Father's Day and Joanna's baptism!

Yesterday was a great day all together! We woke up pretty early and celebrated my husband's first Fathers day by watching some cartoons and snuggling with Joanna.:) Then it was time to get Joanna all pretty for her baptism. It seemed like time flew by that morning because I was running around making sure we wouldn't forget anything. We she started out with her pretty dress on, panty hose, and cute little shoes.....well those all didnt last that long!lol We got to the church and once church started she poops!!! So I had to take her out of the church in a hurry to change her diaper...and um let's just say she was not having the panty hose got back on(she is like her mommmy, I hate panty hose too!) Well, I was able to get her shoes back on but once we sat back down in church miss busy body started to take them off and untie the bows on them, so those didnt last long either. Thank goodness it was not too much longer before the actual baptism started..We took her up there and the preacher said a few things(honestly I dont remember much, I know that horrible but I was so nervous and focused on her.lol) Then when he poured the holy water, it was ON then!! Joanna loves water so she started talking and acting like she was swimming, the whole congregation started laughing! The preacher took her into his arms and she looked back at me like "is this ok?" LOL He sprinkled her with water and she was trying to suck it up as if she was drinking it...congregation laughed again!LOL She didnt cry as he walked her down the isle, she just yelled out Mommmmma mooommma!lol

She is a mess!!:) Everyone got a good laugh at how active she was and good she was. So, here is our little ham on her baptism day!



Her squiming about...lol..










Our little family!

My mom:)



Me all hot and sweaty

First pair of Nikes!

I think these are so adorable and so did my Mom!! She couldnt leave the store without buying them.lol She even had her foot measured yesterday it was hilarious. The shoe salesman was like...wait, what..she is only 7 months old!? Wow! She is in a size 4 already!! :)
My husband and I both have big feet...me:9-10 and him: 13, so I think Joanna will have big feet like us.(sucks because you have a hard time finding cute shoes!)

There are many articles about how babies shouldnt be in shoes too early, blah blah..but my Mom was scared that she might get a splinter at their house because they have really old school style hardwood floors. Joanna loves her walker so we will put them on her over there.:) Other than that she is pretty much barefoot in the summer time especially since its so hot!

Just thought I would share these cute shoes..once she starts walking I can already see that he closet will be full of cute shoes, more shoes than I probably own.

My little Water Bug!

This weekend was great! Joanna is definitely turning into a little water bug! Takes after her mom and her dad!;) I grew up on the lake so it was very common for us to be out there in the afternoons on the jetskis/boats and especially on the weekends, so we want to make it a big part of her life as well. Its something fun that the whole family can enjoy.

I can't seem to help myself with the pictures either...I guess its a Mommy thing.

A little update from the past 7 months!LOL

So I just realized that I have no documentation whatsoever of Joanna's doc appts on here!! Soo sad. I love looking back at post just in case I forget something and I can't on here....bad momma! So I did some digging for stats and such, and figured I would do one big post with all of her stats so I would have it on my blog somewhere to look back on! So here it goes...

**Born: October 28th, 2010 at 10:07am :)
9lbs 6ozs and 21 1/2 inches long, full head of dark black hair! (Looks just like Daddy!)

**2 month appt: 15lbs, 25 1/2 inches long (and they were worried about her gaining weight at first, sheesh..) ;)

**almost 4 month appt- 19.2lbs, 28 inches long(growing like a weed!)

** 6 month appt: 24 lbs, 31.5inches long (still growing like a weed, over the 100% and in 2T clothes!!) BUT btw..looking more like her Mommy, at least I think so.hehe

And just for fun..a two 6 month pics...I havent weighed her lately or measured her now that she is 7 months, so we will be back with those stats!LOL

My little baby is getting so big:) ::tear::

What a morning...

Please forgive me if this doesnt make much sense..I am still mad and tired from this morning..

A little bit of background for those of you who don't know. Joanna has had problems pooping since birth even when I was breastfeeding. She will have better days but then it always goes back to straining and big poops that hurt her. We have tried everything, and I am mean EVERYTHING the doc has perscribed and nothing has seemed to help so far. My mom said I was the same way when I was a baby....and growing up I had ulcerative colitis and now I still have IBS...my stomach has never been right. The doc thinks she may grow out of this, man I hope so!! :( Makes me cry everytime she is in pain because I know the feeling.

Well we left at 9:30am this morning on the hunt for baby suppositories..Joanna and I ended up going to all the pharmacies in town and NO ONE had baby suppositories!! By the last pharmacy I was really about to punch someone because Joanna was straining the whole time. So...I get fed up and I call back the doctor office and say "look I can not find a baby suppository in this whole town, something has to happen.." She first says they might can see me in the afternoon...I tell her I am not trying to be rude but do you want my baby to struggle all afternoon like this??? So then she says to bring her right in...

We get there and the doctor perscribes her Miralax, hopefully that will act as a stool softener..but he is still dumbfounded by why she isnt going regularly with all the stuff we have tried. So the nurse comes in and puts in a suppository...this should work.....we wait....Joanna is screaming, crying with her legs locked out straining. I am seriously about to punch someone now......"Its not working!!!!"
So I look and about 10 minutes or so later the whole thing comes back out not dissolved at all!...so we try another one...she is still screaming. The doc comes back in and says I am going to have to go into town and now get an infant enema...the suppositories arent working!!!! So I am like WTF...do I take her into town like this? So I call my sister and thank god she was close and she bought one and brought it by.

So as we finally do an enema a poop the size of a large dill pickle comes out...an adult poop!! You could tell Joanna felt so much better...and so did I.

So after Joanna screaming and crying...me crying and about to punch someone...we finally got the poop out!! It took 4 hours of searching around town and being at the doctor to do it.

My poor baby

I'm back! I'm back!!

Well this is going to be a quick one just to get me back into the swing of things..but I plan on writing in my blog at least every other day..(shhh probably while I am at work.hehe) Its the only free time I get. I know that sounds crazy but its true! When I am at home I am running around 90mph and Joanna is very clingy at night so by the time she goes to bed I go to bed too because God only knows what her sleeping schedule will be like from one night to the next! She totally spoiled me when she was 12 weeks old sleeping from 9:30pm-7:30am on the dot every night and then BAM....something screwed that schedule up! So sleep is hard to come by these days!!
Anyways, I hope to get back into the world of blogging and join all you wonderful ladies!! I am sooooo super jealous of all the fancy blogs and blog giveaways(which I know NOTHING about, but it sounds so cool) but ya'll will just have to deal with my free background and scrapblog header for now;)
