IT'S FINISHED!!!:o)

After a very busy weekend..it's finally finished..below you will find pictures of my FABULOUS new room!! :o) I hope you like the outcome....

 I am thinking Brown curtains....:) 

These are the canvas paintings I painted yesterday! :o) (Thanks Brittany for giving me the idea to do canvas paintings!) 

A quickie!

Waiting in the lobby at the tanning salon with her Aunt Bailey while I was relaxing in the tanning bed! :o) SHE IS SO CUTE!

New bedding.

I am obssessed with http://www.overstock.com/. Besides having great products! They have GREAT prices too! I just made my very first purchase from this website last Friday...



Since I have been in desperate need of new bed linens, I decided to take a gander over at Overstock, and found this AMAZING retro bedding ensemble that I am TOTALLY stoked about!!! :o) and...(drum roll please...) HERE IT IS!:

Cute? I KNOW! :o) My problem now, is that I dont know what color to paint my room....Right now it is this AMAZING bright pink color...(Since I am living with my dad at the moment, until I get my bearings on things, this is what I was stuck with...my paint of choice, um...? 5 years ago!?) So I figured I would grow my room up a little bit! :) Mature it a little..if you will. I am stuck on that awesome goldish yellow color, or maybe a darker beige color!? a shade or two lighter then the brown mocha-ish color in the bedding....any suggestions!?

Now, on to the stupidity that is my brain....I was soo excited about making this purchase that I forgot to change the size of my new FABULOUS bedding to fit my Queen-sized bed...and ordered a CALIFORNIA FLIPPIN KING! :( So...I "live chatted" with a rep from Overstock, today as a matter of fact, and she told me that once I receive it (which hopefully should be today or tomorrow!) that I have to return it...get a refund and then "RE-ORDER it in the right size...IF AVAILABLE"! Once I get it, if it's not completely wrapped up and I can still get into it to pull out a pillow sham, I am going to Home Depot to pick out my new wall color and will be painting this weekend! :o) I am very excited for this change..to have a "big girl" room...instead of looking at all of my crap from High school! :) (Which will go somewhere in my bathroom I think!?) Big girl bed room with a little girl bathroom..sounds good to me! haha Anywho..help a sista out with the wall color..I think I am leaning more towards the goldish-yellowish!?.........

What an eventful week we had!

So...Monday, Reagan had her 6 month check-up with her pediatrician in town. It went well...she is doing fine PLUS SHOTS! :( 1 out of 4 shots was the flu shot, which made her run a fever the next day....when she had an appt. in birmingham. Needless to say, the drive to and from B'ham was not fun! She cried the whole way...slept maybe 15-20 minutes she did good while we waited in the waiting area for AN HOUR AND 30 MINUTES! but then when we got back to the room she started crying her little eyes out! I found a counting pop-up book with animals and sat her on the patient table and read the book to her..she loved it. Not shortly after the 2nd time through the book, Dr. Neurologist walked in and checked her out. I was expecting them to do a head ultrasound..and maybe an x-ray!? NO MA'AM...All they did was check her reflexes and see if she could follow a light with her eyes...and SHE'S FINE! There is a possibility of her having seizures down the road, but since she hasnt had any since she came home form the hospital, she could be fine and not have to come back to see them! (I was VERY relieved to hear her say that!) All, 5 thousand, of her appointments went well and she was a trooper through all of them...except the neuro. one.

Her fever has gone down, but I am PRETTY SURE she has decided to begin sprouting some wittle teefies! haha. I must say....this teething thing...NOT COOL! She won't eat and she cries all the time. Reagan is always a happy baby, but now, not so much. (Any advice in this area would be appreciated by all you moms who have babies with teeth!) She is doing a little better today, and will only eat about 4-5 ounces of formula..and solid food, you can forget it. I will try to feed her green beans tonight and see how she does. (Lord, please let her eat her green beans without spittig them all over my face!)

As for now, she is well...and pretty much perfect! :o)

I sure do appreicate EVERYBODIES prayers during her stay at Children's. She truly is a miracle.

Newborn Follow-up Clinic

So, Reagan's appt last week in Birmingham went VERY WELL! The doctors that came in to see her all said that she was "perfect". This appt. was just to see how she was growing according to her age, and how much weight she has gained..all that good stuff...and for all the stuff that she went through after she was born, they seemed a little shocked to notice that she was developing so well! I was a very proud mommy! :o) Reagan is such a little miracle and a blessing! She is the joy of all my days! I really don't know what I would do without her!!

After her appt. my cousin and I went to grab some lunch at Five Points Grille (who recently just changed their menu, I was very upset not to be able to indulge in their YUMMY strombolis!) then we went to the Galleria and walked around and then decided to go to the Vulcan! hahaha This is so funny, because everytime our grandmother goes to the Ham, she FREAKS out about the Vulcan..and LOVES going..lol so we had a fun time with that..I will post some pictures to this post when I get home, I dont have any of those pictures on this comp. at work. haha we had a great day! :o)

GOD IS SO GOOD!! Tomorrow is her big neurology appt. in Bham. Pray that it will go just as well if not better than this last one! :o)

SO need to GO to bed!

Just a QUICKIE! I found this awesome blogger! She posts some fun creative games for your kids to learn to recognize number...some recipes that look SOO yummy I could eat them write off the screen...and also some neat crafts to do with your kids on rainy days! Take a gander...You might just begin to LOVE it like me! ♥

NB Follow-up, 6mth. check-up & Neuro. OH MY!

Yeah, thats right...that would be THREE[3] dr. appts all in the matter of 6 days, 4 business days for little miss Reagan!



Tomorrow morning at 9 IN THE MORNING, Reagan has her new born follow-up clinic in Birmingham! ..Did I mention it was 9 in the mornTing!? omg...I will DEFINITLEY be stopping by a McD's on the way for that free coffee deal!?...if they still have it.



Monday afternoon she has her 6 month check-up with her pediatrician in town...and then TUESDAY is the big one...she goes back to Children's Hospital to follow-up with the neurologist about the seizures she had during her stay. Hopefully I will hear some good news with that appt. Like I said in my last blog post, she is acting like any normal 6 (almost7) month old baby! She hasn't had any seizures since coming home!



I am so grateful that she was able to go to a hospital like Children's. That place is so amazing! They saved my baby girl's life and I don't think I could EVER express my gratitude towards her nurses who stayed by her side all throughout the day and night, and the Doctors who kept up with her and who performed some scary procedures. I will forever support the Children's Health System.
