Silly Stories of Hayden

So lately Hayden has been belting out songs at the top of her lungs when we drive in the car. And if you change the song in the middle she gets really aggrivated and says” Hey , I like that song.” It is so funny to watch her sing but its so cute. Last night we were driving home and she was singing to the song on the radio but the words were “I don’t want to go night night…I don’t want to go night night” over and over. We were laughing so hard!

Another funny story was that we went out to eat and all of the sudden Hayden started saying “I gotta poop…I got a poopie!” Well usually this means she has already gone, but she kept insisting that she needed to go to the potty. We were almost finished, and I really didn’t want to go sit in the nasty restaurant bathroom stall and try to balance her on the toilet papered seat so I just told her no not that time. Well we got up to leave and you can see that the pee has soaked through her pants and she was walking like she had been riding horses for days. It was so sad and hilarious at the same time. We did a quick change in the car and were good to go.

The other day, Hayden was taking a bath for a long time and suddenly looked at her hands and said “What in the world!!” She didn’t know why her hands were all wrinkled up. Her eyes looked so worried that somehow her hands were stuck that way for life.

During the Bee Movie, Hayden was watching and suddenly the movie hit a quiet point and at that exact time Hayden let out the loudest burp ever! We started laughing and then she said…”Oh Pardon Me!!!” and it was very loud as well. Everyone around us was laughing too…how embarrassing.

A mini update

I have many things to be thankful for, and want to sit down to put some of it into words, but for now I just want to give a little update. My little Ella has been making up for lost ground. She has been taken off her nasal cannula, her bed is now not warming her…she is regulating her own temp, she is wearing clothes, she only has two more days of antibiotics and then they will start her feeds again, and she is 4lbs. 4.2ounces., 18″ long, and her head is 11 1/2″. She is gaining a lot of weight even without being on milk!!! She will soon be able to be in an open crib and then moved to level 2 with her sister. We have all been under the weather this past week, so we haven’t been able to see the babies since Tuesday. So, the nurse that was taking care of Ella sent me this picture to tide us over….isn’t she adorable!!!!

Preslyn, is doing awesome as well. Her therapy to learn to suck, swallow, breathe is going great. Today she is up to 32cc’s which is just over 1 ounce and she drank the whole thing out of the bottle!!! Whoohoo!!! She is no longer receiving her liquid nutrients, but is doing all feeds by bottle or feeding tube. She also was able to stop her doses of caffein. Meaning her stats are doing great on their own and she doesn’t need that extra kick every morning 🙂

Hayden also had a big day today! We took her to see her first movie in the theater! We saw the Bee Movie and she loved it. I have some pics to add to this post and I’ll do that tomorrow.

For now, I’m hitting the sack 🙂 We are going to see the munchkins tomorrow…seems like its been an eternity since we have seen them.

I love this girl!!

I can’t wait to be back in her life next week 🙂 🙂 🙂
