A Tough Job

This past weekend has been my toughest in parenthood yet. We experienced our baby's first fever and I of course  called the doctor and they told us to take her to the children's hospital. Did I mention we had to go there instead of our actual peds. office, because outside it was beginning to snow crazy amounts. So we get to the hospital and they took her temperature again and sure enough it was 102. So they had to run all these tests to make sure it wasn't bacterial. I guess when babies are this young they can't take any chances. Thank goodness it ended up just being a viral cold, but after 2 days in the hospital I felt like a emotional mess. It was something that I don't ever want to experience again but I know that kids get sick. I never knew how hard it was to watch your child be sick and not be able to do anything about it. You feel helpless as a parent and want to go trough each sniffle and ache instead of them.  I'm so happy her fever is down and that she's feeling worlds of better. She's my little peanut and I love her so much. Scarlett lets not get sick for a long time again. OK great!

Easter baskets and such...

Easter has been one holiday that I have been so excited to celebrate with Scarlett this year. Even though she will be too itty bitty for Easter egg hunts and candy, I am happy to spend such a special day together. Going to church and a big brunch with family. Although she won't be participating in the Easter festivities this year, doesn't mean she won't be receiving a Easter bucket full of clothes and toys and wearing her Easter best!

I ordered this adorable Easter bucket from Etsy Two sisters Designs. This bucket will be perfect for Easter egg hunts for years to come. My mom got her a more traditional Easter basket from Pottery Barn, so I thought I would do something fun and practical.

Here are some things that I have been collecting for her basket. Hat and swimsuit from gap.

I'm still on the hunt for a Easter dress. Here's some that I'm considering.

Friday Randoms

I love not having anything planned for the weekend. I think we are going to do some lounging and house stuff. We still need to hang Scarlett's curtains in her room and some pictures. We love procrastinating!

I can't wait to spend all weekend with these two! They are the best!

Made these from my new favorite blog Delighted Momma and these:

 Also, I had to add these pics of my silly dogs. My hubby made a fire the other night and our dog Roman couldn't get close enough. We also went on a walk when it was nice out last week and Louie loved his new way to walk! 

Happy V-Day

Happy Heart Day!

What's been going on...

Lately my days have been busy taking car of my love bug which involves lots of time at home. We moved into our house in September and have been slowly doing updates and getting new home stuff. Next we are redoing our master bathroom. I am so excited! Our house here has more space then our one in Dallas so it needed to be filled with some more furniture. We recently purchased a few items from Pottery Barn. I love that place! Fun fact: The first free standing Pottery Barn is here in Kansas City. We got this mirror and console table below. I really Love the mirror!

Now back to playing all day! Also it was my Birthday yesterday and my cousin made the yummiest prettiest birthday cake! If you are in the K.C. area looking for yummy cake creations contact me. Her business is Sweet Crayvings.

2 Months

Scarlett you are 2 months...

Things you have been doing?

You eat every 3 hours during the day. Your last feeding for the day is usually around 10 at night.

You sleep from 10-5 in the morning. You then will wake up and eat and go back to bed until 9 in the morning.

You usually take 2 big naps during the day and a lot of them have been in your crib. You also nap in your swing or in the ergo carrier.

The milk rash has gone away from your face, but now we are dealing with dry eyebrow of all things. This weather is awful.

You smile at us all of the time and squint your eyebrows. It's so funny.

You will track me around the room if I'm not holding you.

You are growing so much. A lot of your 0-3 months clothes are too short for you in the length. You are so long. I think you might be tall like your daddy and Aunts.

You also wear bows almost every day and we even have to put hair gel in your hair, because you have so much! Its ridiculous! Your eyelashes have also gotten super long!

Things you love:

Your wubnub pacifier (we have moved onto to bigger and better things now) You won't take your wubnub at all and have moved too a different paci.

You love watching me work out. I swear you will be crying and as soon as I get on the treadmill you stop and just stare.

You love going for walks and running errands. You fall right asleep and the louder places are the better. I think you sleep better with super loud noises. It must be all the talking mommy did when you were in her tummy. 

You love your swing, you hated it at first and now you love laying in there watching the mobile go around.

You also love your new bloom fresco highchair. You love watching me cook. I see a trend going on here. I think you pretty much love watching Daddy and I doing anything! You are such a little nosy thing!

Things you don't love:

being swaddled.  You love this now.

You are have a love/hate relationship with your swing.

Some firsts:

You had your first walk outside

You first grocery shopping trip at Whole Foods ( you slept the whole time)

You accidentally grabbed onto your raddle but I was still so proud.

You had your first meltdown in the car. It was awful. I felt so bad! I finally pulled over and nursed you in the back of the car, you of course calmed down.

Tomorrow Scarlett's gets her 2 month shots. I am so nervous on what to expect.

Update* Scarlett got her shots and did so well! Also she weighs a whopping 12.8 lbs! She's 24 inches long too! She's my little eating champ!
