I am running really short of room on this account (considering I have blogged with 4 different blogs on here for about 5 years now!) and I am not closing it... just adding to it through a new blog for awhile. I may come back to this blog and revamp eventually but I do not have the free time to do so now... so please follow us at our new blog <a href="http://msalesha.blogspot.com/">Catching Up On My Zzzz's</a> for the time being! We look forward to seeing you and hopefully updating you more often with more photos! Hope to see you all soon!<br />

Part 2 of the story : )So.... after the shock subsided just a tiny bit, I proceeded to call my ARNP here at home and she set up blood work for early the next morning. I had the blood work done and hours later (after some confusion in the lab), it was confirmed that I was indeed pregnant with a HCG level of 2,164. Now... being the worrywart that I am, I began to worry that maybe it wasn't a pregnancy but instead ovarian cancer. Let me explain... my aunt had fought ovarian cancer the year before and a big sign of hers was that she registered as being 3 months pregnant when she knew she couldn't be. My great grandmother had also had ovarian cancer and after all the hormones I had been on for the past year (+) I was nervous that maybe that was it. But... God is good. He wasn't giving me cancer to battle... He was giving me the desires of my heart.... another child WITHOUT any medical intervention this time! <br />
<br />
My levels continued to grow. On August 2, I had more blood work which showed that my levels were 5,000+, but yet again with this pregnancy my progesterone was low registering at 9.5. The good news was that this time the progesterone suppositories 2 times a day worked and I didn't have to do the twice a day shots. I was really nervous because the pills hadn't worked when I was trying to get pregnant with Zoey but my ARNP at my OB office assured me that she felt they would work this time since this was a natural pregnancy. On August 9, my levels came back at 28,000 and my progesterone was up to 16. I was so thankful that everything was going well.<br />
<br />
On August 16, I went to the OB for the first time and we saw our baby and heard his heartbeat for the first time. It was 152 bpm. This reassured me that there was a baby in there and not cancer! Such a blessing this was!<br />
<br />
Since then....<br />
<br />
Month 1-6: I was EXHAUSTED to say the least! It could be that I have a 1 year old little girl to chase around and that I work full time and try to keep our home together as well.<br />
<br />
Month 1: tired<br />
Month 2: tired<br />
Month 3: tired, some heartburn<br />
Month 4: tired, heartburn, sinus issues begin<br />
Month 5: oh the sinuses, some sleep issues, some contractions<br />
Month 6: EXHAUSTION (diagnosed with anemia and borderline Gestational Diabetes which I am having to monitor 4 times daily and control), sinus issues, some heartburn, having to pee ALL THE TIME, contractions have began along with some pressure down low at times (doctor has said to take it easy and not over do it .. hopefully our lil man will bake longer than his sis did), some sleeping issues but it seems easier this time because I have Zoey to hug up to! haha<br />
<br />
I have been blessed with a healthy pregnancy this time so far aside from my previous issues,the anemia, and the gestational diabetes. I'm not gonna lie, the contractions and pressure scare me and therefore we have not traveled and will not be traveling (Lord willing) out of town away until our baby is here. The doctor felt like this was a good idea as well because I really don't want to deliver at a random hospital. It is normal to have Braxton-Hicks contractions but my fear is that these are more than that. My ARNP said that if I have 4-6 in even a day to let them know because it could mean premature labor. My first two fetal fibronectin tests have come back negative meaning that I won't go into labor within the next 2 weeks, however, it did with Zoey as well and I went into labor before the 2 weeks were up. I'm just a little cautious which I guess is a good thing in this situation. <br />
<br />
On October 18, we found out that Zoey would be joined by a baby brother. I was shocked. My hubby, mom and I thought the baby was another girl. We felt blessed either way but how neat it will be to have a little boy so that we can enjoy the best of both worlds! It was an interesting day to say the least as I had gotten my first speeding ticket in Anderson Co. and I wasn't even rushing! I was going downhill and not paying attention! (Grrr...but after DVD traffic school that is all taken care of!) Needless to say, my blood pressure was up at the doctor's office and they were worried about it so I had to have a MIST test completed to make sure everything was ok. It came back well and I told them I knew it was from the ticket. I later got my flu shot that evening. <br />
<br />
More to come...<br />

(Part 1)So … I have not updated or told the story of baby number 2 yet. I am very behind (as I am sure I will be for the next few years). My problem is that I want to journal every little thing for me, more than anyone, to have to look back on. I have a written version so I may have to work on shortening my online version. Either way, here’s the story of baby number 2!<br />
<br />
On July 19th I went to my ARNP to FINALLY have my thyroid checked. I was suppose to do this about 3 months after I had Zoey and instead I had waited 5 months longer. A few days later I went back for the results and found out that my thyroid was really, really out of whack. My ARNP asked me how I had any energy and I just shook my head. I guess I had just gotten use to being tired. She sent me straight to have an ultrasound on my thyroid to check the nodules that were found a few years before. I was scared too death and the tech wouldn’t really tell me anything (even though sometimes she does). That worried me. <br />
<br />
I was all worried about finding out the results so I called off and on for a few days to see if they had came back. I then got caught up in some things and got my mind off of it. On July 29 (Thursday), I had an appointment with Zoey and was looking forward to the next day being void of anything to do so that I could swim and enjoy our last Friday off from school with my girl. However, I received a phone call from my boss stating that I needed to attend a meeting for training in the PEP program for PE at our school. <br />
<br />
The next day was filled with tons of workouts and ways we could teach certain workouts to our students. We worked hard and we all left very tired. I, myself, was exhausted. I just thought it was from my thyroid problems so I went to pick up my Zoey from my mom’s and ended up napping with her on the couch for a bit. When I got up, I just couldn’t shake the tiredness. My mom told me that I really should take a test because I was about a week late (I thought anyway) and my beloved friend Misty had been telling me the same thing for a few days but I had been blowing it off. I got up to go to the bathroom and notice one of the cheap cassette pregnancy tests that my mom had had left over. (FYI… when my aunt tested positive for ovarian cancer, she also tested positive for pregnancy … so before my mom had the 2nd half of her hysterectomy this past May, she checked with a pregnancy test to see if anything was showing up that may mean something. ) Anyway, I decided to take the test for the heck of it because I had done that a few times over the past couple of months and it was always negative. I took the test and then went to get up from the toilet. Much to my surprise… IT WAS POSITIVE! <br />
<br />
Now yes, I had seen a positive test before but NEVER before I knew I was pregnant. I always wondered what it would be like to just be late and then take a test and find out at home. Now I was getting that chance. God knew that I had always desired that and He was giving me that to cherish. I screamed, “MOM” and she knew as soon as she heard me scream what it was. She, of course, told my mamaw who she was on the phone with. My dad was holding Zoey and my brother was in the living room with them and they started questioning… “She’s pregnant?” Zoey got so excited because everyone else was excited that she started banging my dad in the head with her toy phone.<br />
<br />
I called my husband at work (Richmond at the time) and he said "I knew it... you were grouchy." Lol. Too funny! <br />
<br />
Talk about crazy! I was so in shock that you could have knocked me over with a feather! More details to come ....<br />

Mommy and mamaw had scheduled a hair appointment for after school on that Thursday and Billy had kept Zoey. Of course the bad storms would come while we were gone. However, Uncle Billy took awesome care of her, as he always does. He'll be such a good daddy someday!<br />
<br />
On Friday, Zoey, mamaw, & I went to town to find some party things for her upcoming 1st birthday party. We found a ton of stuff at the dollar tree. The next night, Zoey went trick or treating in the town square and in our subdivison. Zoey was shy and sleepy while trick or treating but was wide awake and ready to play in her candy when we got home. She cried for a sucker that I had let her lick on. She wanted the whole dum, dum in her mout and I wouldn't let her for fear that it would break off and she would choke. She got the cutest blue toboggan from the local college and we began to rely on that for help on the following cold mornings.<br />
<br />
On the 31st, Zoey and I met mamaw and papaw at church. We were by ourselves and running late. I had to stop at the store to buy a new paci since I had forgotten the others at home. I refuse to go to church without her paci! haha I would be asking for it! Then we had a poopy diaper as we pulled in. Needless to say, we were pretty late.<br />
<br />
We headed home afterwards and I held the ladder while daddy applied stain/sealer to the house. Then we had drama trying to match everyone to get ready for church directory pictures. After a fight with the car seat base, we were on our way and I was exhausted. We were late for church because the pictures weren't over until 6:30 and then we headed to Wal-Mart, my hubby's bright idea because he never seems to run out of energy unlike me!<br />
<br />
The next day was November 1st, Danielle's (Zoey's namesake and my bff) 30th birthday. I was amazed that it had been 5 whole years since I had sent her flowers for her last birthday here on earth. I put on my commemorative pin that I attempt to wear daily during November each year and headed to work knowing that this year, my daughter would notice that pin and would already question what it was and why mommy was wearing it. More questions will come as she gets older and I'll be glad to share the story of Danielle's life with her. <br />
<br />
The next day there was no school and I headed to the doctor, 2 hours away. After being in the doctor's office for ever (waiting 40 minutes for blood work), I picked up stuff for my dearest friend Tina to make Zoey a tutu, ate Japanese, picked up 2 Halloween costumes on clearance and got home around 6ish. <br />
<br />
The next few days were just work and then that weekend, Zoey and I went to town with mamaw. I got Zoey her first birthday gift... a small chatterbox Elmo that she enjoyed playing with in the store and the rest of the supplies for her tutu. I also found her baby brother's Halloween costume even cheaper so I ended up saving more money by purchasing it at the lower price.<br />
<br />
We were home from church the next day due to mommy overdoing it herself that week and needing some rest. I did manage to straighten up Zoey's room just a bit and her clothes before making myself lay around the rest of the day. Monday, I gave Zoey's tutu stuff to Tina and boom... Tuesday morning she had it ready. Zoey was amazed by it and was kinda intimidated by it haha That day was Celebrate America at work for me and then home to prepare for Zoey's 11 month pictures (which would include those for her 1st bday) the next day.<br />
<br />
The pictures were so much fun and my lil girl was hilarious! She first took her Thanksgiving pictures with the fall background and the little turkey and then she took her 1st birthday pictures. Zoey hated the feeling of the cake icing on her and actually cried when she got it on her! It was hilarious. She also didn't like that the icing was strawberry... what can I say... she's my girl... she loves chocolate!<br />

I picked up her pictures the next day and they were adorable to say the least. I ended up making a last minute decision to change her birthday party to the following weekend and stayed up until 3am getting invitations ready for it. The next day, I mailed the invitations, worked, and then headed to a meeting during the 2nd half of the day. The meeting ended early and I headed out to take Zoey to get her 1st flu shot. She did great with it.<br />

That night ended with me in the process of changing Zoey and her managing to pee on the changing table and get it all in her hair and all over her. LOL So the night technically ended with another bath and bedtime.<br />
<br />
The 13th brought about a trip to Corbin with mamaw to the Dollar Tree for some things, Wal-Mart, Sonic, and a few shoe stores with Zoey's great grandmother Rose. The next day we headed to church and Zoey wore her frilly dress that her Aunt Carrie had gotten her a few months back. We through a sweater on with it so that she wouldn't get too cold and it was adorable. She was complimented a lot but she always is haha<br />

That Monday was work. I was exhausted and feeling a lot of pressure down low so I took a nap with Zoey at mamaw's house and fed her mashed potatoes and bananas before heading home at 7:30pm. I fell asleep again getting her to sleep and woke up at 2am to take my meds. That night we also got our church pictures back and they turned out really well... well Zoey's did haha<br />
<br />
The rest of the week was work, work, work as usual. The 19th was a busy day being so because it was a work day and our 5 year wedding anniversary. We celebrated by going out to eat at Golden Corral and doing a bit of last minute birthday shopping at Wal-Mart with Zoey. That night began the period of over a month of sickness beginning with Zoey's 1st round of diarrhea. She screamed all the way home after daddy dropped us off at my car so we could follow him home. When we got home and I got her out, she had went big time. I assumed it was something in the potatoes we had ate so I let it go. That night she went again and so my mom brought her some pedialyte just in case. She did great the whole day and so I didn't cancel her birthday party. We had a great time after we finally got moving. I couldn't seem to get motivated to finish decorating and daddy was trying to help me and clean. Finally we were finishing dishes as our 1st guest, great mamaw Brock showed up. Next was Tina and Lauren, then Jessica and Gavin.... etc. Zoey had a great time though she was a bit whiny. She licked a ton of chocolate icing off her cake and did a much better job with it this time than she did at her photo session. She had a ton of icing in her nose and so after her bath I had to clean it all out of her nose haha She got lots of cool toys and had a great time seeing everyone. Her birthday cake was to die for and was created by my dearest Tina. She is so good!<br />
<br />
Just when we thought she was feeling better... the diarrhea started again. And it lasted through the next day and actually for the next week and half. We were home with Zoey that next day only running out to Kmart for more pedialyte and stopping at Mr. Gatti's for daddy some dinner. On the 23rd, Zoey and I spent the night with mamaw and papaw because mommy had a doctor's appointment at 7:30am the next day which meant I had to leave at around 5:15 to get there. I was leaving her there so I figured I'd spend the night there so she could just sleep through me leaving and not have to get up and then try to go back to sleep when I dropped her off. I headed out by myself so that my mom could cook our Thanksgiving dinner for that day while I was gone. The appointment went well and I was out before 10am. I stopped at a Wal-Mart in Lafollette, Tn and picked up a few things for Zoey and her brother along with some bananas and flowers and then was on my way. I then stopped by the cemetery to visit Danielle's grave and I placed the flowers there. I had cried my eyes out that morning as I had passed by driving down the road we traveled so much together and now I was just numb standing there. So surreal that she's really gone... even 5 years later. So amazing that I have a little girl that she would have spoiled rotten that shares her name and even reminds me of her in some ways.<br />
<br />
I then headed home to eat some Thanksgiving dinner via my momma's kitchen. It was wonderful! It always is! Next, I took a nap... ate some more and then sat around until my hubby and dad arrived to eat. It's always a little off kilter when we celebrate ahead of time because they aren't always off work and so we eat again with them. My mom does everything early and this is no exception. Zoey enjoyed to potato salad and dressing. I knew she would... it's a tradition in our family and no one makes it like my mom and my grandmother do (did). We left for Louisville at around 7pm and headed to Indiana first. We spent about an hour and half there taking my sister-in-law our old couches for her basement. Zoey was amazed watching her animals while sitting on my hip. Carrie fed her some egg nog shake and then Uncle Keith tried to give her chocolate milk. Then we headed to Aunt Fefe's to drop off the trailor until we were ready to head back home. Finally, we made it to granny's house and to bed after a White Castle snack at 3:30am. I noticed that zoey had a slight cough that night but I dismissed it.<br />
<br />
The next day was Thanksgiving with the Lville clan. We ate and then they threw Zoey a birthday party because they hadn't gotten to come to hers. She had a blast with her cake there. She ate a lot of it and then rolled it around on the table. I then played rummy with my Carrie, Pa, and Jesse while Zoey took a nap on the bed with Granny. I won and I wasn't even paying attention... I was sifting through sale ads. At 12:30am, we headed out (Zoey, too) to Wal-Mart where it was hilariously packed. My hubby was the ring leader and quickly changed his mind after he saw the crowds. I picked up a few movies and then headed to Toys R Us for a couch for Zoey for Christmas. They were sold out :(<br />
<br />
The next day (a year from the day that I had went into labor with Zoey), Zoey met her great-aunt Darlene and uncle Bob. We hung out with Aunt Fefe that day, had some Roadhouse for dinner, then headed home with the whole back end of our Navigator filled with clothes and toys Aunt Fefe was sending home with us.<br />

We were exhausted from being on the go so much that week. I could barely move. To make matters worse, Zoey's cough got worse. Still, it was great to go shopping with my parents...my dad enjoys it so much! By the next morning, Zoey sounded awful and we decided to keep her in. I hated missing church 2 Sundays in a row but I didn't want her to get worse and hated that she had been out the day before without me knowing that she was getting sick. It was sad to see my lil girl sick on her very first BIRTHDAY. But I better leave that to the next post : )<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Zoey turned 10 months old on September 28<sup>th</sup>, the same day that I went to the doctor and we got to see the baby. He/She had moved all morning and according to the ultrasound (which they did extensively because of the 1<sup>st</sup> trimester screening) my due date was changed which made more since with the movement I was randomly feeling. I am now due on April 2<sup>nd</sup> instead of April 10<sup>th</sup>. This was my gut feeling the whole time but I hadn’t measured up to it until this visit. I was also given a complete physical which went well except for the fact that I had a BV infection. For those of you who read the blog when I was pregnant with Zoey, you will remember that I had this near the end of my pregnancy with Zoey. Many things can cause it including bleeding and anything that can change your PH balance. I wonder if mine was from the progesterone suppositories that I have been using this time instead of the shots I took last time. I also had my glucose screening that day and my thyroid tested. Zoey in the meantime was so well behaved and had a good time exploring in the doctor’s office.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was back at work and tired as usual. I was at mom’s until 8pm and then home to finish things up for the day. The next day I found out that my thyroid had improved a lot (moving from approximately 8 something to around 2.9 and I was left on my 137 mcg dosage) but that it was possible that it had affected my glucose screening because I had missed the conservative cutoff on it by 3 points with a 133. This was odd to me and the doctor because I had passed the early and later screenings with Zoey with flying colors so she suspected something may be affecting the test. I was told that I would have to schedule the 3 hour glucose test to see how things went. I debated as to when to do so and ended up scheduling for my Fall Break, October 11. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUnt00SL-cor7LCyjqINTElU8aPTx1JVnNcZEBCfw_BYeb4RY186DwnTZcvkiduASrmDJ76hp443pClw1NJPLdS1puw2MVEhDLDbg2DIHhcC7mwUJanqNIvM9-hL3Or3EtkmWQZw_QzIg/s1600/DSCN0687.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUnt00SL-cor7LCyjqINTElU8aPTx1JVnNcZEBCfw_BYeb4RY186DwnTZcvkiduASrmDJ76hp443pClw1NJPLdS1puw2MVEhDLDbg2DIHhcC7mwUJanqNIvM9-hL3Or3EtkmWQZw_QzIg/s320/DSCN0687.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Friday, October 1, 2010, Zoey and I headed to get a few groceries after school with mom. On Saturday, Zoey and I went to mom’s for the morning after I had packed for our Louisville trip. We watched the movie “The Last Song” and relaxed. Then we headed to pick up daddy at work so we could head to Louisville at 12:30. Zoey slept most of the way but got aggravated with her carseat during the second half because she had been in it so much that week already. We arrived and Zoey ate a candy apple with her daddy. Her granny thought it was hilarious. I also introduced my in-laws to their newest grandbaby by sharing the ultrasound pictures. She also went with us to Indiana to eat at Paula Dean’s new restaurant. Zoey wasn’t too big on Paula’s mashed potatoes. On Sunday we went to church at Victory Baptist with Zoey’s grandparents, aunt Fefe, and cousins. The older pastor Bro. Gentry preached but we didn’t get to stay in very long because after everyone had taken a turn with Zoey, she was excited. She wasn’t loud but I was afraid she’d get there so she and I went to the vestibule where we preceeded to wrestle around for the next hour. We walked the halls and read every poster, looked at the fish tank, spoke to the nursey lady, and finally she fell asleep right before church ended. We then all rode to Shoe Carnival with her daddy and then to Qudoba’s to get something to take home and eat. I, once again, was not impressed. Just not really my type of Mexican food. After playing around at her granny’s with everyone and eating food with aunt Fefe, Zoey was ready for a nap and so was mommy. She and I slept 1.5 hours and then got up to pack to head home. We got home around 10pm and the next morning we were both exhausted. (Zoey also was given just a small taste of coffee on her granny’s spoon that morning …. I glanced over and noticed her face and realized it and her daddy was vocal in saying no no no… he is anti-coffee haha). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmVdyguC2FzTJ9a30GUjq_jtfyaxufg-wpJflrczHxnTJpDuw6KCPGZN8swHNn-PPbSZ0UENOJV3oaifM-Alh8NaTT_GQTfn31qw-es9joUNnuvnjC1S804v7RpAk23S2ZSh0XAh8tB0/s1600/DSCN0740.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicmVdyguC2FzTJ9a30GUjq_jtfyaxufg-wpJflrczHxnTJpDuw6KCPGZN8swHNn-PPbSZ0UENOJV3oaifM-Alh8NaTT_GQTfn31qw-es9joUNnuvnjC1S804v7RpAk23S2ZSh0XAh8tB0/s320/DSCN0740.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Monday started with a bang… I woke up sick which I suspected the night before. I then got to work and realized that my bank account had been hacked into through Paypal, an outside 3<sup>rd</sup> person service that you can use to pay for purchases through. The thing was, I hadn’t made any purchases but apparently someone else had and by the middle of the week it had rang up to almost $3,500. It was a headache but we got everything straightened out. I went back to work after stopping to use my brother’s computer to call and cancel things. Zoey wasn’t sure what was going on for me to be there that early and then to leave again. I was feeling sick still the next day and slept at mom’s that evening. After going home that night, I woke up to a really red face and a sore throad along with my sinuses that were clogged. I went back to bed and got up for work. I almost called in but I am afraid to use my days so I made myself go. This happened again that night and I was up at 3am using my Neti pot to relieve sinus pressure. On Thursday, I ate with mom at her house before going home to eat a whole can of sauerkraut that night that my hubby fixed for me because he knew I had been craving it. I bathed Zoey while my hubby cooked dinner and got Zoey’s bag packed for the doctor the following evening. I scratched the hubby’s back while we all sat on the couch and he and Zoey cuddled up to watch Dinosaur Train. He even sung the theme song to her like I do. It was quite cute. We were a little stressed but we had a great time as our little family of 3 (actually 4). </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR4DV1L21ZwgSpzGkkfcqlUf00ecKcRu1NRYzwsx6y25_nXjVIPjeVDScVzJvqH1LwI-pZxcqmvkyJZjF_x3WN_hbmuA4UEuZxz7A2nr04KtN8mb65pNJOEb49sYDPNTHLDXpvi-5JaMk/s1600/uploadoct3055.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR4DV1L21ZwgSpzGkkfcqlUf00ecKcRu1NRYzwsx6y25_nXjVIPjeVDScVzJvqH1LwI-pZxcqmvkyJZjF_x3WN_hbmuA4UEuZxz7A2nr04KtN8mb65pNJOEb49sYDPNTHLDXpvi-5JaMk/s320/uploadoct3055.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I went to work feeling worse than I had felt all week on Friday. I tried to do things in class that would be educational yet would help me rest my voice because after singing all week, I had nothing left to use. After school, I picked up Zoey and mom and we headed to Zoey’s eye doctor’s appointment. Appointment went well. I did get a little upset at the lady who dilated her eyes because she was really grouchy about it and c’mon …. My baby isn’t even a year old, of course it will be difficult for her to have her eyes dilated especially when she is sleepy. But the appointment went well and we don’t go back for 6 months. Yay!<br />
<br />
During the end of this week… Zoey began waking up during the night and crying off and on until I held her close and then she would fall back asleep. This happened repeatedly. Not sure what was going on, other than her feeling bad from teething and trying to get sick, but after about 4 nights she was ok again. Fall break began that weekend and I was so glad because I was exhausted and still so sick. That Sunday, Zoey clapped her hands in church for the first time. My dad has been teaching her and she’s been clapping but this was her first time clapping in church. So sweet! I got Zoey a small Elmo doll after stopping at the Dollar Store because she didn’t really have any that were that small. We spent the day and night at mom’s house because I had to be up so early to head to the doctor the next morning for my 3 hour diabetes test. It just made it easier than dragging Zoey out extra early and to get to my mom’s before heading to the doctor at 5 am. I was exhausted because I couldn’t sleep that night. <br />
<br />
The test took FOREVER… as they normally do haha… and I was really tired by the time it was all over. We did manage to fit in Duck Duck Goose, a consignment sale with tons of children’s things, and Zoey’s refitting of her splints. We were exhausted that night! (Notice… we seem to stay exhausted lately haha). Tuesday was spent just relaxing with mamaw because daddy had to work. It was back to work on Wednesday and then Thursday we discovered that Zoey was sick with the cold (?) that I had had the week before. I left work and went to the store and bought her some trucks and a Cookie Monster toy to cheer her up. I hate seeing her sick. And she loved the toys.. especially the trucks! They were so cute! I also had to pick up things for my boss’ retirement party the next day. The next day was spent at work and then out to Htown to get some things for the next week. On the way, I stopped at the florist that sells baby bows and bought Zoey 3 new bows. I hadn’t bought any in forever!<br />
<br />
Saturday was spent straightening up the house and then heading to London with mom and dad to pick up a few things. After coming home, my dad and hubby played around with a metal detector while mom, Zoey, and I went inside to sit for a bit. We headed to church on Sunday morning but not that night because Zoey wasn’t feeling well. We had dinner at Pizza Hut after the morning service and then headed straight home. <br />
<br />
I was off work the next day for my doctor’s appointment, so we headed out early and I wasn’t in a rush at all. However, mom and I got to talking and I got my 1st speeding ticket ever! There were cars whizzing all around me and they picked me to pull over HAHA It figures. Needless to say, by the time that I got to the doctor, my blood pressure was h igh… 163 over 75. I explained to them what had happened but they wanted to be sure so I had the MIST test done and everything came back well. It was barely near the edge of being abnormal. I had a wet prep to ensure that the BV infection was gone and thank God that it was! It was at this appointment that we found out that Zoey is the big sister to a LITTLE BROTHER! Afterwards I had bloodwork and then went to pick up Zoey’s new splints. Then I waited for an hour for a Flu Shot at Wal-Green’s before heading home.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday the 19th, it was back to work full force with an SFA visit. You just gotta love visitors. That evening Uncle Billy came over to help daddy move our old couches to the garage to make room for the new ones. Daddy then made spaghetti for dinner. After work the next day, Zoey and I went straight to the courthouse before going home. She slept as I carried her through. She was so tired. She woke up later kicking me in the belly. That night we got our new couces and had pizza. Zoey hugged up to me after playing around the new couches and went straight to sleep. <br />
<br />
The next few days were the usual... work, work, then the weekend. Aunt Carrie, Uncle Keith, Cousin Lea and Cousin Adam came to visit. We had a great time hanging out and enjoyed a boat ride (well Zoey and I didn't) the next day. Zoey and I actually sat on the floating dock and she slept all covered up because it was so windy and I was afraid to take her out and make her even more sick.<br />
<br />
On the 27th, Zoey went to have her 10 month pictures (Halloween & Fall) taken. They turned out so well. She looked so adorable in her pumpkin suit. Here are the remainder of her pics that haven't already been scattered throughout the post:<br />

Zoey’s 9th month began with some time with both sets of grandparents. We spent the morning running errands with my mom and then seeing my dad and brother and then we headed to Louisville afterwards to spend time with our family down there. Zoey and I spent a lot of that evening with cousin Lea and her silly bands. Zoey is amused by her and had a great time. We got to see everyone else as they all began to roll in. We celebrated the birthdays of my hubby and I and were sent home with tons of stuff. Zoey, of course, came home with some new clothes and baby food… courtesy of Aunt FeFe who loves to buy her new clothes and food. We spent Sunday playing with an Elmo toy that had been Lea’s, attending church at Victory Baptist, and hanging out with the family until late evening. We headed home and got home around 10. I was exhausted and so was Zoey. After getting ready for the following week, we drifted off to sleep. <br />

Zoey and I spent the next few days like usual, me working and her hanging out at mom’s house. On Wednesday, Zoey went out to town with her mamaw and papaw to a doctor’s appointment that went really well. Saturday, we headed to Pigeon Forge, Tn for some Labor Day weekend shopping. We had a great time. I’d been planning this for weeks and it was a great day for it. Zoey got a few new dresses and outfits and I bought a few things at the maternity store. We got home at around 8pm that evening. We headed to church the next day, then to Wal-Mart, and then home to rest for the evening and straighten up the house a bit. I really needed the rest that evening. I still had two more busy days off ahead before plunging into the next work week. We had our planned yard sale the following day at my house. It was pretty dead so it looks like I’ll have to try again sometime soon. Dad stopped by and while they were watching the sale, I went out back to vacuum the pool. It had gotten really hot and I really got myself too hot. I had to stop and cool off. We then put up the sale and went to KFC to grab something to eat. I came home, rested a bit, finished the pool, and then got Zoey and I ready for the next day. We spent the following day going to see the doctor again to check on baby BG2. My ARNP did a quick ultrasound herself to make sure the baby was still growing and doing ok. We saw the baby, looking like a turtle much like Zoey did at that size, and saw the flicker of it’s heartbeat. It measured at 10 weeks 1 day but my due date stayed the same just because they are making sure all the ultrasounds are consistent. After leaving, we decided to grab something to eat. I called Zoey’s doctor that is in the same town to reschedule her September 20th appointment and they couldn’t do so. The doctor happened to be in though the office was closed. She told us to come on in at 1:15 and so we did. She ended up saying Zoey was doing well with her motor skills and that we needed to continue the splints and her foot exercises. She said that Zoey had a very expressive face and I totally agreed with her. She is the most expressive child I have ever met haha : )<br />

The next day we took a looong nap at mom’s before going home to see daddy. Zoey ate 3 and half jars of baby food that day. She’s eating more and more. We are actually almost out! She also kicked her splints off on the way home and when I looked back through the mirror, all I could see was her and a white sock hanging from her mouth like she was a little dog. So funny! I found her again this way the next morning while driving to work. That evening, Zoey and I took another long nap before heading home. What a small habit we are creating! HAHA <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Zoey spent the next few days with mamaw while I was at work, eating her socks at random times, and taking long naps with me in the evenings. The weekend of September 11<sup>th</sup>, Zoey and I went shopping with mamaw and papaw and on Sunday we went to our annual family reunion. Zoey got to meet a lot of her family that she had never met. She also got to swing with cousin Jessica. We then went to church that night after resting at mamaw and papaw's house first. <br />

I was sick the next few days with a major sinus headache so I went through in a blur. Zoey was wonderful at cheering me up. On the 16<sup>th</sup>, I had ball game duty at work. I was blessed and ended up only having to work 1 game and was back to my girl by 7. Though I had had a rough week, I spent that Friday evening at my old high school attending Zoey’s first football game. Mom went with us and we sat with my friend Kim and her family. Zoey and Kim’s son 5 year old son Lucas had a good time. He thought she was interesting and she did him, too. ZoeyDonie Ann, even though she slept through that meeting. <br />

The next day mom, Zoey, and I ran out into my town to grab a few things and then back home to rest before meeting daddy in Corbin to look at furniture. Afterwards, we had dinner at King’s Chinese before heading home. I was reminded of why I don’t eat there that often…. I am not that fond of it because I usually feel ill afterwards. I was pretty exhausted so I went home to lay around and rest. It had been a long week and I woke up Sunday morning not feeling the greatest, so I stayed home from church that morning with Zoey but attended that night and was privileged to hear Phil Cross sing. Zoey loved the music and was jumping around in my lap the entire time. It was so sweet.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">It was back to work on Monday. Wednesday brought about Zoey’s 9 month photo shoot at 4:30 and she did so wonderfully! I loved them! On Thursday we spent the evening with mom until 9:30pm because both my dad and hubby were working late. I am a chicken and mom likes the company so it worked out for all of us. Zoey is content at either place. I picked up Zoey’s pictures on Friday and Michael ordered our couch finally! <br />

On Saturday Zoey and I went to Middlesboro with mom to shop a bit and then, as tired as we were, went on to the Chicken Festival with dad because he wanted to go and had gotten off work late. We all weren’t that impressed but Zoey loved it. She enjoyed seeing all the people and things going on. We spent Sunday morning in church and Sunday evening at home as we were not feeling up to par. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Monday was a rainy work day for teachers. I felt bad still and just pushed myself to be there. We got out at 1:30pm and I headed to mom’s to see her and Zoey. We took naps and then woke up later to head home. Late that night, I felt Zoey’s sibling move for the first time. It was really neat because I was pretty far along with Zoey before I felt her move. What a great way to end out Zoey’s 9<sup>th</sup> month! Ps. Zoey also was introduced to Candy Apples during this month. Her daddy fed her the red sauce on the inside of the apple. I think she enjoyed teething on it more than anything. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZ8hjIVoUUBYDvVWiWm5egKty_H8R_0I7TMjIgcr-dbYweARGNUlHriixMxq8zeLiEB9ynZV2hOZjV7zfu7f5R4pilyBcgOS72sPDBLIRKUjWN8PqrnupIz_A5h0sNaFY4GIX1wwoEms/s1600/uploaded+in+sept25.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXZ8hjIVoUUBYDvVWiWm5egKty_H8R_0I7TMjIgcr-dbYweARGNUlHriixMxq8zeLiEB9ynZV2hOZjV7zfu7f5R4pilyBcgOS72sPDBLIRKUjWN8PqrnupIz_A5h0sNaFY4GIX1wwoEms/s320/uploaded+in+sept25.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">(This was the month I had camera issues... not many pictures :( ) </div>Zoey turned 8 months old on Wednesday July 28th and we spent the morning being evaluated by a lady from the First Steps program so that we could possibly get Zoey involved and get at home physical therapy. Afterards we headed to Corbin to get some stuff for the landscape and to look at the couch again. We headed home, ate and then attempted to swim with mamaw. After cleaning out frog eggs from my floats and getting the pool netted out … we got in and it began to rain. So we got out and got cleaned up only to see the sun pop back out about a half hour later. After resting that day, we headed to London that night to Wal-Mart so daddy could find some things that Corbin was out of. We dropped Zoey’s favorite toy, her bumble at Mr. Gatti’s and we had to stop to get it on our way back late that night. <br />

I headed to an appointment at the health department with Zoey the next morning before going to have my hair done and then heading to work to set up my new classroom. I was exhausted after finishing. I went to mom’s to shower and relax on the couch before heading home. I had received a call that morning from my boss telling me that I would have to attend another training the next day. I was exhuated and the training was a physical activity training so I knew I’d be worn out after 6 hours of it as well. After attending the training, I came back to mom’s and fell asleep with Zoey on the couch. When I woke up, I was still not feeling well. I had went to the doctor after having my bloodwork a few days before and my ARNP said my thyroid was really out of whack and had sent me for an ultrasound. I knew that the results had shown that but I had realized that I was late as well. So after encouragement from a friend and my mother, I took a cheap pregnancy test that my mom had had left from when she checked for signs of ovarian cancer. I started to get up to wash my hands and noticed that it was positive! I found out that I am pregnant with a brother or sister for Zoey! I was happy but shocked. And Zoey was the first person that went through my mind. I began to worry about her. We headed back to Lowe’s that evening and to KFC ( I couldn’t eat… I was so in shock!) <br />

I went for bloodwork the next day and my levels came back at 2,164. So I was definitely pregnant. After going through all that I went through to conceive Zoey, I began to worry that maybe it was just showing up as pregnant because maybe, like my aunt, I had ovarian cancer, too. I know that’s not positive thinking but it did enter my mind. We spent Sunday at church and Sears… well actually daddy and papaw were in Sears while mamaw, Zoey and I waited in the car. After going back to church that evening, we headed home to rest. Monday August 2nd, we headed to Knoxville for more bloodwork for me. Afterwards we went to Target and Sam’s Club before heading home. On Tuesday I worked at school for Opening Day in our district. My HCG levels came back at 5,000+ and my progesterone levels were at 9.5 which was low so I had to begin 2 pills of progesterone a day. I was nervous because last time I did shots but my ARNP said that since this was a natural pregnancy, my body should help out a little more this time and that we would try the pills first. <br />

The next few days were a blur…. Work and naps with Zoey on the couch. By Saturday I was feeling a bit more rested and so I went shopping in Morristown with mamaw and papaw and Zoey. We went to the mall, TJ Maxx, Lowes, and ate at the Sage Brush Steakhouse. We stopped by Sav-a-Lot on the way home for some frozen dinners and breakfasts for work the following week. After resting for a few, Zoey and I headed home around 8pm. The next day was Mike’s 32nd birthday. Zoey and I took him his 2nd present (the first being a game he picked out) which was his Clinique Happy cologne. This is my husband’s smell and I can’t buy him anything else. I’ve tried. It just doesn’t smell like him. We attended church and then went to pick up some movies from a friend in Tenneessee. This was Zoey’s first time meeting our friend David. Then daddy ran into Wal-Mart while Zoey and I waited in the car and shared a Pina Colada slushie. Finally we made it home with barely enough time to rest before heading back to church. We were both completely worn out! <br />

The next day after work, I headed back to Knoxville fore more bloodwork. We then stopped at Kroger to change Zoey’s diaper before heading next door to Sonic for dinner. I was exhausted that night. Tuesday my ARNP called with my numbers. My HCG was 28,000+ and my progesterone was 16. The doctor was pleased that it had increased but wanted to be on the safe side and so she told me to add another pill per day making it three. Wednesday, Zoey and I rushed home for her evaluation from the First Steps physical therapist. It was at 4pm. ZoeyLowes and Wal-Mart. I was reminded of why I never get groceries on a Friday night after work. We didn’t get home until 11:30pm!<br />

I was worn out Saturday morning. My aunt and uncle were on their way to my grandmothers to work on some things for her and so we left to go see them and help out. We spent the entire day there. Zoey was up from 8:30 am til 10pm that night with barely a bit of a nap in between! On Sunday August 15, we went to church. I was so overly tired and not feeling well that day and Zoey wasn’t either. She was teething pretty badly (she still hasn’t cut a tooth!) and was very tired and fighting sleep. So we made it through the morning service and went to eat at Pizza Hut for daddy’s late birthday dinner. I was so exhausted that I really didn’t want to go because of the crowd but that’s where he wanted to go so we did. We went home afterwards and then back to the PM service. I really wanted to hear the final installment sermon of the Battle of Ezekiel 38 and 39. Before Zoey, I was an avid note taker at church. Occasionally, I still do so but not so much because I usually am holding her. During this sermon series, mamaw had gladly held her (which she does a lot to help out anyway) and I was getting notes. I did manage to get most of the notes that night before finally having to head out to the vestibule with Zoey. She didn’t feel well and I was feeling worse. It was unsual because we rarely have to do that thus far. <br />

On Monday the 16th, I went to Kville with mom and Zoey. We went to pick up Zoey’s new splints, which are adorable I might add, and we went to my first OB appointment to see the newest addition. We were relieved to see a baby with a heartbeat of 152bpm. The next few days were spent at work. We headed to have Zoey’s pictures done on Thursday at 4:45. Afterwards, she and I went on home to rest a bit. On Friday, I left work about 30 minutes early and headed to Oak Ridge to have adjustments on Zoey’s splints. Wow! I didn’t think we would ever make it there. We did great and then we called and the folks at the office thought we were coming in on a different road and sent us the wrong way. We were about 15 miles out of the way when we realized it and they apologized. They are so nice there. They stayed to wait on us even though they were getting ready to close. We ate at A&W, went to get my birthday cake afterwards, then to Food City, the $ store, picked up dinner for the fellas at Taco Casa, and got home around 10pm. <br />
<br />
August 21, was my first birthday with my baby girl outside of my body. My sweet husband took us to Somerset for some furniture browsing and dinner. I know it sounds insane but I requested Gold Star Chilli for my birthday dinner and that’s where we ate. I love that place and we don’t have one here. We later headed home and Zoey and I went to mom’s for some cake and to watch Eclipse. We had been saving our time watching Eclipse and decided this would be the best time to do so. I had a great birthday!<br />

Michael had to work on some things and wasn’t able to attend church with us the next day so Zoey and I went to church and stayed at mom and dad’s house afterwards. It was much easier than all the running that I would have done had I went all the way home and we would have been by ourselves mainly anyway so it was nice to spend the day there. I was so very ill the next day, not from morning sickness, but from bad heartburn that I had apparently gotten from my egg drop soup the night before. I felt horrible at work that day and spent 2 hours asleep at mom’s that evening. I hated it because Zoey was ready to play and I was in no shape to do so. Afterwards though, I felt some better and spent some good, quality time with her. Tuesday evening I picked up Zoey’s pictures and then went home to overhaul 3 loads of laundry, dishes, and bottles. <br />

The rest of Zoey’s 8th month consisted of staying with mamaw and uncle Billy while mommy worked and hanging out in the evening. I am so blessed to have spent the last 8 months with my precious baby doll!<br />

My baby girl had a great 7th month even though it began with her first, real cold. Mom and I had taken her to Somerset with us to have mom’s oil changed and right before we left, she began to cough a bad sounding cough. We called the doctor and he said we could bring her in later on that day, so we went on to Somerset. Zoey enjoyed sharing mamaw’s Concrete Mixer ice cream from Culvers. She slept off and on as we headed back home. We headed straight to the doctor after that and he checked her out. He said that she did have a cold and that we should just do the Little Noses nasal spray that we had done in the past and continue to suction her. As we were heading out, it began to pour the rain, so Zoey got to meet a few other folks who were waiting for it to slack off as well. <br />

The next day, Zoey felt worse and we realized that she had passed her cold on to mamaw as well. Zoey hung out with mamaw in the car while mommy had her tires rotated and balanced and then we headed to mamaw’s house for the rest of the day to just rest. After seeing papaw that evening, Zoey and I headed home at around 7pm to give her a bath and let her nap the rest of the evening. <br />
<br />
I hated to get her out on the 30th of June but she had an already scheduled hearing screening that day so we went ahead and went. The tech was really nice and decided that after running the first tests, she wanted to run the tests that they do on babies as they sleep. She was a bit worried about it because Zoey was much bigger than most of the babies that she runs the test on, so she decided that we would reschedule for one of Zoey’s nap times in the morning. As we were trying to reschedule, Zoey started getting sleepy and I told her that we may be able to go ahead and do it. I was right. My girl fell asleep and I held her while she hooked all the wires to her ears and forehead. She did so well and she passed! Any negative pressure that did show up was from the cold that she had. We were so pleased! We will repeat her hearing tests in about a year. We headed home and Zoey rested the rest of the day. I felt so bad for her because she was coughing and had a crusty nose. She felt horrible.<br />

On Thursday, Zoey was feeling some better. We hung out at mamaw’s house just so she could continue to rest. We hang out there a lot because my parents can’t stand to not see their girl and Zoey and I don’t really like to stay home alone every day. We spent the next day at the eye doctor so that Zoey’s eyes could be checked. She did well with that appointment and was even told that he knew her eyes were ok when he walked into the room because of the way she continued to follow him with her eyes and watch everything he did. We go back this Fall to continue to keep check on them. I needed pool supplies so we headed to Tazewell and swung by Ole Towne Grill for lunch. <br />

The 3rd of July we had plans to head to Louisville for the holiday. Since we wouldn’t be with my family, they all came over that morning and we all swam in the pool (except for mom and Zoey … they were still recovering from their colds). We had a good time swimming and cleaning out the pool. I was so tickled to see my dad enjoy it so much because he has worked so hard to help me with it this year. Zoey and I cleaned up afterwards and then headed to meet daddy at work before heading on to Louisville. When we arrived, we saw Aunt Fefe, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Keith, and cousins Lea and Alec. We spent the rest of the evening and next day with them cooking out and catching up. We also attended church at Victory Baptist, my hubby’s home church. All of us girls sat in one row and the fellas sat in front of us. The night of the 4th, we decided to go ahead and spend the night and go back home the next morning early so that my husband could make it to work. We left at about 5:30am and had a peaceful trip.<br />

After dropping my husband off at work and transferring everything over to my car, Zoey and I started home. I stopped to get gas and then couldn’t find my car charger so I went back to his work to pick it up. He walked out and showed me where he had placed it in my car and I got ready to pull out when I began to smell something. Yep. It was Zoey. She had a huge, major, poopy diaper. I checked her and it was so bad that there wasn’t anyway I could have cleaned her up without a bath and new clothes plus washing her entire carseat…. Sooo we headed straight home. We were only about 18 minutes away at that point. To my lovely surprise, I didn’t have my garage door opener (I had sent it home with my parents in case they had wanted to get out the stuff to swim while we were gone and I couldn’t find my front door key. So, I had to call and wake my mother up and she had to come down to bring me the opener. While she was on her way, I stretched out a blanket in the front seat and started cleaning Zoey up the best I could. I had her naked and wrapped in a blanket by the time mom got there. Into the tub she went and then to mamaw for lotion, brushed hair and clothes. I, then, went to work on her car seat and dirty clothes along with the toys that were covered in it… the paci, gosh… what wasn’t covered? So I sanitized and sanitized and finally got everything clean. I then began the process of letting it all dry while I showered and Zoey slept. Later, after the carseat stuff dried at around 2pm, we drove up to see mamaw and papaw for the evening. <br />

<br />
The next day was mamaw’s birthday so of course Zoey and I took her a movie and pizza/pasta to celebrate. We spent most of the day just hanging out at mom’s house and then later on that evening we went to have our family pictures made along with Zoey’s 7 month pictures and those for Father’s Day. It was hilarious because Zoey had never sat in the grass or a tree before. She was amused. Her daddy wasn’t as amused as the ants and bugs crawled all over him and her. But the pictures turned out great!<br />

We went swimming on the 7th of July with Uncle Billy and Mamaw and daddy worked on his garden. Uncle Billy and I got into the pool first while mamaw stayed with Zoey because we wanted to make sure she was totally better before putting her in. After Uncle Billy got stung by a wasp, he went in to be with Zoey and mamaw came out to lay out with me. Later we packed for a quick trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Tn with my family the next few days. We left early the next morning on our journey and we stopped first to eat some breakfast at good, ole McDonalds. We then went on to the Bass Pro shop. I love going there and it was Zoey’s first time so of course we had to take some pictures of her with some of the animals and things. We also bought her a pink Bass Pro shirt and a pink “My First Fishing Hat” ball cap.<br />

They are so adorable on her. Next we headed to Knife Works. Mom and I always make a quick run around the place and then sit on the benches waiting for the fellas but this time we ended up going back to the bottom level to let Zoey watch the singing bear, coon, and dog. She just stared at it in amazement. She didn’t know what to think. Later, we ate at Mr Gatti’s (my hubby’s favorite place and we missed him a lot there) and then went to shop in the Tanger outlets. It was so brutally hot! We were sweltering! Seriously, it was 103 degrees plus the entire trip. Zoey was such a good sport. She was sweating and hot but she didn’t cry one time. That night, we went up and down the streets of Gatlinburg to look around and then relaxed in the room later on.<br />

<br />
The next day we went to a few more shops and then back to Knoxville for Japaenese and more shopping at Sam’s Club and for me, Target. We got home that day around 4:45 and Zoey and I got to our house at around 8:30pm after resting at mamaw and papaw’s house and stopping to pick up our pictures that had been taken a few days before. <br />
<br />
I spent that Saturday morning cleaning my house. I love when I have the chance to do that and take my time. At around 1pm, Zoey and I headed to Lowe’s with mamaw and papaw to look around. Zoey got to wear her Bass Pro attire and a cute, blue jean skirt. She helped me pick out a pretty area rug that was on clearance. We then headed to Wal-Mart and to eat then home to wait for daddy to get off work. The next day we headed to church. We had 2 great services and Zoey was pretty well behaved as usual. She did want to babble a bit during the evening service but thanks to mamaw, she ended up falling fast asleep. <br />

July 12th involved a trip to Shriner’s hospital in Lexington, Ky for an evaluation of Zoey’s feet at 9am. I was really excited about the appointment because we haven’t had the best luck with the splints we had used thus far. I left very disappointed. I have always heard the very best about Shriner’s hospital and they were all so very nice, however, they wanted to treat Zoey’s feet as clubbed feet which would mean casts and a Dennis Brown brown. Now, there is nothing wrong with the Ponsetti method for clubbed feet, however, every other doctor we have seen has stated that her feet are not clubbed so it bothered me that she would have to go through such extreme measures if she was being treated for something that wasn’t really the issue. So, I stressed the whole day following the appointment and then decided to get a second opinion with another doctor that we hadn’t seen since we left the NICU. The appointment was scheduled for Monday at 4pm. <br />

The next three days, Zoey stayed with mamaw and Uncle Billy while I went to my ILIFE training for work. The training was very interesting but very, very fast paced. I came home each evening and read over my notes to prepare for our final exam that Friday. I was exhausted. That Friday, after passing my test with a 90.62, I came home to my girl and we headed to London to shop with my parents. That night was spent helping daddy because he had smashed his finger while working outside after he got home from work. Saturday morning, the Goodlett clan came for a visit. Mike made his famous chicken and rice for everyone and then the kids, sis – in – law and I went for a swim. We hung out the rest of the evening, ate pizza, and talked. The next day, they all got to attend church with us. We were excited because we had never had my sister-in-law and neice and nephew all at church with us together. We had a good time and then went to Ryan’s for dinner with both sides of our family. We ran into a preacher who use to pastor my old church and Zoey got to meet him. After passing out photos to everyone, they all packed up and left and Zoey and I rushed to get ready for church. <br />
<br />
The next day, my hubby and I headed to the doctor. My thyroid needed checked because it hadn’t been since I was pregnant! I know …. I was putting myself off. But ooooh the story behind that! Just wait until Zoey’s 8 month post to see what you find out! My hubby needed a shot and meds for his thumb. Afterwards, we headed to Knoxville to Dr. Weinstein’s office for our 2nd opinion. We stopped to eat at Don Pablos and then headed that way. Dr. Weinstein gave a totally different opinon than we had gotten at Shriner’s the week before. She had the same opinion of the others we had consulted with. She prescribed new splints for Zoey and sent us to someone that she recommended make them. We left full of hope and excited. After stopping for ice cream, we headed home.<br />

The next day was another trip. This time we headed towards Lexington for my mom’s annual stress test. I was really glad I got to go this year because I didn’t get to last summer due to my bed rest. I always try to attend any appointments that I can with my mom. She and I are best friends and I like to stay on top of her health. Zoey was the talk of the doctor’s office … that is after we completely changed clothes and got her cleaned up after another poopy diaper incident in the dark parking garage haha She was a hit! The nurses loved her! They kept saying that she was adorable and that her head and eyes were so perfectly round! Haha Zoey also met an old friend of mine’s aunt and uncle who just happened to be waiting for stress tests as well. Later, Aunt Sandy stopped by and kept Zoey while I went back with mom. Then we headed to mom’s follow-up visit after her surgery in May before heading out to eat. <br />

On July 21, we shopped with daddy. Mike and I finally bought the dining room table that we had been looking at for months after noticing that it was on sale and we also went ahead and got 2 carseats for Zoey to use after she outgrows this one. We went to look at the couch we are wanting but decided to wait on it for the moment so we could measure and see how we would arrange it. Zoey was awesome the entire time. She sat and played with the baby apps on my iPhone and was so friendly with the salesperson. While shopping she got to meet too of my former students as well!<br />
<br />
We spent Thursday relaxing at mom’s house and didn’t get to swim because of the storms rolling through the area. We went the next day to get Zoey’s new splints! We actually didn’t get them but she got fitted for them. We got to meet the nicest man that worked on them. He was filling in for the man that we were originally suppose to see. He was so nice to Zoey and was such a humble man who told us all about adopting his son and teared up over it. He was such a blessing to us and we later found out that he was a preacher. I could definitely tell because he definitely let his light shine. We left and went to Sam’s and Once Upon a Child and also ate at Olive Garden. Saturday we headed to Corbin to Dino’s to eat with mamaw and papaw before shopping and driving through the car lot just browsing around at vehicles I am looking at. <br />
<br />
July 25 we went to church and then headed to J.Milton’s for lunch. We ran into my best friend Danielle’s mom and brother and Zoey finally got to meet them. Zoey, as you remember, is Danielle’s namesake. It was wonderful for her to get to meet them. Verna carried Zoey around and was just so loving with her. I ended up having to box up my food because I felt so jittery and bad. Zoey and I took a nap when we got home that day and daddy kept a good check on us before we headed back to church that night. The next day it was really rainy so we didn’t get to swim again, so we watched a movie at mamaw’s house and rested. We did pretty much the same thing on Tuesday. <br />

Overall, Zoey had a great 7th month. I can’t believe we are on that downhill slide to her first birthday. It’s unreal that she is growing this fast!<br />

On December 10, feedings were resumed for Zoey. She started out at 5cc which is equivalent to 1 teaspoon every 3 hours! (She was still getting the IV nutrition as well). We had to slowly work our way up to 56cc's of milk. This same day, an echocardiogram was done. This was done because the doctors had thought that they had heard a heart murmur. The findings were normal, noting turbulent flow into the left branch pulmonary artery consistent with physiologic murmur. Her mean blood pressures ranged 43-64 mm Hg in the week before she got to go home. So, in other words, she had a normal murmur that lots of preemie babies have that can correct itself.<br />
<br />
During this time, one of our favorite night time nurses noticed a small lesion on Zoey's right posterior scalp. She noted this and a dermatologist came by the view it. He said that it looked traumatic in nature and recommended just observation. This seemed to maybe have happened from trauma such as maybe hitting her head on the isolette or during birth. (Likely the first choice.) We later finished up the observation with our peditrician Dr. Akasanya. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWWvaZ_0fOztw5vjir6LbHRjjMBGk3NEPIk_qs6Jm2LAY2dgM_YgNOvKZLMvVih-bXHtqfFfZC5l4_E673DLr-HIdJ538KL613MlZTTnLAScJF2DkLUuIRIoN4H_PFAoE7_R3KCEncmao/s1600/IMG_0008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWWvaZ_0fOztw5vjir6LbHRjjMBGk3NEPIk_qs6Jm2LAY2dgM_YgNOvKZLMvVih-bXHtqfFfZC5l4_E673DLr-HIdJ538KL613MlZTTnLAScJF2DkLUuIRIoN4H_PFAoE7_R3KCEncmao/s320/IMG_0008.JPG" /></a></div><br />

A few days after resuming her feedings, Zoey was moved out of the big NICU room and into a private NICU room in the area called "Dragon Fly Cove." Zoey was in room number 1 (obviously because she is #1 ; ) She got to sleep in a big girl crib (you know a hospital version of what she has at home and never sleeps in haha). It was really nice because instead of making a hundred trips to the pumping room and washing my pump parts at a common use NICU sink, I could pump and washing my pump parts in her room. I also had a recliner with a tray and there was an extra chair as well for mom or Michael or Dad. There were nights that we left that room at 2 am, just as we did with the big NICU area. It was also nice to be able to bond with my baby and be all alone instead of around all these people. Though, we really missed our NICU night nurses badly!<br />

During her stay in the big girl room, Zoey was visited by various therapists. This is done routinely with all NICU babies at UT. The Physical Therapist that visited worked with Zoey's feet and placed her in little baby splints which were absolutely adorable. Nurse Crystal called them her "Walking Boots" when she came to visit Zoey. They taught us how to do exercises with her feet and how to put the splints on. (We have since had all sorts of trouble with splints since she has gotten bigger and is able to kick them off.) They also put her hands in bilateral hand splints because they said she was holding her thumb inside of her hand too much. Am I crazy or do all babies do this? She wore them for awhile but not for long after we came home. She hated them and I couldn't see the point. <br />

Throughout our NICU stay, a dear student of mine was battling cancer. I had gotten tons of emails and phone calls to check on us and had found out that she was at Children's Hospital right down from the RMH we were staying at. I decided I wanted to go see her. We enjoyed it so! I took a picture of Zoey that the nurses had made for me and gave it to Sara. She loved it. She seemed to remember me and it was great to see her and her sweet momma. We enjoyed our fellowship together and it was nice to see folks from home. After alot of ups and downs, Sara is now cancer-free and home. Praise God!<br />

December 16 or 17, Zoey was observed by a Speech Therapist. Crazy, huh? We thought so, too. Apparently, they observe babies in order to watch how they take their bottle. Somehow that relates back to the whole speech thing. It was something new to me because I would have never made that connection. The young girl who did the observation made quite a few comments that Zoey wasn't taking her bottle the way she should. She explained about the suck, breathe, and swallow technique that Zoey would have been developing in the womb at that time. I had read about it before Zoey was ever born. Apparently, she thought that Zoey was not taking enough sucks before taking a breath. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhHHoZdYQOSOLD-3KwfFp_PDAWHBvCUqei63qqHYMFxvt4IlShFFfwTPVc87YjzA_OMFVYzdb5hY8U32-gOR50Kb64jckfBj6UzymEze3Xj7lxIJSKccskqxPtIDWC0xn6EmaWrcTCpw/s1600/100_0592.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrhHHoZdYQOSOLD-3KwfFp_PDAWHBvCUqei63qqHYMFxvt4IlShFFfwTPVc87YjzA_OMFVYzdb5hY8U32-gOR50Kb64jckfBj6UzymEze3Xj7lxIJSKccskqxPtIDWC0xn6EmaWrcTCpw/s320/100_0592.JPG" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Now let me add...I was extremely nice to everyone who was kind enough to help my daughter at the NICU, however, I got highly upset with this particular therapist. I was already very nervous when feeding Zoey because she would get strangled on her milk a least 3-4 times at every feeding and when she did the monitors would go wild because her heart rate would drop and all. The nurses would come check and say it was fine. However, I hated it. I was so scared that she would get strangled and I wouldn't be able to help her. So... if she needed a breath between sucks, I let her have it. I didn't count the sucks between each breath... my concern was making sure that she didn't get choked. The rule of thumb is that if it takes more than 30 minutes to feed the baby a bottle, they are burning more energy drinking it than they are getting from it. The therapist said that the short number of sucks between each breath meant that she wasn't close to term with that aspect yet and this we knew. She was 6 weeks and 1 day early! <br />
<br />

<br />
She also made various comments about how Zoey was sticking her tongue out to say she didn't want it and making faces and moving her hands to tell us she was finished. And then, she proceeded to toss almost a full bottle of my breast milk away because she said Zoey was finished. She finished by saying that maybe Zoey needed another feeding tube to just help encourage her along with her feedings. <br />
<br />
<br />
This was the silliest thing I had ever heard. I could feel my face heating up and I knew my mom was upset as well. I finally spoke up and said, "So I guess that means that we'll be staying even longer!" They could tell in my voice that I was NOT happy. She said that it would probably help us to go home sooner (No way that was true because then after a few days of the feeding tube, I'm sure we would have had to have a few days to get back to regular feedings and it would have probably delayed us at least a week!) She then left with one of the other NICU nurses and they discussed her findings outside Zoey's room with another lady. They kept glancing back into the room and I'm sure they could tell that we were staring a hole through them. <br />

My mom and I had planned to have lunch and go back to the RMH (I'll discuss later) to rest a bit because we were sooo worn out (and we had CPR training that night during our usual rest break) and after this whole drama scene... we only ended up eating downstairs in the cafe and trying to nap in the car. We wanted to be back up there for Zoey's next bottle to prove the point that she could drink her bottle ok (and she did!) I called my hubby and mom had called my dad while we were waiting. My husband was furious and said he wanted absolutely no more tubes put in Zoey unless they were absolutely necessary. I totally agreed!<br />

Now to all you speech therapists out there, I am not dismissing the connections with a baby's eating habit and later speech development. That's fine. But this particular therapist was completely off with her comments. How do I know? Because she observed 1 feeding and made suggestions based on that 1 feeding. Also, she made all these comments about Zoey going back on a feeding tube and how that would help not hinder. Well... Zoey did just fine NOT going on that feeding tube again and got to come home just a few days later. <br />

Also on December 16, Zoey was given the ALGO hearing screen. Both ears passed and it was recommended that we have follow-up audiologic testing in 6- 9 months due to risk factors posed from being a preemie and from the various antibiotics given to Zoey to treat her NEC that could cause hearing problems. <br />
<br />
Also on this day, Ms. Crystal (our night nurse from the big NICU room) came to visit. She called Zoey's splints her "walking boots." <br />

As Christmas neared, mom and I were antsy to get home. We were tired... no more like exhausted. It is so difficult to live out of suitcases, be away from your family (especially near Christmas), brave the bitter cold to come and go from here to there, eat fast food 24/7, live in the NICU for hours upon hours, plus have a brand new baby, be weak from having her and not be home to enjoy her. That was hard! But it was all so worth it. I will never forget the frigid temperatures at 2am when we were walking from the NICU to the car to go back to the Ronald McDonald house to stay. I will never forget how emotional I was. I would cry when my mom would go home on a Sunday, all the while knowing she'd be back on Monday morning. I'd then cry when my husband would leave to go home (his boss was great to let him come on Saturday night and stay until Tuesday night). I'd cry when my dad would leave from a visit. I cried because I missed my lil brother. I'd get weepy when my in-laws left. I just wanted all those that I loved in one place like it was at home. I was never left totally alone and I praise God for my wonderful family who made sure of that. <br />

On December 18, mom just out right asked Dr. Wright if we could go ahead and room in with Zoey. She had met all the guidelines for going home and rooming in with her parent was the next and final step. I was shocked when he said he thought that would be a good idea. Off we went, rushing around at Wal-Mart (in the cold rain) to get a cooler to transport my breast milk home in. Then we were gone to the RMH to clean up our room. I loaded the car (in the rain!) and we got to work. We had to clean our room and do all of our laundry for the next family that would be staying in room 13. As we washed the sheets, we watched Days of Our Lives in the family room downstairs. We couldn't stay in our room because they were putting new windows in. Back home, chaos was erupting as it poured the snow. I was told that the flakes were the biggest that my dad and brother had ever seen. We began to wonder if we would even be able to get home the next day. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgen9L5tG6H1kDZ0lg9z7BzvsQIYYyYfDZ00BCZEmqLbIYJ1hwb6PdfH0K_ltG_had5Tr5qnFMubEFSLzKTX6uz2Abh6EqmgRsVF8qbPQGk7aehzHyIuyT1OT0TKkPt8j-wf6VxQnrmuT8/s1600/100_0620.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgen9L5tG6H1kDZ0lg9z7BzvsQIYYyYfDZ00BCZEmqLbIYJ1hwb6PdfH0K_ltG_had5Tr5qnFMubEFSLzKTX6uz2Abh6EqmgRsVF8qbPQGk7aehzHyIuyT1OT0TKkPt8j-wf6VxQnrmuT8/s320/100_0620.JPG" /></a></div><br />
When we finished, I went to give our key back and was told to keep it until we left just in case we were to have to end up staying in Knoxville longer. So I took it with me to the hospital and we took our things up to Zoey's room.<br />

Not too much later, we were moved to a small, private hospital room. It was just us and Zoey. It was my first night taking care of her. No nurses would be in unless I called for them or unless it was during her feedings to bring me her breast milk. This was a difficult night because I was so worn out and it was so hard to get up every 3 hours with her. It wasn't like being at home and waiting for your baby to cry. You had to get up on schedule to feed and do all the monitoring of them including taking her temperature, taking splints off or putting them on (hands and feet), changing a diaper, feeding, burping, etc. I was exhausted already and that made this even more difficult. <br />

<br />
We awoke the next day feeling relieved that we had made it through the night without major problems. We were just Praying that her weight was still ok so that we could go home. She had to be gaining weight. It went well and she was going to be released. Now in the meantime we were keeping track of the bad weather that had hit back home. Even though it was calling for it in Knoxville, it didn't hit. All we had was a little rain. I called my husband and told him that it would be awhile before we left the hospital because they said that it usually took awhile. A few minutes later, the nurse came in and told us that it wouldn't be as long because they had started the paperwork ahead of time. I called my husband back and told him that we would be leaving shortly and I decided to bring Zoey home myself so that we wouldn't have to sit and wait for him to get there. He had had to work in the days before and wasn't already there with us. <br />
<br />
<br />
The task of me getting my daughter ready for her hospital pictures began. I washed her off and washed her hair with a cloth (we could only do so much because she was still attached to wires). I put on a yellow sleeper with tiny pink polka dots and a big, pink, satin bow. The nurses wouldn't allow us to take off the wires (which was strange because she came in right after the pictures and took them off) so we just left them on. The photographer did a great job with the pictures and hiding the wires. You couldn't even see them. Here are the pictures: <br />
<br />
I WILL ADD THESE AS SOON AS I LOCATE THE CD WITH THEM ON IT!<br />
After Zoey's pictures, we began to get Zoey's things gathered to go home. I decided to start loading the car. Wow! What a job! I didn't think it was going to all fit in my midsized sedan. You have to remember that we had 3 weeks worth of luggage as well... plus all of Zoey's things and things we had acquired (gifts, hospital stuff, etc.) I finally stuffed the trunk and got the cooler of breast milk (yea a whole cooler full!) in the front passenger floorboard. The car was stuffed to the gills and there was no spot left unfilled. Next came the task of putting the car seat base in. I know you are going to think I'm an idiot but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I was making it way too hard. I called my friend Deanna's sister, then my friend Kim, then Deanna's sister called me back. All the while, I was trying to force the thing in backward. I know people thought I was insane but I was so mentally exhausted that it seemed like I couldn't wrap my brain around something even that simple. I was freezing in the cold and crying. Once I actually turned it around, it fit perfect. I hooked the two straps to the hooks and then I even put the seat belt through to make it extra safe. Finally we were ready! <br />

I went back upstairs and was able to carry my baby out in her car seat. My mom drove the car around to pick us up and we were finally headed home with my new, baby girl.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0m2QDWkf-36nCD-21shNCe1B6EWU7Ke5rdcaD-JEU3iN32JR7OqiCGE9tGvo7-MmIw0q8IGvRajKWdMRkY94O5YJo7-VIQiby2I8WA9V1hrCbGxu2xtuDqVj9nvbw1AilWuAv5HbDIfg/s1600/100_0619.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0m2QDWkf-36nCD-21shNCe1B6EWU7Ke5rdcaD-JEU3iN32JR7OqiCGE9tGvo7-MmIw0q8IGvRajKWdMRkY94O5YJo7-VIQiby2I8WA9V1hrCbGxu2xtuDqVj9nvbw1AilWuAv5HbDIfg/s320/100_0619.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Mom and I switched out and I drove the entire way home. The interstate was ok until I hit Jellico mountain which looked like a winter wonderland. I just took my time and went slow. Zoey slept the entire way! She was a good traveling partner even then! Finally we were in Corbin. We drove by and picked up some pizza's for everyone and headed to my house where my hubby, brother, and daddy were waiting to unload the car and help us get in. My brother took Zoey immediately because he had never seen her before (only grandparents and parents were allowed back during this horrible flu season). My dad and hubby gathered all the stuff to bring in. We sat around and relaxed. I was exhausted, as was my mother. Zoey slept through most all of it. <br />
<br />
<br />
After everyone left, I leaned back on the couch with the recliner part out and held my baby girl on my chest. It was so perfect. I was so tired. I was so scared to fall asleep like that because I was afraid I would drop her or something as I slept. She was so tiny. So I put her in her bassinet and my hubby and I fell asleep beside her in our bed. That first night was a blur. I was so tired from the 3 weeks at the NICU that I was almost too tired to get up and down with her. It's hard enough as a new mom but after that experience and the exhaustion that comes with it, it was killer. I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. My mom and brother came over and mom and I went to work on her room. I had never gotten to finish it because I had went into labor at 32 weeks. The furniture was all ready because my hubby had taken care of that. The walls were painted and the border was up. The new flooring was finished but nothing was out. So we spent hours putting clothes in the drawers and closet (adding to those that was already there.... I had gifts of clothes and a whole garbage bag full of my nieces' clothes for Zoey. Thanks to my sis-in-law, they were washed and ready). We finished and I was worn out. <br />

I spent the remainder of my maternity leave with Zoey every minute of the day with the exception of a few hours here or there. We stayed indoors at home or indoors at mamaw's house and that was it. Zoey went nowhere else except to the doctor's office. (Her first appointment was the Wed. after she was released from the hospital, December 23.)<br />

There is one thing that I have left out (I'm sure there are more but this is a big one). We spent our 3 week stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Knoxville, Tn. I had never visited a RMH before and I was pleasantly surprised. Our room was beautiful, our bathrooms were beautiful, the entire house and grounds were beautiful. Everything was so well maintained and was so home like. The staff was so friendly and helpful. There was dinner cooked and delivered by various volunteers daily (even though we were rarely there on time for dinner because we stayed with Zoey so much) and they had anything you could need including batteries, shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, razors, detergent, baby detergent, dish washer, a kitchen to cook in, etc. You could just go get whatever you wanted from the pantry or the fridge at anytime. It was amazing! I could never thank the folks at RMH enough for their kindness and generosity. If any of you need a charity to support, this is definitely one to consider! I plan to do so myself. <br />

I was afraid that the miracle I was carrying in my womb was going to be gone. But God was faithful as He always is and He carried my blessed Zoey and I through that situation. His hand was upon her the entire time and continues to be. I could never praise Him enough for what He has done for my daughter and I. She is just wonderful to me and I feel so unworthy to be blessed so greatly. Thank you Precious Jesus for taking care of us and for the peace I was given during this storm a year ago today. Thank you for where we are now, where we've been, and where we're headed. Thank you for being a constant in a world full of change. Thank you for loving me, my family, and my baby girl. Most importantly, thank you for Saving my soul and the souls of my immediate family. I Pray for those who haven't accepted you to give their hearts to you and I Pray that you will Save my baby girl at an early age. Praise Jesus, we are so BLESSED!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">On the 29th, she spent the whole day with mamaw and a few hours with Uncle Billy while mommy and papaw worked on our swimming pool (emptying, cleaning, refilling from 12:30 pm -3:30am). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Zoey spent the 30th of May shopping with mommy and daddy for the very first time in Corbin. My husband and I don't often have a lot of time off at the same time, so it is a rarity that we get to go out shopping together (and he hates shopping so it usually has to include Lowe's, too). We had some things to get done so we ended up going out and we made a day of it. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On the 31st, Zoey went to town all by herself with mamaw and papaw for the first time while mommy was at work. After work, we headed straight home to let daddy in because he had locked himself out when leaving for work that morning. Zoey and mommy took a big nap (5:45-8:45 for mommy and Zoey slept until 9:30). The next day, Zoey and I ended up spending the night at mamaw's house. Mamaw had surgery just a week or so prior and she needed someone to stay with her to help her up and down and Uncle Billy was staying with daddy to go fishing early the next morning. Zoey and I got there at about 11:30pm. The next evening, Zoey and I napped at mamaw's because we were tired from all the rushing around to get there the night before. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On June 3, the last day of school for students, I had to leave work a bit early to head to an appointment in Middlesboro with Zoey and mamaw. Mamaw was still feeling really bad so afterward, she sat in the car with Zoey and I ran into Wal-Mart to get a shower gift for our neighbor who is getting married and some groceries. I felt really bad and ended up getting deathly ill after making it to mamaw's house. My head was pounding and I was nauseated. Zoey and I made it home. Daddy came in to help and made me some oatmeal because nothing else sounded good. I ate a bit of it, changed Zoey and we were asleep in minutes. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On June 4, the last day of school for me, Zoey went to school with me after our annual breakfast. Mamaw, Billy, and I took Zoey around and she met all sorts of new friends aka my coworkers. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">She got a little scared because everyone was talking loud and crowded all around her for a few minutes (plus she was sleepy) but after a nap, she was good to go. After leaving the school, we headed to the get pool chemicals and to take 6 month pics (plus pics of Zoey, Mamaw, and I). Later, Zoey hung out with mamaw while mommy, daddy, and papaw worked on the pool filter. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We worked on the pool a bit more and then ran out to eat at KFC before visiting Wal-Mart. Zoey and I came home and she rested as I showered and packed. We left for Louisville at around 2:00 to visit with our family. We arrived in Richmond to pick up daddy and were on our way. That night, Granny took mommy and Zoey shopping at Kohl's. Zoey got 3 new toys and some new clothes. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next day, we attended church at Victory Baptist. Wow! What a story that was. Let's see... in a nutshell.... Zoey pooped in church. I took her out to change her. Had to change her on the bathroom sink and a little girl dropped soap and it got into Zoey's hair. I washed it out the best I could (this is after another lady rubbed Zoey's face BEFORE washing her hands!). When I picked Zoey up, she puked all down the front of my clothes and hers. I reached for our last baby wipe and dropped it in the floor so I had to use paper towels. We sat in the vestibule for a few minutes to gather ourselves and she puked on one of the chairs so I had to go retrieve paper towels and soap for that as well. Leave it to us!</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aunt Fefe and kids and Aunt Carrie came over to see us. Aunt Fefe brought Zoey and outfit and a goody bag (Hello Kitty bag filled with stuff) and Aunt Carrie brought Zoey about 6 or 7 new outfits. We hung out at granny's house until late and then headed home. After a pit stop in Richmond to get my car (and the biggest poop Zoey had had up to date), we headed to our house. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">June 7, we headed back to Lexington to take mamaw to her appointment.

We ate at the food court and then headed home. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

She looked like she was wearing little, green, elf boots! That night I fell asleep with Zoey at 8:30 and woke up at 3:30am. I got up, finished laundry, and put all Zoey's clothes up. I didn't go back to sleep until 6am and Zoey woke up a bit after 8. We spent the next day eating at Pizza Hut with papaw and the family since we wouldn't see him for 5 days, packing, and napping. </span><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On June 13, Zoey headed out at 5am to pick up the rest of the family and head to the beach. It was hilarious because she had no idea why we were waking her up int he middle of the night and definitely no idea why we were going bye-bye. She kept looking at us so puzzled. She traveled really well. We stopped for breakfast at Shoney's at 9am and she ate and was changed then and then she slept and played until we arrived at a gas station about an hour from the beach. She got out again there and then at Wal-Mart when we got our groceries. She hung out with daddy in the store while I shopped. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg356Q_8N-O3zR8tXgvSYk8wRi0y9nnx12cHUxcxKJRHSCBGj2TEpwLDljI0RUZBi1nHYk9l344Zitj1JB75U8IwNpdNLXLPtTudBorK4YjKpMDVN2cgsj_5AlyA4pi_LTPKIRtbpQVmco/s1600/DSCN0088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg356Q_8N-O3zR8tXgvSYk8wRi0y9nnx12cHUxcxKJRHSCBGj2TEpwLDljI0RUZBi1nHYk9l344Zitj1JB75U8IwNpdNLXLPtTudBorK4YjKpMDVN2cgsj_5AlyA4pi_LTPKIRtbpQVmco/s320/DSCN0088.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Zoey's 1st time seeing the Ocean!!!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJp0E1pQLwAvA42-RxrX1BrQGpqIaosZcLaf8f0MLecEz0mTOpXpzb01_IpBA-CcW6pl6OoMTldm3F8BciEpBKYG2DxoOReL9Yxo7W-BkR6lZWM6lWk-IG9f9rZFe5p1mbRaRyF6X0p-Y/s1600/DSCN0193.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJp0E1pQLwAvA42-RxrX1BrQGpqIaosZcLaf8f0MLecEz0mTOpXpzb01_IpBA-CcW6pl6OoMTldm3F8BciEpBKYG2DxoOReL9Yxo7W-BkR6lZWM6lWk-IG9f9rZFe5p1mbRaRyF6X0p-Y/s320/DSCN0193.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">It was soooo hot.... already 103 degrees and we stayed on the beach all of about 5 minutes before heading back to the pool. Zoey was a little scared of the waves as they rushed up and she was burning up. Back at the pool, we got into a float and floated around the lazy river. She loved this and we continued to float for about an hour. Then we went to the indoor pool (which connected to the outdoor). She was a little scared at first but she warmed up rather quickly and really enjoyed herself. </span><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The last night we were at the beach, June 17, we decided to spend the entire day at the hotel and just order dinner in. After dinner Zoey, Michael and I headed to the ocean. My husband is a redhead and so the beach is no fun for him until the sun has gone for the day or he gets blistered. This is the same guy who can get burned by a window in January! Zoey and I sat at the edge of the ocean and let the waves come up over our legs and feet. This was Zoey’s first chance to relax and enjoy the ocean without all the crowds, the heat, and the direct sunlight. She was a little nervous at first but she did okay. I sat there and watched the waves and talked to my baby girl about Jesus. I always think about the awesomeness of God when I look at the ocean and this year I had even more reason to think about that awesomeness as I held my darling daughter in front of the ocean. A few minutes later I watched Zoey dig her hands in the sand and then she started eating her hands! It had to happen eventually but of course that was enough for me. We sat there a few minutes more and I kept trying to wash her hands off in the water. We ended up just going to the outdoor shower and then hitting the pool. By this time, Michael was back at the pool with us and we all swam around and played together. Zoey started getting cold so I got her out and left my husband to play football in the pool with my brother and friend Seth. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We left at 6:05am Friday the 18th, five minutes later than planned because as we got into the car, Zoey pooped. HAHA She did really well on the trip. We stopped at around 10am to have breakfast in Spartanburg at a McDonalds. While we were eating, Zoey pooped again. So we had two dirty diapers changed in the front seat of the Navigator in one morning. LoL After that stopped, we came straight home. Zoey did really well. She slept most of the way and didn’t start to get whiney and upset until we were about an hour away. My mom entertained her and then I did after we dropped mom off. We were so tired when we got home at 2:30pm and Zoey and her daddy were both asleep quickly. I was busy catching up on things, unpacking, and doing laundry. Then I finally had to lay down with Zoey because she was exhausted and kept waking up crying for me. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next day, we went to Applebees with mamaw, papaw, and Uncle Billy because we hadn’t spent time with papaw since before the beach and he missed his “Zoky” tremendously. We had a good time and relaxed after that when we went home. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mike’s first Father’s Day was also baby dedication day at our church. I have a post dedicated to just this day already on my blog. <a href="http://ontheoutidelookingin.blogspot.com/2010/06/zoeys-baby-dedication-mikes-1st-fathers.html">Click here to revisit it.</a> </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On June 21, Zoey’s lil toes found her mouth for the very first time. Tuesday, she also had a gargle sound in her throat for the very first time. It was also the day that Zoey swam in our pool for the first time. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Mommy, mamaw, and Zoey went swimming for a few hours and had a good time. She also had her biggest, poopy diaper ever after her nap on the couch. I’ll spare you the details. Haha Also, Zoey met Kalee, a sweet girl that I spent tons of time with over the past 6 years. Kalee is the daughter of my mom’s neighbors and was one of my students in 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. She and I bonded a lot when she was in 2nd grade. She spent the night with me and we learned Christian songs to sing in the car. We went shopping for Care Bears and went to the movies. She is such a sweet girl and it was such a blessing to see her with my daughter because she was one of reasons that I wanted a daughter so much. She spent about 2 hours visiting with us and we enjoyed it thoroughly. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOK2PifV5QIETCsrTPRnSwAFL4u9bntKUQXO6_lAutQYGhLymIaNM7qCH9RM5o83DYM9yMwm50iXHFg_pofe1U_VoQHFW4ktcYYgOOmw8aMfUlNPTPMeOXy1c0Me_21KknoBkdAKlCwg/s1600/DSCN0233.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicOK2PifV5QIETCsrTPRnSwAFL4u9bntKUQXO6_lAutQYGhLymIaNM7qCH9RM5o83DYM9yMwm50iXHFg_pofe1U_VoQHFW4ktcYYgOOmw8aMfUlNPTPMeOXy1c0Me_21KknoBkdAKlCwg/s320/DSCN0233.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkUuNaejxqmnKCiaXh_aW5KBCy1MvArs1cUqBs0riAuEOg4Y6-gKFWhXs2Df2q6gwaGgJ5gffnZOYZjwjL_igS8dXOPCqsCj97v4NGJl4UMdIGGmviyLHge6SffOx-j9GH2W7WSKdBno/s1600/DSCN0241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCkUuNaejxqmnKCiaXh_aW5KBCy1MvArs1cUqBs0riAuEOg4Y6-gKFWhXs2Df2q6gwaGgJ5gffnZOYZjwjL_igS8dXOPCqsCj97v4NGJl4UMdIGGmviyLHge6SffOx-j9GH2W7WSKdBno/s320/DSCN0241.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next day we went swimming with mamaw and Uncle Billy again. Later Zoey took a nap and then watched me wash bottles from the counter in her Bumbo seat. It was a good thing that she got to relax that evening because the next day brought 6 month shots (3!) and a splint appointment. We ended up spending the night at mamaw and papaw’s house that night because Zoey’s legs were sore and she was miserable after her shots. This was a first because she usually does well and just gets a bit whiny. Zoey was 26 inches long and weighed 15.1 lbs!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Dr. A also made us an appointment for <a href="http://www.shrinershq.org/hospitals/Lexington">Shriner’s Hospital</a> so that Zoey can get some more help with her feet. (Positional issue not clubbed feet) We laid around at mamaw’s the next day and then saw daddy when we went home that night after he got off work.

It was outdoors at the park at 3:30pm and boy was it ever hot. I had worried about Zoey because she had felt so bad with the shots but she was feeling better that morning to we ended up going. She did well other than sweating too death like the rest of us. We went to the reception at the lodge afterwards (ahhh! AC) and stayed until 7:15. Zoey enjoyed seeing Tina and Kim, two of my dear friends. She also enjoyed getting to meet everyone else including all the neighbors.

</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zoey attended the funeral of <a href="http://www.binghamtown.org/">Mae Bingham, our pastor’s mother</a>, the next day. This was a historic and humbling experience because Mae was a wonderful woman and was a huge part of her husband W.B. Bingham’s ministry which has been a huge blessing to our community as well as all the other communities that are reached through the TV and Radio ministries. It was an honor to attend. Zoey got to see Preacher Bingham and family as we walked through the line and got to meet Dawsyn, my brother’s boss’ lil girl. It was a sweet moment and we enjoyed it. That night we went swimming with daddy (after momma had cleaned all evening and Zoey had wanted to go to each room with me) and then took a bath for bed. </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

My baby girl had an interesting month. She turned 5 months old on April 28. 5 months already! Hard to fathom! On her 5 month birthday, we took Zoey to have her splints readjusted again. She was nicknamed "Houdini" because it took 3 hours to adjust these splints and she still found a way back out of them. Zoey is starting to stay awake more in the car. The next day, after a big nap at mamaw's with mommy, Zoey stayed awake in the backseat the etnire way home. She was so good and just amused herself.<br />
<br />
The next day, Granny and Pa came to visit from Louisville. We had a great tiem talkingn with them. On this night, Zoey started sucking her lip for the very first time. It was so adorable! The next day, granny and pa left to head back to Louisville and I called them to come back after calling Mike to see if he wanted to go there for a visit. Zoey and I travelled with them to Luoisville for her 2nd trip. Later on in the evening, Aunt Carrie came over and she and I went to the health food store and bought organic polish to do Zoey's toes. Soo Zoey had her first pedicure on May 1. This was also the very first time that I had ever left her for a few hours with her Louisville family. (Can you tell I hate leaving my baby girl? It has nothing to do with me trusting my family here or in Louisville... I just really like to have her with me : )<br />

Since I had planned this trip on the spur of the moment, we had to ride home in daddy's yellow GTO instead of the Navigator. The GTO is not really the friendliest car for a baby but we made it work. Zoey was all cozy but mommy didn't love climbing in and out of a 2 door sports car from the backseat. This was, however, Zoey's first ride in the GTO. She was tuckered out from playing with her cousins Lea and Alec that day so she slept well the whole way home. <br />
<br />
The next day, Zoey and I were both worn out. We hung out at mamaw's house all evening, which we do a lot, after I got off work. We did the same thing on May 4 and even took a short nap after I got home from my annual CATS training at work. During this week, Zoey found her toes with her fingers for the first time. <br />

Not long until she'll have them to her mouth. On May 5, Zoey and I were so tuckered out that we both went to bed at 7:30 pm. It was nice to get some extra rest. The next day, we went to Uncle Billy's awards ceremony at SECC. It was really nice for me to take my girl with me to SECC because I absolutely loved my time there. So many folks diss this college but I loved it and there are some good, informative, even hard classes there just like anywhere else. Ok... I will come down from my soapbox now... hmm ok... so since I had gotten Zoey up at 3:30am (she went right back to sleep) to change her diaper (because we had went to bed so early the night before) she was a little tired. She got super sleepy in the ceremony so I ended up pacing the campus of SECC until the ceremony was almost over. My former professor told me I needed to go back in and winked, meaning my brother was up next. I was glad I did. He won the final award of the night, Freshman of the Year! I was so proud of him. I had gotten Sophmore of the Year there when they first started giving those awards! He's such a good guy! Tonight, Zoey had also met her cousins Michelle, John, and Tyler for the very first time along with Ms. Miracle, Georgenia, Mr. Simpson, and a few others from my college years.<br />
<br />
Thank God for Fridays! This Friday we spent doing retakes at Carolyn Davis' studio. Zoey had thrown a fit (tired and teething but still no teeth!) the time before for her 5 month photos and so we were trying to get some more this time. It was great! She did so well and I was so glad because I was exhausted from CATS kickoff at my work that day. We took 21 awesome photos and I narrowed them down to 16. Saturday the 8th, we spent the day shopping in Corbin with mamaw. We bought Zoey a new bathing suit, 2 new sunhats, an umbrella stroller, seat cover, etc. I was glad to get some of those things out of the way.<br />

Zoey got new splints on Monday the 10th of May and still managed to get out of them. What to do, what to do! I spent all morning Tuesday on the phone for an insurance audit in my state trying to get a copy of Zoey's birth certificate to prove she's mine. Forty-five dollars and 4 hours later, the certificate was on it's way. Meanwhile, Zoey spent the day swinging in her new swing at mamaw and papaw's house. Now she gets to swing at home and there! Zoey loves to swing!<br />
<br />
Zoey and I came home at 6:30pm on the 13th to hang out with daddy. I was glad to have time to catch up that day as well and managed to do 3 loads of laundry, bottles, and shower! I had an appointment at 3pm the next day and then I went back to my mom's house where Zoey and I napped. I am so blessed to have such a good sleeper! I spent the evening looking at the baby food someone had given me. Not much longer til Zoey gets to start eating it!<br />
<br />
I finished packing, doing laundry, and bathed Zoey on Friday the 14th for a trip to Muffresboro, Tn with Mike and Zoey. My husband had earned a trip to Nashville's Opryland Hotel, which was flooded by this time, and it had been moved to the outskirts of Nashville. We were to stay in the Embassy Suites (nice!) and attend a nice, ballroom dinner (brought back memories *sigh* my days of representing in college) and get to use Clayton dollars to bid at an auction. Zoey enjoyed the nice king sized bed and pillows. She and I laid there for a bit before getting ready for the party. We also jumped around on the bed for awhile, which she loved! We had a good time and my husband won a trip to drive a NASCAR and won a camera for me! I was glad because I had broken my other one. All in all, Zoey attended her first dinner party, first road trip, first hotel stay, first trip with just mommy and daddy, etc.!<br />

</div>The 15th was also a big day for me as it was the day that I finally turned my rented breast pump back in. Now my girl had been getting formula for awhile but I was still giving her every drop of breast milk that I could, which wasn't much at this point and finally I decided that since it took all day to make 1 decent bottle, it was time to hang it up. I cried as I fed her the final bottle of my milk that morning but I felt awesome knowing that I had stuck with it that long and had helped her so much! Thanks be to God for taking the little I made and making much of it for her. It was neat to see the NICU when I turned it back in at UT because that's where I had to return it to. <br />

We spent the next day shopping at Target (I love Target!) and some shops at The Avenue. We drove back to Knoxville and stopped at my hubby's favorite place, Mr. Gatti's to eat. As we left, it began to pour the rain and it did so the entire way to our exit for home. I got drenched when we stopped to go to the bathroom right outside of Knoxville. Zoey looked adorable. It was her first time wearing shorts!<br />
<br />
I went to work the next day and then rested with Zoey at mom's house. It was mom's first time seeing Zoey after going 48+ hours without seeing her (other than her Lville times). I was off on the 17th and so we went to Lexington with mom for a pre-op visit. It was a cold and a stressful day for me. So much to do and so little time to do it all to get ready for mom's surgery. Zoey bonked her head on her swing and got her first little tiny bruise (you could barely see it). My poor little girl is a wiggly worm! We were suppose to head back to Lexington on Wednesday but mom decided that she would rather just get up early and head down the morning of her surgery (hysterectomy ... she'd had a partial before but was having her ovaries removed this time due to the cancer history and connection to ovarian cancer with my aunt and great grandmother). So we spent Wednesday evening hanging around mom's (as usual) and got some surprise visitors. Our dear firends Tina and Kim stopped by to meet Zoey. It was so nice for them to finally get to meet my girl and to talk with us. Zoey felt bad but enjoyed seeing them.<br />
<br />
We headed to Lexington the next day for the surgery. It made for a really lonnnng day. What was suppose to be an outpatient surgery ended up becoming a full blown operation that took 4.5 hours instead of 1.5. I was so sick to my stomach while waiting. Zoey did well. We sat in the very back waiting room with my aunt, dad, and brother. Zoey enjoyed the fish aquarium and getting passed from each one of us. We went up to see mom after the surgery in room 5229 and Zoey didn't know what to think. She is not use to seeing mamaw laying around. My mom can't sit still because she aches all the time. She was this time due to her major surgery, soreness, and 20 staples plus incisions from the laproscopic part that the surgery started out being. Since she was spending the night, Zoey and I stayed at my aunt's house while my brother stayed at the hospital assuming my usual role of caretaker for my mom. Zoey enjoyed seeing Aunt Sandy and Uncle Craig along with all the furry felines (though she only saw them from momma's arms).<br />

The next day we picked mom up from the hospital (the doctor actually let her leave) and headed to fill prescriptions and have lunch before heading home. Zoey and I ended up spending the night and the next night with mom in order to help her out. She began chilling the night we got her home so I gave her meds and covered her up. She had overdone it. Zoey was tired, too, so after her bath she went to sleep as well. We came home for a few hours on Saturday the 22nd to see daddy before heading back to mom's. I worked on bottles while Zoey hung out with her daddy. We spent the whole day Sunday at mom's house as well just helping her out with laundry, helping her get bandages off, get a shower, dry her hair, etc. Zoey enjoyed playing with papaw aka pappy while mommy helped mamaw with all this.<br />
<br />
The next day I headed back to work for the first time since before mom's surgery. I was exhausted and had a tummy ache. Zoey spent the day with Uncle Billy who would be babysitting her for the next two weeks. She had a blast. That night, I read Zoey one of the two books we had gotten as a baby gift that day from a friend. She enjoyed them thoroughly. Tuesday the 25th of May, Zoey and I took a nap at mamaw's and I gave Zoey a bath there as well. We headed to Lexington the next day for mom's follow-up appointment. She was doing well but in pain. We ate in the car, since she was still aching from having the staples out, and Zoey enjoyed some sleep. I pulled over about 40 minutes from home and had to change a lovely diaper and then mom and Zoey hung out in the car while I picked up a few groceries at Wal-Mart. We came home from mom's house at 8pm that evening.<br />
<br />
Zoey's last day as a 5 month old was pretty uneventful. She hung out with me at mamaw's after work while I did laundry and dishes for mom. We came home and I read one of her gifts "Are You My Mother?" to her and we were both fast asleep. I can't believe my little baby is growing up so fast! <br />
<br />
Extras: including .... still getting baby gifts, Zoey's hula gal outfit, bath time, Zoey's bathing suit from before momma knew she was a girl, bathing suit bought at Target in Mufreesboro, Tn, 1st time in purple jacket, playing under jungle gym at mamaw and papaw's (she loves this!), one of Zoey's last times being swaddled (in TN).<br />

This was my husband's first Father's Day along with Baby Dedication day at our church. It was a wonderful day. Zoey was dressed in a solid white dress with a couple of pink/purple flowers on the left hand side. She wore a pink headband and bow on her head to match the flowers and light pink <br />
shoes (newborn size finally!) She was perfect!<br />
<br />

We got to church right on time (we weren't a few minutes early like I like to be). Our pastor called all the babies who had never been dedicated up to the front and talked about the importance of raising children in a Christian home.<br />
<br />
<br />
He also presented them with a certificate committing the parents (we sign) and him as the pastor (he signed) to raising this child up in the Lord. It also contained a beautiful poem. <br />

After the service, I took Zoey up to have her picture made with our pastor to celebrate her baby dedication. I didn't realize but I had my camera on landscape mode so the pictures look slightly strange but nevertheless, I did get them. <br />

<i>Dear Heavenly Father,</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Thank you for such an opportunity! Thank you for my baby girl! She is beautiful and precious. She is all that I could have ever hoped for and dreamed of. She has the sweetest spirit even as a small child. She has a beautiful countenance. Her big, beautiful eyes just dance with joy and that joy comes from You. She came directly from your arms to ours. How blessed beyond measure we are! Please continue to bless us with opportunities to help her grow in You. Remind us of this blessing daily, in the easy moments and those that are far from easy. Remind us of the commitment we have to raise her to know all about your wonderful Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ. Let us never forget this honor that has been bestowed upon us. Thank you Father for your gifts, for your love, and for being the most amazing Father the world has ever known. Happy Father's Day to you Heavenly Father! </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Love,</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Your Daughter</i><br />
<br />
<br />
We are blessed, honored, and humbled by the chance to raise this beautiful baby girl. God has blessed us with her and words could never express the miracle she is in our lives. She has been through so much in her short life already.... so much more than most children face for years! But she is tough and God has watched her through it all. In His arms she has resided and she is blessed as are we! <br />

As I mentioned, I got to feed Zoey her very first bottle. It was formula. I had debated back and forth between breastfeeding and formula. I had decided that if she really needed my milk, I would breastfeed. But when she came out as such a big preemie, I just figured that it wouldn't be needed probably. Lesson learned!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA4yjKlonJTJE2biS5itsUUKyyrI0-NdLuBHPpG-UxM5dqLGDGgBRqHEW7-_poM5Oma8Fm3lEyQlA9e_2xkuu-UrW3QOFqHbIZsQOUB4jhvvAjqyQUWw5a4pklmnC7uRxBRhIk3VUpTKg/s1600/100_0354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA4yjKlonJTJE2biS5itsUUKyyrI0-NdLuBHPpG-UxM5dqLGDGgBRqHEW7-_poM5Oma8Fm3lEyQlA9e_2xkuu-UrW3QOFqHbIZsQOUB4jhvvAjqyQUWw5a4pklmnC7uRxBRhIk3VUpTKg/s320/100_0354.JPG" /></a></div><br />
I could beat myself up for what happened to Zoey and I did at first but the doctor's reassured me that it wasn't my fault. My milk supply hadn't even came in yet so therefore I couldn't have fed her my milk during the first few feedings. You see, Zoey developed what is referred to as NEC. NEC stands for Necrotizing enterocolitis. <br />
<br />
<i>Necrotizing enterocolitis usually called NEC, is a condition where the intestines become infected and can begin to die. The disease usually affects premature babies, although term babies may also get NEC. NEC is a serious condition that may require surgery, and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. -- from About.com</i><br />
<br />
Why she developed the disease is unknown. They were amazed that she had it because she was such a big preemie and was so healthy looking. Actually that's the reason it almost went unnoticed. <br />
<br />
The morning after Zoey was born, I went into the NICU (right down from my room) to feed my baby girl. I was so excited and amazed that I was the mother of this intricate, little being and couldn't wait to get ahold of her. My mom had spent the night with me while my hubby had taken his family to find a hotel really late the night before. Mom and I went back to see Zoey. I got to feed her again and just look at her. She was perfect. Even her little feet that were turned in because of my small uterus... they were even perfect. The doctor told us that they would straighten right out and that it was just a positional thing. Her little fingers and toes...her little ears...perfect, little lips....big, blue eyes... everything was just perfect.<br />

I noticed that she had been spitting up some. It did look dark but I had never had a baby before and it had been years for my mom so we didn't think anything of it. The nurse told us that Zoey had had her first bowel movement. She said it was not very much but she didn't seem concerned. We spent some time with Zoey and then went back to my room.<br />

</div>My husband along with my mother and sister-in-law came over. They brought me some Japanese. I remember I was so hungry that day. It was crazy! They stayed around and talked with us some and then went and visited with Zoey. Well... my sister-in-law tried anyway... she got kicked out. There was a strict parents and grandparents only policy because of the early start of the flu season thanks to H1N1. After they had visited awhile, they packed up to head home 5.5 hours away.<br />
<br />
After they had left, it was just my mom, hubby and I ... my dad, brother, aunt and uncle had went home the night before. We sat around, watched TV, ate, talked, saw Zoey various times, etc. We had such a good time...it was sort of like the night I had been rushed to the ER for the massive bleed....except more calm. My mom and husband always crack each other up so they are fun to listen to.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5h7tlDYIDGLN5qR6xzy-5wO9W-WQj_k-FGffOXLhqxwAzvkznabVdVd9maOGI_80emskzu0HV8y_wLC7vQRP0JH-uNJwuqLMcVwDhiT8ULgnR_-k0zBvjQO-Et3TYGysQI8xEbO3Ahk/s1600/100_0376.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim5h7tlDYIDGLN5qR6xzy-5wO9W-WQj_k-FGffOXLhqxwAzvkznabVdVd9maOGI_80emskzu0HV8y_wLC7vQRP0JH-uNJwuqLMcVwDhiT8ULgnR_-k0zBvjQO-Et3TYGysQI8xEbO3Ahk/s320/100_0376.JPG" /></a></div><br />
They had ended up placing a feeding tube in Zoey's stomach to help her eat. She was premature and was having a hard time wanting to eat so they felt this would help her the first few days. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVQDQVyJ5e8fb_VYUJ22_ph0uNN8CKccJ6Y9fhyphenhyphengR2oLYImc5Q_G1m9pb1yohenp0wqfw0lndtV4drTfm1wL7ufSYc5OSBGECnhQ3D-OpzZhEXAB0JUnuZ9JoAFhRRnq1pSSYXZ_E-A8/s1600/100_0374.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVQDQVyJ5e8fb_VYUJ22_ph0uNN8CKccJ6Y9fhyphenhyphengR2oLYImc5Q_G1m9pb1yohenp0wqfw0lndtV4drTfm1wL7ufSYc5OSBGECnhQ3D-OpzZhEXAB0JUnuZ9JoAFhRRnq1pSSYXZ_E-A8/s320/100_0374.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Later that night, we met our nighttime NICU nurse Crystal. She told us that she was worried about Zoey because she had changed her diaper and she had pooped a lot. The problem was that it was very, very foul smelling in a way different than just a stinky diaper. She said that it also had blood in it. That was enough to scare us too death. I told her that the nurse earlier didn't say any of that and didn't seem concerned but I could tell she was. She got Dr. Bass, one of the neonatolgist to come over and check her out. He didn't seem concerned. He said that she probably just swallowed some blood during delivery. He asked if I had abrupted... funny... we wanted to know that, too! He said we'd watch her closely until morning. After he left, Crystal looked kind of shocked that he wasn't that concerned. <br />
<br />
The next morning, we went into the NICU to hear from the daytime nurse that they had ordered X-rays for Zoey's bowels. Crystal had told the morning nurse that she just felt like something wasn't right with Zoey (THANK GOD SHE WENT ON HER INSTINCTS!) The morning nurse reported it to the next doctor, Dr. Burnett and she had ordered the X-rays. We still didn't know what they were looking for but we knew that it could be serious. The X-rays were done pretty quickly right at Zoey's bedside but it took forever to get the test results back. I know we probably aggravated Dr. Burnett but we were so worried. We kept waiting on her to come out and when she didn't we requested that the nurse ask her to come see us.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeIXtldxn44n7KkvC8fWyFf09djV9BagJ52WVKD-tT63K3OGacm64WzwacjnFug_NQsdDIMTD-ZRUn6x7jfgRrVkvcyfKPvm0oleo418dc3AEe5x8OJsiYFigg3GLO6l0eOW_dAxkMcE/s1600/100_0589.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPeIXtldxn44n7KkvC8fWyFf09djV9BagJ52WVKD-tT63K3OGacm64WzwacjnFug_NQsdDIMTD-ZRUn6x7jfgRrVkvcyfKPvm0oleo418dc3AEe5x8OJsiYFigg3GLO6l0eOW_dAxkMcE/s320/100_0589.JPG" /></a></div><br />
(Meanwhile, Zoey was also being treated with phototherapy for Jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). This continued from November 30 until December 4. It was noted that Zoey's blood type is A+. Her bilirubin level was 11.1 mg/dl on Dec. 1 and was 3.4/0.4 mg/dl on the 14th of December.)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-VqvjH-UJo3_asASDYgkmSNt759_hkW4bMMv1WWESa8Ul1lySqjHHXxggJ_15ZGfkCBF_s2M81_lz8EXEkkHBvq38bZDPmrfjknISXTp883o2rH-1NoyMcjUUNQPfM35DsOI1vHDwDY/s1600/100_0398.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH-VqvjH-UJo3_asASDYgkmSNt759_hkW4bMMv1WWESa8Ul1lySqjHHXxggJ_15ZGfkCBF_s2M81_lz8EXEkkHBvq38bZDPmrfjknISXTp883o2rH-1NoyMcjUUNQPfM35DsOI1vHDwDY/s320/100_0398.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6WrSEfcwMAEeGUjLimiMZKwqKW2ZK6W7qV0bWKxBCjiJAsb3jNRxd9NF8rpiuJSet-G-Bk9LNv0MtdG6ByQMvvyyeYi8tx05eIKNKaIqwb-QcqAhT0uFWXAjKEZ1U4BEzHvMjH9Uucs/s1600/100_0401.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE6WrSEfcwMAEeGUjLimiMZKwqKW2ZK6W7qV0bWKxBCjiJAsb3jNRxd9NF8rpiuJSet-G-Bk9LNv0MtdG6ByQMvvyyeYi8tx05eIKNKaIqwb-QcqAhT0uFWXAjKEZ1U4BEzHvMjH9Uucs/s320/100_0401.JPG" /></a></div><br />
Finally, she did and it wasn't good. She said Zoey's X-rays had shown air bubbles in her bowels and pneumatosis intestinalis involving the left mid abdominal loops of bowel. That was a sign of NEC. She explained that NEC was extremely serious and that a lot of babies die from it. Her X-rays continued to confirm that she had Stage II Necrotizing Enterocolitis. '''She was very stern with the news and I was kind of irritated that she wasn't very comforting. I think she wanted us to know how serious it was. She said they would take Zoey off her feedings, which were now going through a feeding tube because she was having a hard time taking it all, and let her bowels rest for 7-10 days plus they would start IV fluids to help nourish her and antibiotics in case of bacteria. The feeding tube was taken out as well. <br />
<br />
Zoey had already had an IV in her hand from some meds they had given her prior to this. They decided that since she was going to have to be treated for so long, a PICC line would be better because it would last longer without infection than a regular IV. They decided to do that later that day.<br />
<br />
<span id="goog_823677330"></span><span id="goog_823677331"></span><br />
We had decided before all the news that we would go home and get packed for the NICU stay. We were told we'd be there for a week or two at first but after this news we were unsure of when we'd ever get to take Zoey home. It broke our hearts to leave. I was an emotional wreck. I cried so hard in my room as my nurses came to release me. I cried even harder as we went down the elevator and down the long hall to our car. I even stopped and was snubbing like a small child. It killed me to leave my heart upstairs. And even though I knew she was really sick...I still didn't realize just how quickly it could get worse or I would have never left her. We got in the car and headed toward the Ronald McDonald house to get our room that our nurse had set up for us. I was just going through the motions. I called about Zoey and found out that they were working on her PICC line. It broke my heart to think about it. It seemed as though it took forever to get signed in and I couldn't stop staring into space wondering about my baby girl. Finally, after a tour and getting our things put in our room, we headed toward home. I was in and out the entire way home from being so tired.<br />
<br />
When we got off the interstate, I called back to check on Zoey. The nurse said they had just finished with the PIC line and that it had been rough. It had taken 3 hours! I knew that meant that she had fought them screaming and crying. I wished that I could have held her hand but that wasn't allowed. I couldn't have stayed with her. It killed me. We were hungry, but I didn't feel like eating. I didn't say much ... just that I wanted to hurry. We stopped at Mr. Gatti's (my husband's favorite) and ate quickly. I couldn't eat any of the cinnamon sticks because I could remember how much Zoey loved them when I was pregnant. She would dance around like crazy! I cried when I saw my husband with one.<br />
<br />
We came straight on home. My mom took my car to her house and told me she'd be back shortly. She and I both rushed around to get things done. I packed and showered. Then I read about NEC. WOW! Talk about scary. I was so scared. I just wanted to get back to my baby. <br />
<br />
I remember leaking breast milk after my shower. It made me sort of wish that I had decided to give it to her. It was strange how that feeling came over me after my milk finally came in that night. My mom came and picked me up in my car and drove us straight back to UT. It was late when we got there, like 11:30pm maybe. We went straight up to see Zoey. There she lay in her isolette with a PIC line in her arm. I just looked at her and cried. They had started antibiotics (Ampicillin, Gentamicin, and Clindamycin from December 1-6) and there were even more cords and things connected to a few syringes that were slowly being pushed to let her meds and nutrition enter her body. One syringe was huge! (Zoey was given Intralipids from December 1st until December 16.)<br />
<br />
We sat there for a few hours and just talked to the nurse. She told us that they were keeping a close eye on her. Every so often they would listen to her bowel sounds to make sure they sounded normal. Every 12 hours they did another X-ray of her bowels to see if there was any change. They continued to find air bubbles in her bowels. This wasn't good. <br />
<br />
The next morning (Tuesday Dec. 1) when the neonatologist made their rounds, we talked to Dr. Wright about Zoey's condition. They told us that her bowels could perforate and the air could bloat her abdomen thus the reason they were checking for a swollen abdomen and listening to bowel sounds. He told us we would just continue the antibiotics and the X-rays. They also put a drain tube in Zoey's belly that came out of her mouth a day or two later to help drain out anything in her belly so that her bowels wouldn't have to work to process that as well. He also said that the best thing for Zoey would be for her to have breast milk. He said that her bowels would tolerate it more than anything else. That made my decision. I was going to feed my baby girl my milk even though I hadn't a clue where to start.<br />

I asked to see the lactation consultant (I had already told her I wouldn't be breastfeeding) that morning. She came straight over with a Medela Symphony hospital grade breast pump and supplies. She taught me how to pump to get Zoey's milk. The idea was that I would pump and store until she could start eating again. And boy did I ever! I had a huge freezer full in the NICU. I didn't know how I was going to get it home. But this was the best decision I made because this milk carried us through the first few months of Zoey's life. I have NEVER made more than 3 ounces and yet my baby girl has been feed breast milk (later she was supplemented) until she was 5.5 months old! Praise God!<br />
<br />
This continued all during the week and the X-rays looked better and better. The X-rays were then only happening every 24 hours. Eventually the air bubbles were gone and they stopped the X-rays. <br />
<br />
During all the turmoil, we were given more alarming news. My Zoey girl's brain was missing what is known as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septum_pellucidum">septum pellucidum</a>. The cranial ultrasound on December 2 showed this. I stressed and worried myself too death over this as well. A few days later, Dr. Anna Kosentka (Pediatric Neurologist) consulted with us. An MRI of the brain was done on December 18 and was motion-limited because Zoey is a baby and babies tend to move around. The septum pellucidum was not definitively visualized. They couldn't tell if it was related to a true absence of the septum pellucidum or perhaps a cavum septum pellucidum with poorly defined lateral margins due to the poor image quality. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve">optic nerves</a> were symmetric which was a good thing and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_chiasm">optic chiasm</a> was present. This whole thing means that Zoey could have problems with her vision and her pitutary gland. The MRI's findings helped to rule out the possible septo-optic dysplasia which involves the problems mentioned above. Praise God for that. Dr. Gary Gitschlag (Pediatric Ophthalmologist) also checked Zoey's eyes and they looked fine. <br />

It was also mentioned at first that Zoey was missing or had a thin <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_nerve">Corpus Callosum</a> which also deals with the brain and how it makes connections from the left and right sides. This can cause a host of problems and I spent a lot of hours worrying over those problems. However, the MRI report didn't make mention of this issue and Dr. Wright explained that if it didn't mention it, it was fine. Praise God! Since all these brain issues were found/or thought to exist, we consulted with Dr. Carmen Lozzio (Genetics and Development) for a genetic test. Chromosome analysis showed a normal female karyotype (46, XX). This was great. None of these issues were genetic. Dr. Wright even said that yes missing your septum pellucidum was a 1% rarity but he also mentioned that plenty of folks could be walking around without theirs and they would never know it unless they were a NICU baby who had a brain ultrasound or had had an MRI on their brain at some point in their lives. <br />

On December 4, they even told us that she would be able to start eating again possible in the next day or two. The seven days without feeding would have ended on Saturday December 6th. When Dr. Bass spoke with us he said that they were deciding whether or not to leave her off feedings for 7 or 10 days. He said they'd conference together (all the Neonatologists) and make a decision. He mentioned that Dr. Wright had wanted to wait 10. Later, when Dr. Wright was on duty, I asked to speak to him. He, being the wonderful doctor that he is, came straight over and I asked about the 7 or 10 day dilemma. He told us he wanted to be really cautious and leave her off feeds for 10 days instead of the suggested 7 days by the other doctors. I told him that I'd rather be cautious, too and that I'd rather wait the 10 days just in case. I am such a worry wart and he was right up my alley! If she started eating and the problems came back we'd be facing another 10 days without feedings or worse... the problem worsening and I figured it'd be better to just stay off 3 more days and not have those worries. <br />

Believe or not, I've been hard at work n the NICU post in the last few days. It takes me forever but In the end it's worth it because I have a permanent record to look back on. I couldn't count the number of times I have looked up specfics from my infertility treatments for friends. It is really handy. <br />
<br />
Anyway, it has been really busy. We were in Nashville a few weeks ago and then my mom had surgery and I spent a lot of time at her house helping out. We still have a couple more busy weekends ahead. My dad and I spent quite a bit of time last weekend working on my pool. Talk about a job! We basically gutted it and statrednfrom scratch. The water was green so we drained it and sucked up the remainder of the algae with a shop vac. Then I cleaned the floor with a squeegee and then a towel. We began refillng which totally finished early this morning (after stopping it for awhile). We also had to clean the sand filter totally out and put new sand in. I will add chemicals next. We have decided to go with Baquacil and we have heard great things about it. Still have some cleanup atone the deck but it's getting there. <br />
<br />
School is now out and I am looking forward to spending time with my Zoey girl. I can't wait for her first trip to the beach. She will love it. I've got all her stuff bought up but I haven't even started on myself. Haha <br />
<br />
Miss Zoey has had a busy week as well including meeting all my coworkers for the first time. That was alot of fun and interesting. She has travlled a lot with me this week as I have attempted to run errands. <br />
<br />
Up next is the NICU post and Zoey's five month post. Hopefully I'll post those this week. Until then.... Have a great weekend! <br />

There is nothing like her and I can't remember what I did before her. The picture above is our tradition. Zoey and I have shared Eskimo kisses since she was in the NICU and they are so special to me. It's hard to keep her still long enough to get a few now but I still manage to : ) Some of our best times are those when we are just hanging around the house. We have the best time playing, reading books, watching Care Bears, etc. She is the sweetest child ever : )<br />

<br />
I spent my first Mother's day in church last year as a newly pregnant gal. No Zoey wasn't born but yes I was still a mother. I had waited for that day for years and it was finally a reality. I didn't go up with the rest of the mothers in church because still a lot of people didn't really know and I figured I'd wait until I had Zoey to take up with me this year. This year was my first actual Mother's Day with Zoey in my arms! It was great! She looked so pretty. <br />
<br />
We got up and got ready for church that morning. Daddy took a couple of pictures and we were on our way. At church we had to walk up front with all the other mom's (including my momma) and receive a book about being a Christian mother. It was such a sweet gift from our church. Zoey then got a bit restless because she was so sleepy but she is so nosey that she wanted to look around to see what was going on in church. I ended up taking her out for about 15 minutes into a dark Sunday school room to get her to sleep and then we went back in so I could hear the sermon.<br />

As we were leaving church, a middle-aged couple behind us were telling us how pretty Zoey is. The lady said, "My husband said that she is so pretty that she looks like she's been bought in the toys at Toys' R' Us. She looks like a Cabbage Patch doll or something. I wish our son would have us a grandbaby and that it would look just like her!" It was so sweet! Later the next day my cousin made a similar comment and hadn't even heard the story of what these folks had said. We took the Cabbage Patch thing as a compliment because I loved my CPK dolls when I was a kid and it's cool to think I have a live one! HAHA<br />
<br />
We went to Ryan's steakhouse after church and enjoyed dinner. It was SOOO crowded and of course it would be because of Mother's day. Zoey tried some mashed potatoes and gravy and a taste or two of chocolate ice cream. She likes food. So far all she's had a taste of is mashed potatoes, chocolate/vanilla ice cream, fudgesicle, sherbert, and pizza sauce. lol That last one is my idea. Not a really spice sauce I promise! But she has enjoyed it all and only had just barely a few little, tiny tastes of each.<br />
<br />
Anyway... after dinner we came home with every intention of going back to church that night. We didn't make it because she and I fell asleep and slept all evening. It was very relaxing though. I seem to be dragging a whole lot now that it's the end of the school year. I just stay so tired from being on the go so much.<br />
<br />
I sat here and looked at her and was just amazed that she is my baby. She came from my body. She has my family and my husband's family in her. I remember everything about her growing inside and I remember what it felt like to have her and to hold her the first time. I am not crazy. Obviously I have known the whole time that she is my baby but it's like it hit me again that she is my little baby. The little baby that I have wanted for so long! And I felt even more blessed all over again.<br />
<br />
I also feel very blessed that God has given me such an awesome mom myself. I have learned all my tricks from her. She is the best mom in the world and if I can just be half the Christian mom that she has been, I will feel like I'm doing ok. She is STILL there for me when I need anything. She loves my girl and me so much. I wish I'd have gotten a picture of us all 3 on Mother's day but it got so busy that I didn't but we are having some done in a few weeks so I'll post those when we get them. Praise God for my precious momma and Praise God for my precious daughter!<br />
<br />
Also on my mind that day was my dear friends who are still going through infertility. I want each of you to know that I Pray for you and think of you often. I know that God answers Prayer and I am still holding on to those Prayers for you. Keep holding on even though it is so hard all the time! I will never forget that longing nor will I forget the walk! <br />

<div align="left" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zoey @ 4 Months:</span></div><div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zoey is growing like a weed! I'm excited... but it makes me a little sad, too. I want it all to just go in slow motion but I know that it won't. I am trying to savor every moment with her! This month has been very, very eventful for Zoey.</span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: magenta;"></span></i></span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Wed. March 31, Zoey had her 4 month pictures taken after school. The pictures turned out great and they include all the pictures on this page except for the pictures with the angel wings and those in the yellow outfit. Those pictures were taken the very next day by KnickerBockers at our church. My parents had purchased a voucher to do those without me even realizing it until I walked through the church door and the lady selling them mentioned it. Wow... lots of pictures for Zoey this month! </span></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
On Saturday April 3, Zoey got to go on her first real shopping trip! Zoey had been in Wal-Mart once, during the Kentucky basketball game when it was pretty much empty, into Wal-Greens for 2 minutes while I picked up an herb to help with breast milk and into J.C. Penney's while in a baby sling. She had never really had a "real" shopping trip. Zoey loved it! She loved riding in her stroller and seeing all the colorful clothes go by. I told her as we entered J.C. Penney's, "Sissy, welcome to the wonderful world of shopping!" She just smiled! She had a great time. Uncle Billy, mamaw and papaw went with us, too. <span class="033343618-30042010"><i><span style="color: magenta;"> </span></i></span></span><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="033343618-30042010">Let me add, I have been criticized a bit for not taking Zoey out. Even now, I am cautious about where I take her. She is healthy and growing up but I would rather not have her sick if I don't have to. Zoey was kept out of public for the first 3 months of her life. She started going to church at that point and that was about it. Now I do take her out and about somewhat but I'm not really fond of places with lots of people or lots of kids. I work with kids daily and I know the hygeine that some of them have. Some never, ever wash their hands. I'd rather not have them all over my daughter. Nothing personal just a preference of mine. I know that getting sick and getting germs will help build immunity, however, I would rather do that as she gets bigger when she can actually deal with it better. Just a personal preference. Others don't feel that way and that's ok but I do. That's what makes the world go around : ) </span></span><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Sunday April 4, Zoey attended church for her first Easter! She had a great time in her pretty, yellow dress but she had a bellyache and was warm in church so we didn't make it through the entire service. She cried for 45 minutes in a side Sunday school room. Finally, she fell asleep and she did well through Easter dinner at Ryan's. After we got home, she started hurting again and cried all evening. We didn't make it back to church that night. The next day, after feeling a lot better, Zoey found her toes in the car. We were heading home from mamaw's and she was wiggling her toes. She caught sight of them and was just amazed at these little, wiggling things! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Fd7dsKpjQDgqCF-VlBg5NC4HvzBOwIeZt5wosLXrW01y7zhcubvEwkdUF4I6aGIwHIcUNhr1uSFpoxKpnldyz-KTTZwoMZoGjY6mZKT-uHGkF2pLe_hEL_DHerUPY8wcMIYDb45mh8U/s1600/136.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Fd7dsKpjQDgqCF-VlBg5NC4HvzBOwIeZt5wosLXrW01y7zhcubvEwkdUF4I6aGIwHIcUNhr1uSFpoxKpnldyz-KTTZwoMZoGjY6mZKT-uHGkF2pLe_hEL_DHerUPY8wcMIYDb45mh8U/s320/136.JPG" /></a></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="033343618-30042010"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span class="033343618-30042010"> </span><span class="033343618-30042010"> </span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="033343618-30042010">For Easter I bought Zoey a basket and filled it full of goodies including pink Peeps, Veggie Tales chocolates, bendable bunnies, a Tootsie Roll bank, yellow bunny ears, Easter books and her first movie from mommy... Charlotte's Web. Zoey loved her books and movie the best (and daddy and mommy loved the sweets lol). Here's her basket and things and a pic of her watching her movie!</span></span><br />

Granny, Aunt Fefe, and cousins Lea and Alec came to stay. Zoey wore her zebra print outfit (one of my favorites!) and hung out on the couch with granny while mommy, daddy and the rest of the crew made s'mores at the bonfire in the backyard. When we came back in, Zoey and granny were both worn out. Zoey was sleeping and granny had been dozing off. </span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRA3jN15khOikZYq4WA2AcibgvwYEQ09Qhcvi4g9_AC-nJvjnMEdFZcm578hO7WQDvXLjfDD6fjaMr27QJzFp8I4WNnS62wpsEqVXmDou4XPZsC3R3Yw6ikPV-sjw_gOqDsmbzcbHdj9Q/s1600/IMG_0544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRA3jN15khOikZYq4WA2AcibgvwYEQ09Qhcvi4g9_AC-nJvjnMEdFZcm578hO7WQDvXLjfDD6fjaMr27QJzFp8I4WNnS62wpsEqVXmDou4XPZsC3R3Yw6ikPV-sjw_gOqDsmbzcbHdj9Q/s320/IMG_0544.JPG" /></a></div><br />

Zoey wore her orange "Praise Jesus" onesie and multicolored pants and an orange bow. She looked so cute! She got to meet Aunt Carrie and Uncle Keith for the very first time that day! Daddy joined us after he got off work as well. We had Bearno's pizza for dinner and we all just hung out the rest of the evening. </span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6DuL0RpwqKOaemnCj_ZYu-jsGHqcavIdfCyAXklCDt9tCWXDvZwqdyqUdhotQ0_6uDa7mxZwokVT_2udidUf03wb-n-amAnIkE3jkXQXJWgYIShQCncAHWt1DiGHN1OC1fOTqqgKlns/s1600/IMG_0564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgj6DuL0RpwqKOaemnCj_ZYu-jsGHqcavIdfCyAXklCDt9tCWXDvZwqdyqUdhotQ0_6uDa7mxZwokVT_2udidUf03wb-n-amAnIkE3jkXQXJWgYIShQCncAHWt1DiGHN1OC1fOTqqgKlns/s320/IMG_0564.JPG" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Sunday April 11, Zoey attended church at Victory Baptist for the very first time. She wore her Easter dress that granny had bought her and that cousin Lea had picked out. Zoey was very well behaved in church. By the time we got back to granny's house, Zoey wanted out of her big, poufy dress. We managed to keep her in it until Aunt Carrie arrived to see her in it. Then we changed her to the yellow romper that is seen in all the Knicker Bocker pictures on this page. Zoey also got to meet friendly neighbor Cecil on this day!</span><br />
</div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We arrived home on Sunday evening at 8:15pm and I didn't finish getting things ready for the following day until about 12:30 am. I was exhausted! It is so much more difficult to travel when you have a baby and work full time because your weekends are so valuable at getting things done that you can't get during the week (along with getting some rest!). Zoey got choked when we got home. She scared me too death. She had been getting choked for awhile. It was like slimy spit hanging in her throat and keeping her from breathing. She got ok and was fine for a few days. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">On Monday April 12, Zoey got to taste a Fudgesicle for the first time courtesy of mamaw and mommy.</span><br />

April 14, Zoey went to the PT in Harlan to get new splints made. Zoey's feet turn in from her position in my small uterus. The doctors have said that they should turn out just fine because it is only positional and not something she was born with but we are trying to train her to hold them correctly through splints to help out. Zoey sat so still for the PT lady that was working on her. She was really good. It is usually hard for a baby to sit still for 2.5 hours but she sure did. I have the best baby in the world! She is so good natured and easily satisfied and very, very laid back! I was worn out that evening because I had taken the day off work to attend a meeting that morning and then to take her to the PT. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0LkWRJYqGKqVUFOYHTcm_EXs5A3eikePGEFwEYTedV_amvhAgFxSxHkajkW2ImPIlwOUiPjZ2zIFt-8T4xquR5Fo1Dcl0sihuaLBZMBDoUyNb_kRdBG2I8TDR_fwjYUO6enkQQaL22w/s1600/028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN0LkWRJYqGKqVUFOYHTcm_EXs5A3eikePGEFwEYTedV_amvhAgFxSxHkajkW2ImPIlwOUiPjZ2zIFt-8T4xquR5Fo1Dcl0sihuaLBZMBDoUyNb_kRdBG2I8TDR_fwjYUO6enkQQaL22w/s320/028.JPG" /></a></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

She got choked 5 times in 1 hour! I decided to page our doctor and he called me straight back (as always!).

He listened to her and she wasn't sick and he talked to us about the reflux. He told us to get back with him in a few weeks to see her progress (which has been good...

We had been trying to catch 2 people in at the same time but had no such luck at any place we went so we went ahead and had them done seperately. She cried for about 30 seconds on the first one and about a minute on the second and then she was fine. She was laughing about a minute later. Mommy and mamaw bought her some new toys that day (mommy had coupons that were expiring that very day!) I bought her 2 "My Little Ponies" and a Sit and Walk. Mamaw bought her a Gloworm. She adores that Gloworm and we've named her Glowy! </span><br />

She didn't make it through the whole sermon again. She wasn't throwing a fit or anything just whining a bit and I hate to disrupt others who really need to hear the Word at church so I took her out. We joined the ranks of other babies in the foyer. My baby made friends with a 3 year old named Lily, a tiny baby named Ayden, our pastor's granddaughter Elizabeth and our online friend Ashley's baby boy Aiden. Zoey and Aiden really enjoyed staring at each other. Zoey just didn't know what to think about him. He was so cute and he just smiled and smiled at her.

We are so excited to see Zoey playing at the beach. She won't know what to think about the water and sand. She took a big nap at mamaw's which doesn't happen much anymore. Naps are usually only catnaps lately unless we are holding her or laying down with her but today she slept 1.5 hours all by herself. She also had a huge, poopy diaper today! Woohoo! The things we get excited about as a mommy! ; )</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">On Friday April 23, Zoey got to experience watching CareBears for the very first time and she absolutely LOVED it! She went for her pictures at 4pm and wow what an experience. She was cranky from cutting teeth and she didn't want to be bothered. I could tell on our way there we may have a problem but I thought the Tylenol and Orajel would help. It didn't. We got 3 pictures and had to leave because she was crying so hard. In the process, she peed all over me (I've had worse) and it looked as though I had peed on myself from the way I ended up sitting in the puddle. She had gotten mad during a photo with her butt up in the air and I grabbed her (knowing I should put a diaper back on her) and rocked her. Just didn't want her crying. I was stressed that day from work and hormones so after we left my mom watched her while I took a shower. Mom stayed for a bit then left and Zoey got to watch Care Bears! She was mesmerized!

Zoey and uncle Billy stayed in the parking garage while mom and I were in the doctor's office. Zoey got mad and uncle Billy had to call me to come out and get her. She was just bored in that dark car. LoL He tried everything and had kept her for about an hour. She wanted to be social and so she was. She had everyone smiling and talking to her.

</div>One Year Ago Today .... I was blessed to hear the words "Your test was POSITIVE!" Those were words that I have yearned for my entire life! I never knew back in the days that I played momma to my baby dolls that I would be finding out I was pregnant over the phone from an endocrinologist. Nevertheless, God blessed me and I was indeed pregnant. I had no idea the trials we would face in the months ahead... the major bleed... threatened miscarriage ... bedrest ... strange numbers on the quad screen ... physical pain from the pressure of such a small uterus and a baby that was outgrowing it.... 22 days in Knoxville, Tn (2 of which I was in labor).... NEC... etc. The list goes on and on. But God wanted this little girl to make it into the world and I am so glad that He did. He has blessed us so and we could never give Him the praise He rightfully deserves for this miracle on top of all the other miracles that He has done in our lives, the most important being the fact that He died to Save our souls! What a good God we serve!<br />
<br />
One year ago today, I was exhausted and shocked. I was amazed. I was excited and scared. I felt relief after such a hard battle. I began many, many more trips to Knoxville averaging every 2 days for awhile then every 3 weeks then every 2 weeks. I felt blessed, I still do. One year ago today God gave me the biggest surprise ever! He gave me what I have wanted my entire life... the opportunity to be pregnant and to nurture a child from day 1 until the day I die. I enjoyed my pregnancy so much. It was such an experience. And it all started 1 year ago today. <a href="http://ontheoutidelookingin.blogspot.com/2009/05/genesis-30-22-and-god-remembered-alesha.html">Click here</a> to read the post from the day I found out that I was pregnant with Zoey Danielle!<br />

I remember going to Kville really late the night before after I left my lil brother's prom. I had waited forever for them to arrive so I could take pictures and it gave us a late start. I remember eating Arby's late that night and how gross that Arby's was. LoL I remember waking up on that Sunday morning and heading to my doctor's office. I remember losing my Prayer cloth and going back for it. I remember her telling me the due date I would have if this worked. I remember thinking that she must feel pretty confident to be telling me that. I remember eating Japanese before coming home. I remember... I remember... I remember. What I don't remember.....is what life was like before My Zoey. I remember my infertility and the pain and all the information I learned.... but I can't remember what I did before Zoey Danielle. And that's ok..... because she's my life now and that's the way it was meant to be. April 19, 2009.... we'll never forget that day in history. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR THE PRECIOUS MIRACLE YOU PERFORMED ON MY BODY ON THIS DAY! THANK YOU FOR THE STRUGGLE AND FOR THE JOY. THANK YOU FOR THE TEARS AND FOR THE SMILES.

Zoey @ 3 Months: <br />
<br />
Zoey is taking breastmilk still but is being supplemented with <a href="http://similac.com/baby-formula/similac-alimentum-hypoallergenic?utm_source=yahoo&utm_medium=ppc&utm_term=about%20alimentum&utm_content=about%20alimentumppc&utm_campaign=2010%20Tolerance-%20Brand">Alimentum </a>formula. This made me a nervous wreck! I see nothing wrong with formula but since we'd had all the bowel issues, I really was scared to introduce her to formula. It was a have to case though because I wasn't making enough milk and she had to eat. I love giving her my milk. It is such a good feeling to know that i am nourishing my child. Zoey has never really been nursed but I have pumped and given her milk since she was able to eat again. The pump below is the one that I have used the entire time. Rented from the hospital, it is $60. I am providing liquid gold! <br />
<br />

<br />
Since we started the formula, going to the bathroom has been a bigger issue. Babies' bowel movements slow down as the bowels mature but I think the formula slowed Zoey down even more. She has began to have problems going to the bathroom. She has even went as long as 7 days without going. This was a big change to me because she was going multiple times a day since she was born and on the breast milk. Her pediatrician told me to wait it out at first then he told me I could introduce apple juice to help out. She loves the apple juice. You can barely get it out of her mouth! <br />
<br />
Zoey has also started staying awake more and smiling a whole lot more. She kicks and plays. She can sit in her Bumbo seat pretty well. She enjoys it, too. She likes to see the world. She is definitely becoming more aware of her surroundings. <br />

<br />
This month also brought about Zoey's first trip to church. I was so nervous. I just knew that our pastor would recognize us and I am glad he did. I just hate being in front of lots of people. But it was great and it was definitely something that we will always remember. He Prayed over her which was definitely a blessing. She was really good during church. She sat through the whole service and slept some. She didn't have to eat and there weren't any diaper changes needed. We did well. Actually we did for the first few weeks.<br />

We also spent a lot of the snow days at mamaw and papaws. This is our hill before it was salted and BEFORE we got out on it. It looked this way most of the winter due to all the snow. Alot of the time, Zoey was all snuggly and warm in the house and looked like this(her sleep sack was a little too big lol): <br />

It hangs over her baby bed... you know... the one she doesn't sleep in because her momma won't let her ; ) And that's ok with me. It's how I want it to be. Being gone to work makes it hard to spend time with my girl... I'll take every second that I can get with her even if it includes sleeping at night next to her. <br />

A lot of the stuff that we have was. Praise the Lord for my beautiful sister-in-law who saved tons of stuff for us. She started saving it before we were even married!

Zoey continued to grow and fill out her <a href="http://www.kiddopotamus.com/p_swad.php">SwaddleMe blanket</a>. She looked just like a <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3152478">GloWorm</a>. (Mamaw had to buy her one...it was a gift after getting her ears pierced on 4-15-10... oops getting ahead of myself... this is month 3 we are talking about!) Do you see the resemblance? <br />

And who could forgot the evening that momma ran out to get dinner and left Zoey with daddy. Well... she spit up and ummm this is how daddy dressed her! Her look says it all!<br />
<br />
The following are her monthly pictures. We do these every month and it is such a blessing that we do. It's a deal with have with a local photographer who is just wonderful. So here are month 3's pictures!<br />

Other interesting tidbits:<br />
<br />
Week of Feburary 27: Zoey starts fussing and cooing.<br />
<style>
</style><div style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">2-28-10 Zoey fussed with momma then puked on her feet and got it on her diaper = bathtime!</span></div>March 2: Momma and Zoey have an appointment. Momma's school dismisses early and we hang out at mamaw's til its time for the appointment. Momma starts Fenugreek to increase milk supply. Momma takes this for about a month. It helps just barely but not enough to stress over. <br />
March 6: Zoey gets to go in JC Penney's in a sling momma got at Once Upon A Child.<br />
March 7: First time in Church and then afterwards we stayed home that evening. It wore us out. I held Zoey from 7pm until 12am.<br />
March 11: Zoey almost rolled over with my mom and "played" video games with Billy<br />
March 12: Zoey starts sucking and biting on her hands... could we be in the early stages of teething? To be prepared, her momma sends daddy to Wal-Mart for <a href="http://www.orajel.com/">Orajel</a>.... he comes back with adult Orajel so momma has to go back for the baby kind!<br />
March 15: Momma, Zoey, & Uncle Billy head to Knoxville... Momma took the day off work to go get medical velcro for Zoey's splints. (Zoey turns her feet in. It's only positional and it will get better... but we use splints to urge it along. It is due to my small uterus and the fact that she ran out of room.)We also went to the Duck, Duck, Goose sale. Well... momma and mamaw did. Uncle Billy and Zoey stayed in the car. Bought a jungle gym at Once Upon A Child for my house.... Papaw had bought the aquarium one for Zoey the Saturday before at Wal-Mart. <br />
March 17: St. Patrick's Day! Zoey rolls over the first time for my mom. Zoey weighs 12lbs according to our weighing at home. According to what I know now ... it was probably closer to 10 and half to 11 this month. We don't have an accurate on that because we had no pediatrician appointment this month.<br />
<br />

Zoey @ 2 Months: <br />
<br />
I went back to work during this month on January 27th. The good thing was that I got to break myself in slowly due to many, many snow days that came along. The snow days also helped my maternity leave to be 2 months instead of just 6 weeks. It was wonderful. It sure was hard leaving her but it's something I had to do. The night before I was suppose to go back to work, Zoey had the sniffles. She was stuffy and I was scared so I ended up taking off an extra day to take her to the doctor. She was ok and recovered quickly. There was no fever or anyting, Thank God! She weighed 8lbs and 11oz at this appointment. <br />
<br />
Zoey has moved up to 3 ounces at each feeding and occasionally she takes 4 ounces. She weighed in at 8lbs 11oz. Now she's beginning to make eye contact more and her eyes aren't crossing like they did before when she was trying to focus. She sure is a sight. Right before her 3 month birthday, she started saying "I Good." I know... it's probably just her learning those vowel sounds as my baby book says, but I like to tell myself she is actually saying it. She is just describing herself. She is a good baby.<br />
<br />
Zoey had her first round of shots on Feb. 5. She weighed 9lbs 11oz at this appointment. (Though she did have a little of her clothes on I think). She did well with her shots. It broke my heart but she was fine after she stopped crying. She was whiny all weekend afterward but other than that she didn't run a fever or have any other problems. <br />

<br />
We spent a lot of time during month 2 rounding up votes for the <a href="http://wkyt.upickem.net/engine/Details.aspx?p=A&c=11312&s=2655094&i=1#SD">Cutest Baby in Kentucky contest</a> on WYMT. It was all just for fun and we had a blast seeing how many votes we could gather. I think we ended with 400+. We didn't win but it was fun.<br />
<br />
<br />
This month also brought Valentine's Day with it. Zoey sent me a Valentine's Day gift (via my mom and brother).<br />
