darla

Alrighty....so I just typed out a nice, long blog and Cole managed to erase the whole thing. Who knew the little darling was so smart. So here i am again. I'm nursing Dayne for the third time in about 30 minutes. Hey, I'm not complaining. I finally have a baby with rolls! Yeah! And I would have to say that today was Dayne's first "official" smile. So cute! She even added a little squeel. I guess this is the reason we keep having 'em. Even when it's SOO hard sometimes. Cole loves his "baby didster" soo much and is constantly trying to lay on top of her...kiss her cheeks (and mouth)...oh, and pull her little canula tubes out of her nose. Not that we've had them in that often at all. she had an oxymetry test again last weekend and I thought FOR SURE the doctor would call and congratulate us on having done so well with her and now we could remove the oxygen...to no avail. He called yesterday and told me that your oxygen levels should be above 90% and it's okay if they go below that 7% of the time...Dayne goes below that 28% of the time. I just don't understand it!!! She seems fine, breathes fine..cries fine. So I'm bringing her in on Tuesday for her 2 month (can you believe it? She's 2 months!! not 6 months like I previously stated) and if he can't figure it out then we'll be sent to a pulmonary specialist. So we'll see. We were going to go camping tonight but Geof. is working a double...from 10 pm last night to 2 pm today...and I think that's just crazy! Don't you Bennetts need sleep?!!! I guess I should say: Don't you BEECHERS need sleep? He's a nutball. Um...what else is happening in our crazy lifes? Well, yesterday cole, dayne and I went to the waterpark and I, thinking i must be soo tan, decided to not apply sunscreen on my legs. Instead I borrowed my cousin's tanning oil. Yeah, so I'm so burnt today I can barely walk. GOod thing I'm not so ridiculous with my kids. Cole has a wonderful little tan that goes so nicely with his blonde locks...he looks a lot like his cousin Sadie. Speaking of Sadie, and Brooke, and the whole Stinchfield clan...I can't wait to see you in August!!! Will we see Mike or what? I can't believe he's going to Korea. Can Ellery go visit?...alright, I'm babbling. Have agood day everyone. Meags, any baby yet? Leash, sorry you feel like crap. DOn't you just wish you could hire a nanny that really really loved your kids on days like this? Sometimes i just want to sleep all day and then i hear cole in the other room counting to himself and I know if I don't get up ASAP the blinds will be ruined and the screen pushed out the window. Why does my child feel he has to be so destructive? -darla
