Best Part Of Week-My step dad found one of those little electro quads at goodwill for $6 and made up a charger for it
Worst Part of Week-Two things. Saturday I spent all day at a bazaar and I cried before I left the house in the morning. I don't really know why because she stays overnight with my mom all the time and stays with other people for short amounts of time as well. I left her with Daddy which has only happened one other time but still I had no nerves abouthim taking care of her. I was just sad and wanted to take her with.
Secondly, I started feeling shitty again and I don't know why. No daily migraines but the back pain, blurred vision and nausea are back. I have an appt with an endocrinologist Friday.
Milestones-She kknows her colors and is working on saying them. She says purple pah pull and it is adorable. Also, so many people have been telling us she looks 2 or 3. She is so grown up already!

Baby E born: 2/16/2014 at 12:56pm. 5lb 15oz
Worst part of the week- She has been crying every day at the same time and it's really hard to control her. She will open her mouth really big like when I used to nurse her when I give her her bottle. I feel like if she wants to nurse for comfort but I don't know what to do. Thankfully she has a doctors appointment tomorrow and we can hopefully see what is going on.
Milestones- IT HAS BEEN ONE BEAUTIFUL MONTH SINCE MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN
Pic- lets see if I can do this
