Christmas this year was the best! Although Ana Bella didn't know what was going on, she made it so much fun! We were able to spend time with both sides of the family and Ana Bella got so much great stuff!! Here are a few pictures of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! And yes, the horse is for Ana Bella from my dad!!!

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad

We hope that everyone has a great holiday season!

Life is Good

Since we have been out of the hospital, Ana Bella has continued to get better and is getting so active! Tomorrow she will be three months and I can't believe how fast time has gone by! At three months Ana Bella is:

-holding her head up for longer periods of time and loves to "sit up"

-starting to really "talk"

-give the biggest smile when we talk to her

-in love with her hands and tries to consume them constantly

-so wonderful and amazing and the joy of her mommy's heart!

AR Children's Hospital

As always, the past few weeks have been crazy! The first weekend this month we had to take Ana Bella to the hospital. She became very congested, had a horrible cough, was sleeping so much we had to wake her up to feed her (and everyone that knows Ana Bella, knows she doesn't miss a feeding!!) and had a fever. After two visits to the emergency room we were admitted and stayed 3 nights at the hospital. The first night we were there they ran a catheter for a urine sample, started an IV and did a spinal tap. There is nothing worse in the world than seeing your child in pain and not being able to do anything! Then it was just a waiting game from there to make sure all the cultures and tests came back normal....and they did!! This is something I hope we never have to go through again!!
