"is she your first child?"
On Friday I was out shopping with Rachel and Joel was home with Olivia. On our way home I got a call from Joel saying that when he was putting a shirt on her, her arm got stuck in the sleeve, and when he move
d it, it made a really loud popping noise and that he and his dad were on the way to the hospital for an x-ray. He told me that John (Joel's dad) had splinted her arm and that she wasn't crying, just calm. At that point...I kinda was more worried about Joel than I was Olivia. I was pretty sure she was okay because I've heard little pops from her before. I knew that Joel would just be sick with guilt and would be so worried about her.
So we get to KMC and they are checking her in at the emergency room. I look in the car seat and she is just eating her milk from bottle...and she even smiled at me.
We finally got called back and the nurses there took all of her vitals and took of her splint. She immediately started grabbing for things and moving her arm around. That's when the nurse was like, "is she your first child?" I laughed. So they told us to go back to the waiting room to wait to see the doctor, but after sitting there for ten minutes we decided we would just go home and watch her, because she appeared to be just fine.
She's fine. Joel's fine. Fun story.
I think that I have over exerted myself lately. I went shopping the day after I got my wisdom teeth taken out, and again the day after that. Then it was Christmas and Rachel and I went sledding for like 3 or 4 hours. And then the day after Christmas, Rachel and I went shopping again.. Last night...for like 3 hours I couldn't sleep for like 3 hours until Joel gave me a pill that put me to sleep in like 15 minutes. So I think that I'm going to have to slow down. I want my mouth to stop hurting.
Olivia has changed her noises. Last month she would try to talk with her mouth closed and just make the mmmmmm noise. Now she opens her mouth really wide to "talk" and then puts her hands in her mouth and make little rhythmic noises. It is kind of hard to explain...I'll get a video. She also buzzes her lips together. That's cute.
It's bedtime.
I love my keyboard

all the hype
So it's two days after my wisdom teeth came out, and I'm just fine. One of the teeth had roots around the nerve, so that side is throbbing a bit...but other than that...I've been out shopping, playing rock band, cooking, and doing normal stuff.
The day of the surgery I slept pretty much all day, and I don't recall much about being in the doctor's office. They had me take two valium before I got there so I was pretty gone.
Joel took really good care of me during the day and changed the ice on my face every twenty minutes just like they said so I barely have any swelling.
I think maybe because I went through such a traumatic childbirth..this is pretty much not even a bleep on my pain radar. haha
Being in PF is wonderful.
I am so glad we get to spend so much time with the family.
I bought Joel's itouch. I am so excited to give it to him!! He pretty much already knows he's getting it...so...we were at Macys and found this amazing leather jacket that was like $400 and it was on sale...and with all the coupons and everything...I got it for $100!!! I'm so excited!
Olivia's first Christmas!!! YAY!!!
Well I hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!

pray for my baby
So Olivia had a doctors appointment on Thursday...and she hasn't gained any weight in four months. They wanted to test her thyroid, so they had to draw blood....from her little arms! They had to poke her three times to get enough blood because it just wasn't coming out. And then after that she had to get poked three more times for shots.
Wasn't such a fun day for Olivia. or Joel or me.
So we are just adding in two more feedings during the day, so she eats pretty much all the time.
And we have to go to the doctor weekly to have her weighed.
The weird thing is that she is growing taller. She grew like an inch and a half in the past two months...but just didn't gain any weight.
And she's developmentally ahead. She can sit up really well, and has been for two months, according to Dr. Ruby she "talks" and babbles closer to what a seven or eight month old would be doing, and and is really active and aware. So that's good.
She eats so much though!!
She has milk seven times a day, and three of those times she has some veggie or fruit puree and rice cereal with it.
Joel bought me flowers today. He had to go to the store while I was making dinner because I needed something and he came back with flowers!! Love love love.
My wisdom teeth are coming out on Dec 22nd. I'm kinda bummed because I really wanted to do it after Christmas, but the 22nd was the only day they had open the entire break. Oh, and the place I'm going to is all about not feeling the pain. Lol. They gave me three Valium pills to take, 1 the night before (to get a "good" nights sleep) and 2 the morning of. During the surgery I have IV stuff to knock me out, and afterwards I get stuff to keep me numb for awhile.
I doubt I will be able to take all of the stuff though..because Olivia still needs to eat and I don't have enough stored up to just be drugged up for that long. But I was on hydros and demerol when I was in the hospital and they still had me feed her.
I guess I'll have to ask someone about that one.
Pictures from bath time!!!
isn't she the CUTEST EVER???!?!!

only one more day of classes!
Joel and I went to the Alehouse tonight for dinner, and when the waitress brought out our food, she put my plate down (Olivia was sitting in my lap) and Olivia full out buried her hand all in the little bowl of salsa and sour cream. She just dug right in and when she pulled her hand out she just held it out in front of her and just looked at. And then I quickly proceeded to wipe it all off. It was so cute.

Note to Self.
Kathleen,
At least twice a week, open up your word document and save the pictures/words that have inspired you, ideas for your future house, recipes you want to make, things you want to do, and record your growing relationship with God.
No matter how hard you try...you will not remember most of these things unless you record them somewhere....and you are too impatient to take the time to hand write them out.
DO IT.
Oh, and you can organize with multiple word documents and folders for all the different subjects. It will make you feel happy.
Sincerely,
Kathleen

avoGROSS
Today Olivia had her very first food besides rice cereal!! I decided on avocado...and she really like it!! I thought I had made way too much...but she ate it all!!!
I have pictures of it...but we left our camera and camera case in Post Falls. So we can't take pictures with the camera, and the pictures we take with our phone can't go on our computer because the card reader thing was in our camera case.
lame.
Next Tuesday I have a consultation appointment for my wisdom teeth. I have one that's fully in, two on their way in, and one still not out yet. And my teeth won't stop moving around and hurting...so the wisdom teeth gotta go. Which is great for my mouth...but not so much for our bank account. I hope that no one is expecting and good presents this year. lol
Olivia will be six months old next this Tuesday. She's pretty much the best ever.
I had a presentation in my Pchem lab on Monday. My partner went hunting all week and had no internet connection over break so I couldn't keep in touch with him.
I had a family reunion. He offered to do the calculations and look up some stuff.
I call him when I got back in Moscow on Sunday. He told me that he had spent hours trying to solve for the concentrations. I thought he was joking because HE had made the solutions in the lab and made them the concentrations that they were. HOURS. And then...he told me the numbers that he got for the "unknown" concentrations. For the DILUTIONS that he made...all of the concentrations were HIGHER than the original solution. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
HOURS???
So, to say the least...that presentation was embarrassing. I stayed up all Sunday night doing all of the calculations, trying to research the lab...and on Monday (the day of the presentation) we put together the slide show. I presented half...he presented half. Questions were asked...stupid, lispy answers spilled out of his mouth before I could even try to speak.
Embarrassing to say the LEAST.
We're going to see The Christmas Carol on Sunday at the Kenworthy.
Can you say, "Breakfast Club is a pre-show must?"
