Feeling Better Now! And It's Almost Time to March For Babies!!

 Well hello everybody! My week was soooooo much better than before! For two reasons, 1. I'm finally getting better!!! And 2. My Dr's appointment got cancelled!!! Dont know why but when daddy and I got there they said I didnt need shots anymore!! What an amazing feeling that was!! And to be perfectly honest that was the ONLY new news of the week! Ya not much to report here other than that! I am back to only waking up once or twice a night too so its been easier on good ole mom and dad! Also its been a whole lot of tough love lately for me when it comes to bed time. No more halo blankets for me and now when I am put to bed I AM PUT TO BED, after the first couple of nights I learned I can no longer just cry for attention any longer :( But after a couple days I fall right asleep a lot quicker than I did before. So now i am getting more sleep at night and that means a much happier baby in the morning :)

 This is my reaction at the Dr's when daddy said we were going home with no shots!! Hehehe :) Anyways still no more new teeth, I now am on teething tablets and my mum mum's and so far its been a lot better than normal :) Ya and when it comes to crawling I STILL can't figure it out ugh!!! I get up on my knees real good now and try to rock myself forward but yep still cant get it :( But it looks like I know how to do push ups pretty well :) After about 5 min of trying to figure out crawling I get upset and mad and then I give up :( Ugh maybe next week!

 Yep like I was saying earlier, that was about it for the week!! Which is good because I was able to rest up enough for my big March of Babies walk this weekend!! Yep in only 4 days some of my family members and my friends are gonna walk to honor and help out preemies like myself whom are stuck in the hospital beds waiting to come home! I again want to thank all of you that have pledged money to our cause and we are honored to walk for your donations :) I hope we do this every year because my family and I want to do everything we can to help out all the others in our situation. In a lot of ways I have lucked out so far in life because lets be honest I had it pretty easy, but there are many families out there that need help so my parents and I will always do everything we can to never forget where I came from and what I can do to help prevent other parents from going through what mine had to :) As you can tell this cause means a lot to me and again thank you all for your help with spreading the word!!! :) And I will see all of you that are walking with me on saturday :)

Daddy wanted a pic of me and LOOK who jumped in!! Thats ok I love my sister :) Well I really have nothing more to talk about, but thats ok because I am sure I will have lots to talk about next week :) I love you all and I hope you all have a great night too!! Be sure to click on my link below, this is your last chance to check out my March for babies page to see what you can do to help preemie babies and their families :) Have a great week guys and I will see you next Monday!! :) Ta ta!

A Weekend Away From Home & I'm STILL Cranky :(

Well yep the title pretty much speaks for itself, you see that happy baby up there yep that lasted a total of 32 seconds because I had yet another rough week caused by teething and getting over my cold/ear infection. Every day that goes by for the past month I feel slightly better than the day prior and even needier :( And as always when I don’t feel great I want to be held every minute of every hour of the WHOLE DAY, and NO ONE can do that for me!!! Between my separation issues and my mouth pain I just don’t know how to calm myself down anymore, especially when I am just by myself trying to entertain myself! Mommy or Daddy will sit me on the ground to play with my toys and I am Ok as long as they are with me and watching me, but the second they move away from me I erupt!! I hope I am not always going to be this needy, because I sure don’t like this feeling! And I am pretty sure that everyone else around me is getting annoyed with it as well!! Oh well at least I am still cute!! :) 

No more new teeth have popped out yet, they are still there in my mouth pushing on my gums and hurting me real bad :(. They are soooo slow to grow!! I just wish they would all come in at the same time because I can’t deal with this any longer!! I have been eating some mum-mum’s to help deal with the pain and lately that is the ONLY thing working anymore! I don’t like cold things too much, mostly because they are SUPER cold for my mouth and the shock of it all just makes me upset :( I chew on my hands but I end up hurting myself :( I try to chew on other things around me like toys but that only works so long :( So I chew on my mum-mum’s, they are a delightful treat AND a baby mouth soother :) I have been taking Tylenol as well almost DAILY and still the pain stays around :( So far I think this whole teething thing has been the worst part of my life!! I can’t sleep at night with it either, which means I STILL wake up about 2-3 times a night!! Oye I can’t wait for this nightmare to be over !!

LOOK I can hold my own bottle!! ON MY OWN TOO!!! And thats about it for this weeks achievements too!! Anyways tomorrow marks my FINAL synagis shot!!! I thought my last one was going to be the LAST but guess not the Dr. says I need one more:( Oh well at this point the thought of a shot still wouldn't hurt as bad as these crazy teeth of mine! At least I get to be weighed tomorrow to see how much bigger I have gotten in the last month and that is always good news for me!! Oh and next month I will have my 1 year Dr's appointment!! Wow a whole year has almost passed and the thought of that still blows my mind! In other news my balance has increased so much that I am able to stay up on  my own all by myself with no support!! The only problems I am having now is getting back up in a sitting position once I tumble down. I'm almost there though and I'm sure I will figure that out next! Crawling is still too hard for me to figure out, but I am on my knees now in crawling position  just need to figure out how to make all my arms and legs cooperate together and then I will be off and moving!! :) Also mommy is trying to teach me how to wave and do a high 5!! I try to copy her and I don't know if I am doing it right but its sure fun to try new things that makes mommy smile :)

As for the rest of my week it was all more or less the same but I did get to spend the weekend at Auntie Jade's house with my brother Jayce!! The only bad part about that is that I did have to say good bye to mommy and daddy and that doesn't make me feel so happy, but I think they both needed a break just to catch up on some sleep and other chores, and maybe a new environment for me with new things to stare at and experience would cheer me up! And for the most part it did!! For the first night we all watched some tv shows and the boys played with me till bed time and I had my normal routine of waking up 3 different times. Oye. But the next day started out real good and fun but later it got pretty bad, my teeth were hurting me terribly towards bed time so I was up almost 10 different times! And each time Jade had to rock me back to sleep :( Sorry Auntie Jade that I was such a rough guest :( But we did have fun besides all of that, plenty of time I spent playing with everyone and trying to learn new things like how to do high 5's! My goof ball brother and I had lots of fun making funny noises at each other too, he always seems to make me smile even when my mouth hurts!! :) If it makes you feel any better Jade I did only wake up once last night :) Hehehehe sorry for saving all my wake ups for you :) Next time I will be better I promise, again thank you sooooo much for having me over I really did have a blast with all you guys thanks for giving my mommy and daddy a break. It's always fun to spend time at new places :)

It’s now time for me to be getting to bed. These last 4 weeks have been pretty tough on me and my family but I hope this is the week things start to finally go back to normal! It’s really hard on me to be upset all the time because I LOVE my life and my family and all the friends I get to see and hear from everyday!! But it sure makes it hard to show it when I am constantly crying and looking for comfort! So please don’t take it personal guys!! I still love and adore you all, just going to have to put up with this little ornery princess just a little while longer :) Once my teeth come all the way in, I’m sure I’ll be back to smiles, giggles and laughs all the time again! So pray for teeth guys!! I need the help!! :) And before I forget if you click below right on the picture of my face you can get magically transported to my March for Babies page.

Birthday For My Sister & I Have Separation Issues!!! EEEEK!!!

Hello everybody! Well I am back and feel better than ever!! Well maybe not 100% better but I would say at least 70% All last week I finished up my med’s and my ear infection seems to have packed its bags and left my pretty little head! And of course that was good news for me because I was FINALLY able to lie down flat again and sleep better :) BUT that does not mean I had an easy week at all getting to sleep. Ya I just don’t know what it is, I get laid down to sleep then about 5 minutes later I am up and crying. I think I am developing some major attachment issues!! When mommy or daddy leaves me in a room and I notice they are not there I FREAK out and start crying!! And I continue to cry until they pick me up and hold me again for a bit! I don’t know what it is but it feels like if they walk out of the room I may NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN!!! And what a horrible thought that is for a little baby like me!!! But once they get me and hold me I am A’ok and they ensure me that they are going nowhere, but man oh man that’s a scary feeling!! For 11 months I have bonded with my parents and just the thought of them leaving scares me! I don’t know why now all of the sudden I am having these feelings but I sure don’t like them!! Maybe that’s why I can’t sleep at night??? Oh well, either way they always come to make me feel better, and rock me back to sleep :) Even with the ear infection going away and getting real food in my tummy I STILL wake up about 1-3 times a night, and only on the RAREST of occasions do I ever sleep through the night! Time to face facts I just can’t be away from either of them that long and when I do I cry to get them back, and like cockwork they ALWAYS come back to get me :)

Well besides my separation anxiety I have been having a great time working on sitting up on my own! Now I can sit ANYWHERE and hold myself up the ENTIRE time!! This is really cool until I get too crazy with my movements and tumble over! Now I am SUPER close to getting myself back up once I do fall and I should have this figured out really quick! Now I just sit there on the floor and play with all my toys around me! I can reach out and grab them, chew on them, and then throw them to make way for new toys to play with!! Just yesterday I was sitting next to daddy while he was playing a game on the TV and he handed me a controller too! Instead of playing with him I just chewed on it and beat on buttons till I unexpectedly quit his game while he was playing it!! Sufficed to say I will never get to use that controller again :( Oh well I still had plenty of stuff to play with aka chew on, around me :)

No new news in the teething category. I still have my two top and bottom front teeth and that’s about it! I can tell something is about to pop up soon in the back but it just hasn't happened yet! And lately I have noticed that NO ONE will let me chew on their hands anymore! I think I may bite too hard :( Heck sometimes I bite my own hands and feet too hard! And yes I do like to chew on my tootsies :) But all this extra chewing practice is sure going to get me ready for my birthday cake! Yep that my friends is only a month away now!! Can you believe it! ME the preemie princess weighing in at almost 19 pounds will be having her 1^st birthday party next month! Oh man I can’t wait!! I can only imagine all the yumminess of my very first cake! And getting presents too! I can’t wait to “try” to open my first presents! Christmas time I could not do much but hopefully this time I can figure it out!! Now if you want an invite to my birthday spectacular you need to be sure to let me know in the comments section, or send my mommy and daddy an email! You know me I have A LOT to celebrate considering where I am today! What a long year it sure has been, but as always I wouldn’t trade it in for anything :)

As for the rest of my week I pretty much just worked on getting healthy, getting up on my own, driving my parents bonkers, and having my sister’s birthday party!!! All the family was over as usual and we all celebrated the fact that my sister Lexi just turned 6!! Her best friend Brookie was even over for the entire weekend!! She got soooo much pretty and fun stuff that I sure was envious of!! Lots of dolls, glitter tattoo’s, new GORGEOUS clothes, and even a fish bowl!! Pretty crazy seeing fish for the first time, there are just like me when I am in water, kicking and splashing and having a great time! Very cool gifts sister! I hope you liked everything you got too! And like always, I got to sit in my walker thingy and watch EVERYONE else enjoy their cake and ice cream!! I tell you NO MORE PEOPLE!!! THE NEXT TIME THERE IS A PARTY, I SHALL BE THE ONE ENJOYING CAKE!! AND YOU ALL SHALL BE THE ONES WATCHING!! HAHAHAHA!!! Ok but seriously its getting old seeing you all enjoy yourself with sweets and I get liquefied peas and squash…. Ya thanks a lot people!! :) Either way as usual I had a great time and it was really fun seeing my sister so happy and excited!! Thank you all for coming and a VERY BIG happy birthday to you big sister I love you!!! :)

Besides the birthday party I DID get to spend my first 

fair amount of time outside!! Yep!!! On Sunday mommy and daddy had to clean up the front yard and do yard work, so who gets to watch me you ask, well that was solved by bringing me outside!! Mamma got me all bundled up and put me in my walker thingy and I got to sit on the deck and watch them work!! AND I got to see the big blue skies and all the trees, and hear the birds, it was fantastic!! And it was fascinating to just watch mom and dad do all that work! They got to play in the dirt, dig in the ground and cut some bushes and grass!! Sure looked like fun too! Maybe by the time the summer months roll around and I learn to actually walk, or heck EVEN CRAWL, I can come out and help them next time. Either way it sure was fun being outside for more than just being transported back and forth from my carseat! Can’t wait to do it again!!

AAAAAND as always it’s time to say good bye! I had a pretty long night last night and I must get to sleep at a decent hour! So I bid you all farewell and I hope to see you all next week! Now I am still debating on what I am going to do with my little blog/website, so here sometime soon I will leave it all up to you the reader! I will put up a poll on what to do with my website after I turn one. Originally this blog was just going to last till I got home, and now look at me still writing away and I am almost 1 now!! I know this can’t go on forever but I just don’t know what to do from here on out, so I’ll come up with some ideas over the next few months and leave it up to you guys to vote on :) LASTLY there is only 18 days till my march for babies walk! So please click on my VERY BEAUTIFUL picture below (past the picture of me asleep) to see how YOU can be a part of helping preemies like myself and their families in their times of need :)

I love you all and I will see you all next Monday! Olivia the Prettiest Preemie Princess in the World Is Outta Here!!!
