The bloody incident


I was at work (hell) last night when Randy called. He seemed calm and I asked how his night was going. He said it was fine until Jordana had a little fall. I pictured her falling down the stairs but he said no. She was running into the dining room and she fell...her nose broke the fall, when it slammed into the base of the table leg. Randy immediately picked her up and she, of course, started balling. then the blood started flowing. Luckily it was just a nose bleed and not a surface wound. Randy said there was blood everywhere, which probably scared her even more. It was about 8:15 when he called me and I talked to her on the phone. She sounded ok but her voice was scratchy from crying. She was eating a cracker, which she thought was a cookie...so she felt all better. Randy and I checked on her constantly last night and she was fine this morning, with no visible scars from last night. Only bloody pj's which I hope Shout is working it's magic on. I think she took 10 years off Randy's life!!!

Kara sleeps


Kara's new formula seems to be helping her tremendously. She is not sleeping thru the night yet, but she is sleeping better. She seems less colicy and is eating alot more. Most nights, she'll eat 8 oz at 8pm and sleep for 6 to 8 hours....too bad they are so early in the evening and we can't cash in on it. We are slowly weaning her off her middle of the night feeding..she is down to 4 oz. She still does not nap well, doing so in 30 to 35 minutes spurts during the day...but even the teachers at daycare have noticed a difference...and they adore her. They call her Care bear!
I may be sleeping a bit better but work is still a nightmare. I had to fire someone and quickly hire someone else.My new hire is smart and will do well. I just hope the volume doesn't drive him away!

Jordana turns 3!!



Jordana's 3rd birthday was on Friday and we had a birthday party on Saturday, complete with a bouncer, hotdogs, great weather, friends and tons of fun!! Jordana woke up with a very snotty runny nose. Great timing. I spent most of the day chasing her around with tissues. Here are some snapshots!!
