Well......we're doing it again! Hadley is going to be a big sister. We told our extended family over Christmas. I had a shirt made with Hadley's name on it. On the shoulder it says "Big Sister". Surprisingly it took everyone a while to figure it out. So far things have gone well.
My biggest fear is the MSPI. There is a 50% chance this baby will have it, and could have it worse. However, we were so mishandled in the beginning who knows what "worse" could mean. I could try nursing with the restricted diet (which I'm scared to do but would prefer) or go straight to Neocate and things will be fine. I'm trying to stay positive, but prepare ourselves for an NG tube at a minimum. Lenny has some younger cousins that we later found out were both on NG tubes-even the second one that they were prepared for MSPI with. OR we could get lucky and have a perfectly normal baby. If that happens I don't think we'll know what to do!
Hadley says she has a baby brother in her tummy. According to her so do I, Daddy, and the dogs. She doesn't quite get it yet, but she's in for a shocker!! I'm thinking she'll be a good big sister.
I need to get some Christmas pictures off my camera and posted. Hadley really liked seeing Santa this year. She saw him a total of 4 times. Every time she told him she wanted two toys....I'm sure that will change in a few years. :) Christmas morning Santa brought her a bouncy house that she really likes. She received tons of other great gifts that we've been playing with and opening slowly over the last few weeks.
Hadley was on a kick again where it took 2-2..5 hours to get her to bed after lots of screaming and crying. This also included her breaking two night lights and getting in to hand sanitizer. She is quite the determined little girl. I always thought after the MSPI things would just get so much easier, but there is always a new phase around the corner. Some are fun and some, like this week, aren't so fun. I think we finally figured out what was causing her not to go to bed.
One phase I am enjoying is her imaginite play. She has a way bigger imagination than I ever recall having. She plays with her dolls and talks to them. She plays with her cats and dogs like they are human friends. Its great! She loves her princess dress and Cinderella dress. She's such a girl!
