biased, but I sure think so!

Last night, Riley woke up three times! We are not sure if it is teething or growing, but we realized we are out of tylenol for her. (Why does it always happen when you need it!?) Even this morning, she has been crabby and just not herself. She will be fine and happy for a while and then out of nowhere become a fit throwing, toy throwing, crying, screaming child. So, she is down for an early nap this morning. I am hoping that it will change her attitude a bit because we have some errand running and grocery shopping to do...

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 20, 2008

Woo hoo!! As you can see, I got to hold Bree this morning. It is so nice to hold her without the ventilator tubes. Hearing her little squeaks and grunts just melts my heart. It is so great to hear all of her noises, the fact that she can make noise now just reinforces the point of how well she is doing. She is now just on the nasal cannula, and is requiring about 35% oxygen when she is resting comfortably.

She is now up to 8 cc's of breastmilk every three hours, and I got to "feed" her again this morning while I was holding her. I held her for about 1.5 hours, until I had to get up to pump, eat and use the restroom. I wish I could sit and hold her all day long!

Our biggest monster (Riley) has had a super fun morning with her Grandma Gonce. I was informed that she ate a BIG lunch, played peek a boo, sang songs, and even got to play outside!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 19, 2008

Okay, Okay..I am posting this WAY late, but it is still the 19th. We've had a crazy, busy friend filled day today! Bree also had another eventful day...she was switched off of her CPAP today to a regular nasal cannula with humidified oxygen support. This means that she does not have the positive pressure in her airway. Bree is doing it all on her own now! She is breathing a little harder than they would like, but they are keeping a close eye on her. If they think it is taking too much toll on her they will switch her back to the CPAP.

She is a hungry little girl as of lately! They have been uping her feeds one cc every twelve hours, and she is up to seven cc's every three hours. She weighs a hefty 2 lbs, 4 ounces now!

We had a great day with friends....we had church this morning, lunch with Joel and Kristina at Red Robin (mmm..banzai burger!), and then had Jim, Iliyah, and Nathan over for dinner. I learned someting new today too....how to make spanish rice from scratch. It is rather tasty!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life...

October 18, 2008

Good morning everyone!

As you can see, we have a pacifier loving baby on our hands...Riley loved hers as well, so she is already following in her sister's footsteps. The nurses are really impressed with how well that she does with it. It even helps to calm her if she is a little more fidgety than normal. Now I did ask this morning, and it is not for another 3 weeks until she develops the suck, swallow, and breathe reflex. So we are still on the feeding tube for a little bit...

It is so great to see her on the CPAP..however, now we just can't see her nose. Ha ha! We can see her little lips tho, and they are just as beautiful as we expected them to be. The CPAP is less tubes than the ventilator, so in our world, less tubes is a good thing!

As of this morning, she is doing well. She is breathing a little harder than she was, but Patricia said Bree is overdue for a poop. So, she is probably a little 'full' (which can cause pressure on her lungs) and uncomfortable, which could be causing her to breathe a little harder. I never thought I would say this, but let's all pray for Bree to poop! I can imagine that it is so uncomfortable for her...poor little one.

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 17, 2008

Good morning!

Yes, indeed it is a good morning! Bree is still on her CPAP, and last night she had the best blood gas she has had in weeks....wow! Patricia, her night nurse, told us that her blood gas result had everyone jumping around they were so excited that it was so great....it was so good that they have not ordered one for today. They will probably do one in the afternoon just to check, but it is not 'needed'. What a good girl!

She did have a little bit of difficulty last night at one point and Patricia thought they might have to switch her to a different CPAP machine, but she pulled right out of her little funk. I am so ridiculously proud of her!!!!!! I don't think that I could fill this blog with more exclamation points!!! Ha ha....

She's still on the 3cc's of breastmilk every three hours, and there is nothing else that is really new. No news is good news!

In other news (I feel like a news reporter), Riley has recently acquired an obssesion with the computer. This would be okay except for the fact that she wants to "type" when we are typing. This consists of her banging on the keys, which makes it very hard for us to do anything. So, we have started the warning system. The first time we say "No thank you! This is your warning, next time you will get your hand smacked." We then follow through if that happens with "No thank you! Next time it is time out"...then if we need to, she goes into her crib for five minutes. That is where she is now. However, I am not sure if it is working...she alternates between whiny crying and squealing happily....we'll keep trying it to see if it works!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

a BIG step

Miss Bree has had a very eventful day today! (in a good way!) She is now up 3cc's of breastmilk every three hours. I got to 'feed' her today, which consisted of me holding the tube of breastmilk as it drained into her tube, then into her stomach. It woke her right up and made her be a little wiggly worm. After she ate, Courtnee repositioned her and she was an awake little girl! I have never seen her that awake, her eyes were open and alert for a good fifteen minutes.

Her BIG step of today was that they took her off of her ventilator!! As of 3:45 this afternoon there is no more tube down her throat for breathing! Now they have her on a CPAP, which is a device that goes on the outside of her nose which applies continuous positive airway pressure (hence the name...CPAP). Here is a link to a page that explains the CPAP and shows a picture of one: http://www.mtnaneocare.com/Whatrespiratorysupportmightbeneeded.html With the CPAP, she is taking the breaths on her own, it just helps to keep her lungs open and to remind her to breathe.

When I called at 4:30, she was resting comfortable, keeping her oxygen saturation at 90 percent, and breathing at a rate of 60 breaths per minute. We were informed that sometimes babies as small as she is do get tired from all the work of breathing on their own and have to go back on the ventilator. Even if this were to happen, we are both overjoyed that she has shown improvement and a wanting to be off of the ventilator...every little bit of forward advancement is exciting to us.

Bree is thriving, growing, and doing all the right things...and I truly believe that all of the prayers that have been said for her are the reason why. Our God is a big God and a God of miracles! I believe in my heart that he knows what is best for her, and all we can do is to continue to pray for her healing and well being. The rest is in His hands! He will not give us anything we can't handle. We love Bree with all our heart, and we thank all of you for your prayers. They mean more to us than you can ever imagine!

I hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 16, 2008

Good mornin..

Bree is having a bit of a rough morning. She is having a hard time with her oxygen saturations...it's nothing life threatening or harmful yet, but they are drawing blood to make sure she doesn't have an infection anywhere. I love how everyone that is taking care of her always errs on the side of caution. It is easier to catch things early and treat them than to find out when it is too late, or is just much harder to treat. I didn't really get too much other information when I calledthis morning, but I am going in to see her here soon so I will have much more info later today!

At eight thirty, (which is soon!) I am leaving here to take Riley to hang with Ethan for a bit today. Aleasha agreed to watch Riley for me so that I could go see Bree. I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends! It means so much to me to be able to go see Bree...I constantly feel torn between my two girls. I can't imagine what it is going to be like when they are both at home! But, for right now, I am taking things one day at a time. Today is a good day...and I plan on enjoying it as much as possible!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 15, 2008

Once again..no news is good news! Bree has had a very uneventful day and night. She is down to 32 on her rate of the ventilator, and is breathing on her own above the ventilator. She did have to have her intubation tube retaped today, it just helps to keep it stable and in place if they retape it every few days. She is resting comfortably right now because they sedate her for the retaping. Her skin is so sensitive there from the constant retaping.

Riley and I are headed off to our yearly WIC requalification here shortly so this will be a shorter update...I still need to shower and get ready in order to leave at nine! Ah! Nothing like rushing to make the time go faster...

Hope this finds everyone happy healthy and in love with life!

October 14, 2008

Good morning!

Today is my first day alone with Riley in over a month. It feels strangely familiar, but not quite right. I have an urge to go see Bree, but I know I can't with Riley. I could, but I wouldn't be able to touch Bree, hold Bree or do anything like that. So, I will patiently wait until I get a chance to go see her without Riley. Other than my panicky feeling about that, our morning is going great. Riley woke up wet from head to toe this morning so she had a bath ASAP! We had a fun bath time, and we even got her hair washed without crying...big girl!

Later in the morning, Riley and I spread a blanket out on the ground, and played blocks for a good fifteen minutes . The block playing ended when Riley started to throw them at me...wooden blocks hurt! So we picked up the blocks, and got out some books. She now sits on your lap when you are reading to her, and it is so adorable. It is comforting to feel her sitting on you and to be able to smell the Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo her hair was washed with. For me, my grandmother always had Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo at her house, so when I smell that particular smell, I think of her house and the fun bath times I had there when I was small.

Adam took Dad to the airport this morning so we are on our own until Mama flies in on Saturday. The house is oddly quiet right now (Riley is down for her morning nap...score one for me!). Adam stopped by the hospital on the way back and gave me report over the phone on his way to work.

Bree is doing well, not too much has changed. She is now up to 2cc of breast milk every three hours! Woo hoo! The PCVC line that was in her left arm went bad so they had to put a new one in. Her new PCVC is in her leg. She did have to have a blood transfusion last night, however I am not sure what level was low or needed replacing. I will have to ask tonight when I call for an update. So her PCVC is in one leg, and she has an IV in the other foot from which she received her blood transfusion through. They are now trying to avoid putting IV's in her arms since she has proven to them more than once that she can either pull them out or wiggle them out of the vein. She's a very determined little girl!

Carrie Fay and I had a great time yesterday...and we got some Bee--u--ti-full!! photos of Bree. It will be a week or so until she is able to get them back to me because her computer is in the shop getting all fixed up. I was able to hold Bree skin to skin, but only for about fifteen minutes. The nurses were not aware that she was to have her first eye exam so she had to go back in her bed to get eye drops to dilate her eyes. They were checking for ROP (Retinopathy of Prematurity). Here is a link that helps to describe it: http://www.nei.nih.gov/health/rop/ I wasn't able to stay and watch them do the eye exam, but Carrie Fay assured me that it wasn't as bad as they made it sound when they described it to us. Her eye exam went great and the doctor said that obviously her eyes are very immature due to her age, but that there is no sign of ROP. She will have another eye check in two weeks...

It was great to get out of the house yesterday with Carrie Fay. We had some wonderful conversations and it was wonderful to get caught up with all the news of their family! We had a scrumptious lunch at Paradise Bakery and we both made it home before 2 in the afternoon...I miss having 'girl' time. It makes me miss Ashley just a little bit more than the normal...well, I better take advantage of Riley's morning nap and go get all ready for the day!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!

October 13, 2008

Good morning all!

Bree is doing awesome today and dun, dun, dun! She is over the two pound mark! Adam and I have been waiting to hear that for a while now. She's been hovering at the 1 lb 15 oz mark for a while (in true fashion of our family...she's a smart aleck already)...and we are so happy and proud that she is gaining weight and growing! She's doing great with her feeds, and we got to see her be given one yesterday. And yesterday she got to have her first taste of breastmilk. They put a few drops in her mouth and she wiggled around, made a face, and it dripped right out of her mouth. We could then see her sticking her little tongue in and out of her mouth. It was so cute!

This morning, Carrie Fay and I are going to see Miss Bree, and to take her one month photos. The nurse this morning said that I will get to hold her skin to skin too! I am sure Carrie Fay will take some beautiful photos...she always does. I am very excited to have these pictures taken...even though Bree's one month celebration is in a different place, and is a little bit earlier than we were expecting we still want to celebrate it as we celebrated Riley's...Carrie Fay does such beautiful work...here's a picture from Riley's one month shoot. We are going to try and duplicate this one with Bree as best we can...

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 12, 2008

Mornin Mornin Everyone!

Riley is dancing to Imagination Movers, and we are all vegging and resting this morning before church. Bree had a great night and she slept most of the night. The nurse did comment she had a few 'wild' moments. She works herself up and starts flailing her arms and legs. She's such a fiesty little girl, she's too much for her own good. But with some hands-on containment and swaddling, she settles right down. This morning Bree was at 28% oxygen, and they have successfully weaned her off of her morphine.

I have a confession to make...I am thoroughly frustrated with pumping! I know it is best for Bree and I will continue no matter what. I am determined that she is going to get only breast milk for her first year. However, my determination doesn't help with the time it takes, the planning, and the changing of plans. Today we (Adam and I) were planning on going to our children's ministry planning meeting. We will be planning the whole next year of curriculum! I love planning, and I love brainstorming ideas for crafts and games. Everyone is going to have lunch together and it will be great to socialize with everyone.

However, this morning I noticed I am running out of the bottles I have to put my breast milk in. Which means we have to run to the hospital to pick up more...this wouldn't be a problem if I had noticed sooner that I needed more bottles. We were there yesterday and I could have picked up more! Now I only have two bottles left and as of 11 o'clock today I won't have any left, which means I can't go to the meeting. Rrr!

Another frustration I have with it is the time it takes. I have to pump every 2-3 hours, which doesn't allow for much time outside of the house. For example, today I pumped at 7, will pump at 9 before going to church, and we will have to be home by 12 for me to pump. If I go beyond 3 hours for pumping my milk supply starts to dwindle, which is not a good thing. Even if I hadn't run out of bottles, the meeting starts at 1. If I had pumped at 12 I would need to be home by 3 to pump which would have only gave me an hour and a half at the meeting before I'd have to leave to make it home to pump.

I wish that it wasn't so inconvenient. It is so much easier when you can have your baby with you...however, this is the best for Bree and I am the only one who can give it to her. So, I guess it is a sacrifice that is necessary. I just hope that our friends are understanding of the situation we are in, I am sure it is just as frustrating for them that we can't stay for a day and hang out, or be in planning meetings from 1-6...etc, etc....

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!

Renting...

Yeah, yeah...I know those of you who know us well are probably thinking "but I thought you were buying a house?" Well, we all know plans change, and fall through, and all things happen for a reason. Adam and I feel that God has guided us in our journey of trying to move off base and this is what he wants for us. A good friend of ours, Aleasha, has an aunt who owns a home here in Arizona that she rents out. It just happens to be that she is requiring some renters in it. It is in the same area we were looking to buy in, it's only $800 a month, and has fake grass in the back yard!

Scott and Aleasha have fake grass in their back yard and I fell in love with it! It is green all the time, you don't have to cut it or water it, and it can still be played on. How perfect is that?

It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath 1300 sq foot home, which is 300 sq feet bigger than where we are now. This house also has a garage, which we are lacking with the house we live in here on base. Also, friends can come over and visit without having to get a pass to get on base...need I go on?

I am very excited about being able to move into a new, clean house that we will be settled into by the time Bree comes home. Another great bonus of moving: It's a great opportunity to go through your stuff and get rid of what you don't use, don't need, or don't want! (I love de-cluttering!)

I hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 11, 2008

Good afternoon!

Miss Bree got to try on her Halloween costume today...and it looked great! I do have to make a new hat for her though because the one I made is too small!! That is exciting to me. I made it based upon a hat from two weeks ago so it is exciting that she has grown! My aunt and uncle (Shrrene and Rick) met us at the hospital today to see Bree for the first time since she was born. They were able to see a size difference in her so she is definitely growing.

She started feeds of breastmilk again yesterday and she is doing so well they have already increased them. She started out on 1cc every 6 hours, and now it is 1cc every three hours. As long as she continues to digest what they give her, they will continue to bump up her feeds. When we were there today she was resting on her tummy and she looked so comfortable!

If we would have been there longer, I would have had the opportunity to hold her skin to skin, but we had Riley with us and it takes a while for the skin to skin holding. However, on Monday, our good friend (and AWESOME photographer!), Carrie Fay, is going with me to the hospital so we will get some great one month pictures of Bree. Hopefully, Bree is having a good day that day so we might be able to get some skin to skin pictures...

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!

October 10, 2008

Happy one month birthday to Bree!! Woo hoo! We'd give her some cake in celebration, but the nurses probably won't let us. Ha ha, so some love and caring words will have to do when we see her later this afternoon. There is still no new news on her...no news is good news! She is still on the conventional ventilator, still on 21% oxygen, and being a good little girl.

Riley had more of an eventful day than her sister did. We had a great time at our playdate with Ethan and Aleasha! As usual, Aleasha and I were able to get some much needed mommy bonding time in while Ethan and Riley ran around and played. Both of them seemed to have grown within the two weeks they hadn't seen one another. This time they were sharing with each other on purpose. Ethan pulled a toy out of the toy box, would hold it up for Riley to see, walk over to her, and give it to her. She would hold it for a few minutes, and then give it back to him. It was so sweet of them. They also both learned they could scream back and forth at the top of their lungs at one another. Riley would screech, and Ethan would answer...and so on and so on. Next time I might be bringing some ear plugs...ha ha!

Another momentous event in our day yesterday was Riley 'puttin the moves' on Ethan. She was sitting on the groud, and Ethan was standing in front of her. She proceeded to give him a hug, which to Aleasha and I, did not look very lady like. She grabbed his pants, pulled him to her and while burying her face in his 'front diaper area' said "mmmm!" (she does that during hugs). Aleasha and I just cracked up laughing! Not too long after, somehow the little ones had switched places (Ethan sitting, Riley standing) and Riley bent down, opened mouthed and gave Ethan, as best she could, a kiss on the mouth. But wait! The fun didn't stop there! During Ethan's diaper change (I know you are all thinking, "oh no!"), that's right, she walked right over and grabbed his "business"! Talk about a bold little girl! I couldn't believe it....as if hugging and kissing were not enough. Needless to say, when we got home, Daddy and Riley had a serious talk about boys and what is appropriate behavior.

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!

October 9, 2008

Good morning all!

This morning is a great example of no news is good news. Bree is still on the room air (21%) oxygen, resting comfortably, and just being a good little girl. Our visit with the neurologist yesterday was very insightful for me, and I learned some good information. Bree does have a new brain bleed, however, it is not causing any new problems. The ventricle size is the same in her brain so they are still at a stage three.

The doctor explained to me that since her ventricles are enlarged due to the brain bleeds, that they will always stay enlarged even when the brain bleeds dissipate. Very rarely, she explained, do the ventricles shrink back down to their original size. Bree will have an MRI shortly after being released from the hospital so that we will be able to see if there was any brain damage caused from the brain bleeds or anything else.

Other than that, we, as a family, have a busy but uneventful day. Here shortly (right after I post this) I am going to get my oil changed, do some grocery shopping after that, come home for lunch and head off to a playdate (and mommy time!) with Ethan and Aleasha. After that, Adam and I are leaving Riley with Papa while we go to our first R-group meeting. The day is bound to pass fast with all those plans!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

October 8, 2008

Good morning all!

Bree is doing wonderful this morning! She has been weaned down to 21% oxygen and she is doing perfectly fine at that setting. Her blood gases have continually been better and better, so they have changed the settings on her ventilator to start weaning her off it a little bit. (not giving as much support) Her Dopamine medication is being weaned as well, so she is on half the rate of what she was yesterday.

We were told yesterday by the NP that her brain scan showed results of new Stage three bleeds, but he could not tell us to what extent they are. Her ventricles have not increased in size since her previous scan, which is good news. However, new bleeds are not a good thing. Adam and I are going in this morning to talk with the neurologist about this new result sand what it means. The NP did agree with me though, that these new bleeds are probably the result of all of the excitement we had on Sunday.

In other news, Riley did something quite unexpected yesterday. She was playing like normal, and I was sitting on the floor with her. She came over to me, laid down like when she gets her diaper changed, grabbed her feet, and pulled them up. I checked her diaper out of curiosity and she was poopy!! What a big girl for telling us!

Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!
