Humpty Dumpty
Well, this is one way to get all the attention completely off your new baby sister...
Poor Caden was having a perfect day of fun in the backyard with Mom and Grandma, ~full of stories and obstacle courses and baseball~, when it all took a turn for the Emergency Care Clinic.
He fell backwards, headfirst, off that little playset shown in the picture and broke his head open. I knew at the first cry, this was a bad fall, but I didn't expect to see so much blood gushing out! Thankfully, my mom was visiting that day and was able to get the baby and drive us while I held Caden's head together.
Caden was such a tough guy. He actually asked to see the blood coming out of his head, but had to settle for seeing it all over my hand. He had to get FIVE staples in his head and when it was over, he was back to bouncing off the walls - like it never happened. He's SUCH a BOY!

"Pants Is Hot"
Texas weather is crazy.
Sometimes it's warm enough to run around in your underwear...
...in October.
Play Day
The kids got to hang out with their cousins last week!
Ambree met them for the first time and they adored her.
We love being able to see them every once in a while.
MRI Day
Ambree's MRI came and went. Of course it was hard on me to see them put her to sleep as she was crying and squirming, foaming at the mouth, and then her body went limp, her breathing sped up, and her little tongue settled out of her lips. Needless to say, I was quite emotional when they told us to head out to the waiting room. But an hour and a half later, they told me she woke up immediately after the procedure was over - hungry and ready to be held by her mom.
We are thankful it is over without any complications ...
and now we wait for the results.
Thanks for all the prayers sent our way. I can feel them work to calm this little mama's nerves.

Growing Too Fast!
Little Miss Piggy and her Wonder Milk:
So at Ambree's check up, it was discovered that she now weighs a whopping 8 pounds, 12 ounces! WHAT?! She was born weighing 7.3, and left the hospital weighing 6.13 - and just 2 1/2 short weeks later, she gained about 2 pounds! I was in shock. She is also 22 inches now and that's the 90th percentile for her height. Tall, like her brother.
I absolutely LOVE baby bodies!
Baby feet are OH SO SWEET!
She's just growing right out of her skin and I get sad thinking about how every day that goes by is a day I won't ever have with her again. I spend every moment I can adoring her!
Unfortunately, her height and weight aren't the only things growing...the cyst is filling up little by little. I feel scared and worried about the MRI next week (because I SO wish they didn't have to put her out for it), but I'm also anxious to get some information about it.

Sleeping Angel...
and so perfectly adorable...
*____________________________________________________*
I never want to put her down!
But I have to take turns...
Caden's little emotions have been up and down with all the adjustments, but he's the best boy in the world. I don't know how we could live without him!
I have so much more to share, but not enough time! Doing everything one handed is difficult.
Diaper time - AGAIN!

Baby Hiccups
How do you get them to stop? AT gets them all the time and she is so tiny that her whole body spasms when she gets them.
She's so ridiculously cute, I could stare at her all day long.
I am absolutely and thoroughly enjoying being a Mom!

Update
Today the surgeon assured us it is not life-threatening. We have to wait a few weeks for her to get a little older for an MRI (because they have to put her to sleep for it) and then we can better tell what kind of surgery or treatment will be needed. Even though it looks really scary, it's not affecting her airways or feedings. My hope is that it will reach its limit soon and stop the daily growing. SO SCARY for an emotional mom, but we'll take it one day at a time.
My poor sweet precious baby. I've cried all I can cry (which is probably not really true), but we'll all be okay. It's been REALLY nice of my mom to take such good care of CA for us the last few days. He's having so much fun at her house, that he said he doesn't even want to come home! I miss him, but it's been nice to not have to worry about him when there is so much stress and emotions hitting us all at once right now. We appreciate everyone who cares about us. It means a lot!

New Baby!
She's so precious!
SUCH a sweet baby!
Labor was sooooooooo much better this time! 4 1/2 hours total!
Why does Adam look so exhausted?
Caden is a little unsure of what to make of Ambree. He seems to be amazed by how tiny she is (as am I).
Please pray for our sweet little baby. She has a cystic hygroma rapidly growing under the left side of her chin. I worry. We meet with a surgeon today. We are very busy and emotional, but we will try to keep in touch.
