The Tooth Fairy came to our house on Friday night!!

She left Emma $20!

Emma was so excited, and is OFFICIALLY a BIG GIRL!

One of Lexi's friends got Emma a Magnadoodle. Emma LOVES it. I thought that was so nice of her, and her mom to think of Emma. She also got flowers from her dad.

I have the sweetest baby ever.

she surprised me today with lunch :)

She made a peanut butter sandwich- and cut it in half for us. On my sandwich the top crust was facing inside the sandwich, if that makes any sense. Too cute.

She made it while I was in the shower. I love her!

Surgery.

Emma had surgery today. :(

It was dental work.. she had some teeth pulled, and some caps on her teeth. She went to Children's Mercy Hospital. They were very good to her there. Her dentist is a pediatric dentist. He is phenomenal. He did an amazing job on her teeth.

She had four teeth pulled, so the tooth fairy is coming tonight to our house for the first time!!

She picked banana for the scent of her sleeping gas. I waited in the waiting room for what seemed like eternity. It was only an hour and a half, then I talked with the dr and waited another 40 minutes. Finally I got to see my baby! I got on an elevator, and turned a hall to see my precious baby being wheeled on a bed out of the OR. My heart dropped. I wanted to run over to her, bawl- but I couldn't. I had to be strong for her.

I walked up to her and the nurse told me the first thing she said was that she wanted me. It felt so good because I wanted her too. We went to the recovery room and I finally got to hold my precious baby. I rocked her in a rocking chair for about 30 minutes. I comforted her becuase she was in pain. I wish I could have endured all the pain she was feeling. They gave her some meds, and removed her iv. I finally got to dress her and we got to my car and drove home.

I never felt like I could loose Emma until today. I was scared about anesthesia. I know the risk is minimal, but there is still that risk of something to go wrong.  I am so relieved. Praise God she is okay!!


Tonight we got home, I made her jello, pudding and mashed potatoes. She was a hungry girl tonight.

She just finished a banana, and is finally ready to get some sleep. Poor girl didn't eat anything since lastnight.

I am at a real thankful place right now. I am overwhelmed by all the emails, txts, messages, and phone calls I received today. It really made my day better. It might not sound like a "big surgery" but anytime a child gets put down it can be scary, and the pain was pretty intense for her. 

I'm glad this exhausting day is about to end, and happy to start a new one tomorrow.

Emma is laying next to me, and so is Belle. Nothing can make my night any better than to be in bed us three.


here are pics before her surgery:

I want to go so unbelievably badly,

I just can't even express it!

I want to take Emma on a Disney Cruise!! If I go in November, it will cost me less than $1200 for the both of us for 5 nights. This would be sooo fun!

love this song.






I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

And miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold gound
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

Fun Night!

I had so much fun lastnight. I went out with friends. We went to a gay bar, then a few other bars. It was definitely an eventful night, other than the fact it was T's bday.

LOTS of cooking

On Thursday I baked a chicken.. I was very excited about making it until it was done. I hate eating meat off a bone. it really grosses me out. I hardly ate any of it, and instead of making something with the left over meat,  I threw it away.

We made mashed potatoes, and then cupcakes for dessert.

We watched American Idol, and just relaxed. Lastnight we had brats, and watched Home Alone.

I can't wait for another day off to spend with Emma. Today I go into work at one, so that gives me some time home. I wish I didn't have to work so much :(

I am trying to think of a place me and Emma can go this summer. I have two weeks of vacation with my work, and I would love to spend one week somewhere. I think camping would be alot of fun!

I want to go somewhere I haven't been before. Somewhere I can drive- I don't want to fly, or spend alot of money. Just alittle getaway.
