On the Mend

Thanks for your continued prayers. Norah is doing a lot better today. She is on pretty strong antibiotics for the next 10 days though, so hopefully her little body can handle it. She slept very well last night and was back to almost her normal self today. I kept her home as a precaution and [...]

P is for Pneumonia

I am really tired so this is the abridged version…after 5 hours at Urgent Care, complete with chest x-ray, two nebulizer treatments, a culture to test for RSV and influenza (through the nose) and an antibiotic shot, Norah has been diagnosed with pneumonia. A big thanks to the nursing staff there who were kind enough [...]

Norah’s New Words

Several new words: Bible (which she said as she picked up her Baby Bible off her bookshelf), potato (which occurred while Dan was carrying her “sack of potatoes” style), mi (as in milk). Probably others too, I am just too tired to remember them. Norah has been up at 5 every day this week and [...]

Prayers

Quick post on the girls – tonight when I was getting ready to put Norah to bed I said, “OK Norah, let’s pray.” And the sweet little girl interlaced her fingers to fold her hands in prayer. I couldn’t help but smile. Dinner was better tonight – the last couple of nights she has been [...]

7 and Counting

Norah’s tooth count is up to 7…two teeth in the past few days certainly accounts for the slight fever she had on Sunday night. For ease of description I am going to start referring to teeth as they are on tooth charts like this one. Remember as you look at it, you are looking into [...]

Big Girl

Emily is such a grown up today. First off, she stayed in bed all night last night (she has been getting up once to come in and give one of us a hug, or asking to be tucked in, or something), got up to go potty and went back to bed by herself. Then when [...]

Trauma Day

Today started out as a normal day until we got to church. It was our Sunday to work in Toddlin’ (the church nursery) so we had the girls in the room with us while we got set up. Norah was playing in the play kitchen and had been crawling in and out of a little [...]

January 8, 2009

I am really going to try to blog more often this year since I have proven to be a horrible journaler in terms of capturing the moments of the girls’ lives. I registered Emily for spring soccer today. She is so excited. She got a ball and shin guards for Christmas and is planning on [...]
