Just a few things....

So, I'm nurse-less for the next 10 days. Probably. I may have a nurse for 3 of those 10 days. Still 7 days! Aaaah! Charlie's nurse went on vacation and we STILL haven't filled the other hours! For anyone who doesn't get why being without help is a big deal....imagine being woken up multiple times a night, not getting a chance to nap the next day, hopping up for meds and feeds a dozen times a day, stopping whatever you are doing 30 times a day to suction, having to do things you aren't used to having to do, like clean out the suction canister and oral care, and Charlie is NOT having a good time right now...that's on top of regular baby care. And ever try to entertain a child who cannot entertain themselves? Yeah...it's exhausting. We made it through Day 1 though. Only 9 more to go.

Weight-bearing. I've got her up on her knees. She didn't dislike it but wasn't particularly amused either.

Her new dress! She got this at her birthday party (thanks Wright family!). It's actually a 4T tank, but looks great as a dress with layers. And bonus...she can wear it for years probably. :-)

Adrian, once again SO proud to be holding his little sis. Can you tell it FREAKS Charlie out!? I mean I don't blame her, he does have a tendancy to drop her. Which I didn't let him do today, by the way. Still, she was NOT happy.

Charlie's birthday cake!

And cupcakes!

I'll have the pics from the actual party up next week probably!
