As Promised

A couple of weeks ago Carsen and Bailey came to spend the week with us. It was in the middle of Paisley's penicillin reaction, and I was so thankful to have them here to help! They jump right in and love on Lilly Scott, Mac and Paisley. Thank you for loving them, C and B!

I shared about P's initial penicillin reaction here, and it actually got worse! We were putting the nuggets in the car, and I noticed Paisley had no wrists and barely any ankles. I remembered Dr. Stephanie saying swollen joints was a possibility, and I called her immediately. Before I could take her to their office {as opposed to the ER}, I was told to monitor Paisley's breathing and look for signs of airway struggle. {WHAT?! How unnerving this was?!!!} Fortunately she was breathing well so we headed to the pediatrician's office. 

Her skin was actually healing pretty well, as you can see in this picture. She and Bailey were blowing raspberries.

 Carsen and Mac were being silly... it makes the time go much faster.

 Paisley was seen and given a prescription for oral steroids. Poor girl. Thankfully the steroids worked quickly, and she was getting back to her norm before our weekend of traveling.

Earlier that day, I went to see Amy at Hair Junkie Salon. I was in desperate need of something. Drying my hair was tedious {even if my hair wasn't washed daily and wearing it in a ponytail 24/7 gets old}. I've always said that if I have long hair, I need to actually wear it down occasionally. I wasn't holding true to that mindset so it was time for a change!

I love it! Thanks, Amy!

I had to share a funny... I asked Jordan to take this picture of a dress to see if it worked for a wedding, and look what else he captured :o)

 Have I posted this pic before?? I need some ginseng or something because my memory is about kaput these days. I ask the same question or tell the same story back to back-- and I have no recollection of doing it the first time. Does pregnancy brain ever go away? Or does it automatically become mommy brain once the baby (or babies) is born..? Whatever it is, I have it. 

Random note- Paisley's top tooth is through the gums! There's another one right behind it!

Back to the birthday crafts!! I am SO SO SO excited to put all of this planning, shopping and crafting to fruition! I promise you lots {and lots} of pictures!

Will I really have one year olds in 5 days???? 

If there's one word to sum my emotions up, it's bittersweet.

as always,
