Kara had her shots yesterday along with her 4 month well baby check up. She's doing fantasitc weighing in at 12lbs 14oz, 23 in long and is just perfect. She got 3 shots yesterday and an oral vaccine for roto-virus. She did ok, of course we cried, and cried, and then she fell asleep, thanks to the tylenol.
Daddy has her today along with Grammie, who came down to help out Mommy in her flower gardens (they look pretty now) Well around lunch time I called home to check on Kara bear and Tim said she was fine, Mom was holding her playing with her etc. Well not even 5 minutes later he texted me...yeah texted and asked what the number for the pediatrician is, he can't get ahold of anyone up there, I asked why and he replied with her temp is 103.1. I picked up the phone and called him and he's like hun, don't freak out she's ok, I just want to talk to the nurse, well as I keep talking and I talked to my mom she reassured me that kara was fine and that I shouldn't worry...yeah ok....my ass was on the phone with the doctors office, it's amazing how I was able to get ahold of someone...ugh...men! The nurse said she wanted to see her ASAP, so I peeked into my bosses office and my face must have said it all because he said "go...let me know if you need anything" I called Tim and said have her ready I'm coming home to get her. We left her with only a diaper and flew to her doctors. Of course there she was very talkative to everyone and everything and was a happy baby, but still burning up. When we got to the doctors her temp was 101.6 so it had gone down which was good, Dr. Khrane said that she thinks its just a form of the Roto-virus because of the vaccine. Her stools are EVERYWHERE!!!!! and of course while we were there she decided it would be cool to pee on me! So here I sit smelling like pee with a desk full of work to do...xxoo

Emotional Moment
My baby is already 4 months and I just can't seem to figure out where the time goes?! Last night, I got quite emotional with her as she sat and laughed at her daddy making silly faces and it seems the stupider he acts the harder she laughs. I sat and cried because it seems like just yesterday she was just a little squirt getting up in the night every 3 hours to eat. Now, she sleeps through the night, plays hard during the day and cuddles with Mommy when she gets home from a hard days work! Tim told me last night that he had her on his lap when he was on the computer, and I took this awesome picture of her last weekend on the new deck and she saw it, and started babbling to it and laughed, she saw herself and was amazed.
She has quite the attitude also, if she's pissed she will clench her hands together and spit at you. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this, I was the only one home so when Tim got home from work I tried to get her to do it, of course she didn't, but she did it to him yesterday. She's getting so darn big. Today is her 4 month check up with shots...I'm really bumming. I am taking off from work at 1230 and not coming back because I want to be with her. I hate seeing her go through pain, but I know she has to have them. Hopefully she will be our sweet little happy girl by tonight!
She was wide awake last night when it was Mommy's bedtime so we came upstairs and played in Mommy's bed until she got so tired, she grabbed her own paci and "mr. burpie" and feel asleep. No fussing, no rooching, just passed right out on mommy's pillow with her. I didn't want Tim to take her from me, but know that she just can't sleep with me, the way i move around. I don't know maybe I'm having some sort of attachment issue going on. I just can't express how much this little girl has changed my life by just being her! No words or actions can describe my love for this little girl.

6 crazy things...from Sarah
Sarah, my a dear friend, has tagged me for a '6 Quirky things about me
I don't know how to link, so I will just post these crazy things:
1. I have a stuffed animal that my mother gave me when I first flew on an airplane for the first time alone when I was 8...I still have it, her name is "peachy" because she used to be peach in color. I actually had it packed in my bag when I went into labor. I sleep with it every night and it drives Tim nuts...I plan on giving it to Kara someday, for now, I just let her play with it, Im not ready to give it to her yet.
2. I got pregant after I had my thyroid out, thats why I got pregnant!
3. My daughter is named after 4 different people...Kara (the name of the doctor that took my thyroid out) Michelette (my mothers name "michele", my middle name "collette" and Tim's godmother "Ms. Scholette")
4. I agree with Sarah, I miss being pregnant so badly, even though I complained on a daily basis, I miss feeling her kick inside of me, but everyday when she smiles at me makes all the pain so worth it.
5. I love to cook, contrary to what my family says...I just told like to take the time and spend 3 hours in the kitchen when I've worked all day. I'm not all about prep-time.
6. I get ready "bass-ackwards" in the morning, I pee, shower, brush my teeth, to my makeup, hair and then get dressed, I have it down to a tee on how long it takes me to get ready (it all depends on how I do my hair) I've recently diagnosed myself with OCD...it's weird. I time it from the time I get up to the time I get out the door...thank god for Tim because it's been 4 months and kara isn't integrated into my morning work schedule. Sometimes, she is, and it takes me an extra 30 mins. to get her ready.
I tag...Sarah again, Kristi and Stefania, oh and Tracey too...thats all because no one else that looks at this has a page...that I know of...if you do, let me know!!!!!

Early Morning Days
Well, its 930 a.m. and I feel like i've been up since 4...probably because I have! Miss Kara decided this morning at 4:10 that it was play time. She sat in her crib, talking away until I went to get her and she gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen...Daddy fixed a bottle and fed her while I dozed back off...she downed her bottle and then started talking and squealing (her new thing) so I was awake, playing with her...we listened to it rain, watched the sun come up and then she passed back out for a while, so Mommy could take a shower! It was hard for me to get going this morning. My hair looks like absolute crap this morning, my "friend" ironically came for a visit when I got up with Kara so I feel fat and bloated so I'm wearing a maternity shirt today to cover the extra weight! It's raining out, and just plain crappy day! Not to mention when I was walking out the door this morning (a little late I may add) I ran back for my checkbook, that of which I can't find!!! I'm sick to my stomach...I got to work and my office mate says, hunny, did you eat breakfast? I said...nope...she said, it's early, I'll watch your phones, run to starbucks and get a coffee...actually here's money get one for me and yourself...janet's a lifesaver! So my LARGE coffee with extra splenda and an extra shot of expresso is "cold coffee" now! But still good of course...
just thought I would vent a little...back to work!

The Fun Family Times
So, had to share this little story of last night...I got home at 430 after picking up the boys to find Tim still in his PJ's with a look on his face. My facial expression was surely a "what the hell are you still doing in your PJ's look" because he just started laughing. He said "hunny, I can't put her down, she just cries..." I laughed took her from him as he took Tyler from my arms. I played with her, changed her, and put her in her bouncy seat to watch me start to cook dinner...she was fine, so I'm starting to think that all she wants is just her mommy home! Sorry Kara, I really like this job, I think I'll be staying!
Anywho...the funny story is...after dinner and we got cleaned up and took Tyler back to meet Heidi. I had to run some errands I wrote out some checks to be deposited and paid, etc. We went to Target and Tim and I got laughing because anyone who knows me knows that I am a very indecisive person and so I was debated on a bag for work...all I came in there for was water and some office supplies...got the water along with everything else I didn't need and NOT the bag. Tim and I laughed so hard because he kept going "are you sure" "are you sure" "hun, you don't want this one?" Anyway, we left Target, all of us in a great mood. We head down Arsenal Street to hit traffic bad, now mind you its 8p.m. and traffic sucks in Watertown. I needed to go to Price Chopper to get WIC so I told him to keep going, well after 10 minutes of sitting in traffic making fun of other people, we cut through the mall parking lot and then I realized that I can't go to Price Chopper...I proceeded to tell him to cut back across one parking lot, then I told him to just never mind...we headed home...we get ONE...ONE block from our house and he says, anything else you need to do? I said "SHIT I need to go to the bank (BACK DOWN ARSENAL ST) we laughed so damn hard we had to pull over, I thought Brandon would pee his pants. Wait, there is a Community Bank on the square, we'll go there...we head down there...after trying 3 enterances no luck, we need to have a debit card to get into the night drop...down arsenal street we go, laughing all the way, again making fun at other people. We finally get to the bank, I get out to drop the payment off, Tim drives off (im giggling just typing this) and leaves me there, once again Brandon is laughing the whole time...kara of course is zonked out in the back seat. We head back home, Tim says once again, "anything else hunny?" I said, no...he goes well after all that I need a coffee!!! We got our coffee and headed home!
Thanks for listening, I'm sure this doesn't sound as funny when you read it, its just one of those things that you had to be there to enjoy it!

Mommy's First Day
Mommy started her new job this morning and I stayed home with my daddy. My daddy and me had so much fun we played and played and played until I fell asleep in his arms. I like sleeping in daddy's arms, he seems to have just the right amount of hair to cushion my bald spot. Speaking of bald spot...daddy has one too. Mommy said he is just getting old(ER).
Mommy wrote down everytime I should eat throughout the day and a dont forget daddy to change my diaper note. He's the best daddy but sometimes we play soo much that I pee sooo much that I pee on daddy cause my diaper is full. Mommy only called home a few times to check on me...but with her having her own office, she texts daddy all day to see how i am. she says I am her pride and joy and love of her life, someday I will know what that means.
Mommy loves her job, so far. She met so many new people and they were all really really nice to her. She has her first meeting tomorrow and she is quite nervous, her big boss is quite intimidating, so she hears. Anyway, thanks for reading...I go to miss kims tomorrow, so I'm sure mommy will call her a lot more than she calls daddy!
kisses to all
p.s. i like to kiss with tongue...
p.s.s mommy is still at work and can't wait to come home and get tongue kisses from me!
p.s.s.s don't you love how mommy can read my mind from work?

Kool Krap about Kara
As we are approaching the 4month mark (I know I can't freakin believe it) I thought I would share some cool things that I can do:
1.) I have found facination in TV...not cartoons, I am more particular to Lifetime, and love crayola crayon commercials. If I am fussy mommy puts me in front of the TV and I start talking and laughing at it...I'm not sure if it is the sounds or because our 57in TV is like a movie theater to me.
2.) I love to stand up, look around and talk to you...I am strong, but when I get lazy I will drop to my knees and still talk to you.
3.) I have discovered the new thing called sitting up...we love it...except when I try it in my carseat I get really really pissed cause I'm strapped in.
4.) I am sleeping in my own bed now, we have weined away from the swing
5.) Daddy makes me laugh the hardest...and I'm pretty sure one of these days I will pop because of my laughing so hard...I love my daddy
6.) my new golden hour is 5a.m. and I love to talk and laugh and play...until of course its time to go back to sleep.
7.) Cat naps drive mommy nuts...she gets nothing done
8.) I've finally grown out of my 0-3 mo clothes...apparently grammie doesn't think I have enough other ones, so she continues to buy me more!
9.) I can't sleep without my paci and my "mr. burpie", and burpie has to go over my face, cause if it's not I will fight until I get it there myself.
10.) And lastly, when Mommy takes away my paci, I love to suck my thumb sideways...Mommy is trying to get a picture, but I always gag myself before she takes the picture...haha
Hope you are starting to know me better...I'm getting big and growing so fast, mommy cries all the time cause she doesn't want me to grow up.
My mommy got a new job and she is really going to like this one, it's almost everything she's ever dreamed of...she will be the Secretary/Director of Pre-School at Jefferson Rehabilitation Center...she has her own office, and has 51 students to care for...she is getting real excited, she starts the 19th. I will be staying home with daddy lots of days but some days I will be going to Ms. Kims house, she's cool, her daughter just loves to play with me...and I love socks, their cat, shes furry and friendly, I laugh at her! Mommy says when Tyler comes to live with us (hopefully soon) he won't be going to Ms. Kims, he will be going to work with Mommy cause they have daycare, and it's cheap too!!
Oh...I almost forgot...my new swimming is in and the deck is alomst done...I have a hot new bikini i am dying to wear....I'll have mommy post pics when I get to wear it...I hear mommy saying that she wants to play dress up real soon, because I smile so much and it's so pretty...
oh yeah...my hair...its dark when I'm inside, but it's red when I go outside...mommy and grammie said, they will keep me inside so it stays dark...thats all for now, mommy wants to play
love you all

So Much to Update
Well, where to begin. My princess tubby is getting TUBBY! I put an outfit on her today and she just looked so darn cute and chubby! While I am typing she is sitting in her swing in front of the TV, yelling at me. You know the not really crying, love hearing myself babble, mommy come get me noise. Just this morning Tim was holding her in a sitting position on the couch and we were chatting when all of a sudden she just started laughing...we both looked at her and her eyes were glued to the TV, a crayola crayon commercial...too funny...
She is sleeping awesome. She eats about 9-930ish and is out until 7a.m. And 7a.m on the dot. We don't need an alarm clock, she is ours. And its really funny because before Kara was born and we had Tyler he was the exact same way...7a.m. not a minute before or a minute after 7. Everyday she continues to amaze us. She did start laughing just last weekend. She laughed for the first time at Tyler he was playing and talking to her and she just started going...he belly got going and then her whole body shook and she laughed and laughed...I cried. We have noticed in the last couple weeks that her attitude is increasing. Tim told my mother she really acts like me...she wants what she wants and wants it yesterday! When we put her down to take a nap, she kicks the swing until we pick her up. She has daddy's temper...red heads anyway!!! I could really go on forever, but her babbling has turned to COME PICK ME UP NOW MOTHER!...heres some pictures and as always I promise to post more often! p.s. as i was uploading i remembered and noticed that most all of our pictures are on our phones...guess i will start to transfer to computer this weekend!
love to all
