The Open Book of an ASD Mom

Well this had to have been the Friday from HELL!!! OMG I would not take another like it if you paid me a million dollars. My work day was fine and after work I took Matty over to Drew's house to meet his new baby cousin Joshua since he wasn't allowed to see him in the hospital for obvious reaso ns!!! He was so excited to see the baby and was bugging the day lights out of me so we went right af t er I got home from work. Matty just loves babies and was so excited t o meet his new little cousin. It was so cute...we put a sleeping B ailey next to a bra nd ne w sleeping Joshua and the end result was just so priceless there are no words to begin to describe!!! After we left I went right home because I started to not feel well. As most of you know I have been battling a nasty tooth issue with my back left molar due to some severely impacted wisdom teeth. Well they pushed my surgery back 2 more weeks of course and so they cannot remove it until June 6th. UGH So I have b...

I cannot believe that my baby girl is turning 3 months old already!!! WOW where has the time gone!!! She's getting so big and growing so fast. Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com

So on Monday Adam and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. It seems so odd to me that we've been together that long...it just doesn't seem possible!!! ;-) We've lived together for 3 of those four years and its been a wild ride. A couple people call us the "power couple". We get along 90% of the time...we never fight and if we don't agree or become agitated with one another its idle bickering but that is about it. We usually have a way of saying our peace without screaming and then moving on. Neither one of us really dwell on anything either. Once its resolved its forgotten and not brought up again!! We really are good together. Speaking with my Aunt Tari today we discussed how Adam and I have hurdled many obstacles in the four years we've been together. Our relationship started out on a very rocky path and many didn't expect anything serious to come of it. Most swore we'd be lucky if we lasted a year. At times I never expected us to reall...

It was such a beautiful day out today!! We went on a picnic with Nannie and Big Brother and had a very "Happy" day. We finally got some great smiles out of our girl...she was so pleasant all day and really enjoyed the afternoon!!! Mommy is still slowly (very slowly) saving up for the professional camera so she can get some awesome shots outside...hopefully we'll be able to get it before the summer is over and be able to take some nice ones outside!!!! Have to pay off a few credit card bills first!! Below are a bunch of pictures of Bailey Smiling away. She was very social and had many happy moments today!!! I was able to finally photograph them. Usually she'll do it and the minute I hit the button she stops...she's a stinker!!! Enjoy...they're really cute pictures...I broke out the Digital Samsung SLR to take these because I wanted some really good ones!!! :-)

On Saturday I went to Matty's T-ball game. Got a call from Adam about 45 minutes later that Bailey started screaming and just would not stop!!! So I watched Matty a few minutes more than walked home to see what was wrong with my fussy little girl. She was not a happy camper and all through that day she had periods of extreme crying. Pacing the floors late Saturday night I was praying and hoping she was not getting colic. I just knew that I could not handle colic on top of everything else. I felt so helpless and just wanted to make her feel better. Finally I found a hold that she liked and she passed out in my arms. We slept together on the sofa from 11:30pm Saturday night until 8am Sunday morning. She never woke up for a bottle or diaper change, she screamed herself exhausted the poor thing. Sunday all day she seemed fine. She was not too fussy at all and we enjoyed the day. Then around 9:30pm that night she started screaming again and it was a really rough night. I wen...
