Merry Christmas

Hope everyone has had a very Blessed Christmas.

Of all Bella's toys she seems to love her Sock Monkey Christmas ornament we got her from the Funky Monkey. So much she crashed with it.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

My Family

Of course you all know Miss Bella. Wanted to share pictures of our little family. Bella couldn't get out of the tree long enough to look at the camera I guess that is what I get for have a pink shiny tree. And no your eyes are not playing tricks on you Bella is not off the oxygen yet but with the low settings she can come off now for little time periods and can hold her oxygen it is just long periods she is not yet ready for. But keep your prayers coming and your fingers crossed we go to the doctor today so who knows what they might say.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
Merry Christmas

Sneak Peak

More to come.....

9 months and counting

I can't believe it Bella turned 9 months yesterday. She is getting such a little personality. She loves spending her day playing with her toys. I could not have asked for a better little girl. Actually I did ask I prayed all the time that God would bless me with a wonderful little girl. I just never could have know how wonderful she would be. Sometimes she makes me want to tape her hands down to keep them off her oxygen line but this is of no surprise after the months in the NICU pulling things out. Just a small price to pay for the most wonderful little girl.

We had a great Thanksgiving Bella was a big girl and sat in her high chair with the family. Everything turned out very nice and we had a great time with family.


Not the best picture of Bella but a good one of Big Brother. I get so few now that he is older that when I get a good one I have to share it. Don't they look just a like.



So far this month. Yes it has been that long since I posted so be prepared for a long post.

Bella's first snow 12/2/09. We didn't get a chance to take her out to play in it she had a doctors apt. So by the time we got back home it was all gone. But she enjoy looking at it when we got in the car. And it was nice to see the snow coming down. This was from our front door.

She had her OT visit last Monday all went well. She showed us ways to encourage Bella to sit herself up. Big help something I would have never done had she not showed us. She is really into sitting up now in her chair and checking the world out from that point of view.

Last doctors apt she was 12 lbs 6 oz. Everything going good. She came off two meds so now just a single cocktail of meds for her twice a day. Went down to 1/32 on her oxygen. We still have to adjust as need at night sometimes to 1/16. Breathing treatments are as needed for the smoker cough she occasional has.

Sorry for the same 9 month pics didn't get any as good as Nana's so I lifted them from her And yes she has matching boots that go with this outfit. Just one of her and PARKER at the end of the day.
