4 Months

Brynn is 4 months old today! How did that happen? She is so fun to be around... so smiley and interacts with me :)

Well last weekend was busy. We had my high school reunion, which was a lot of fun. A suprise birthday party for my mom, and Mother's Day. Last year Mother's Day was not as wonderful as this year's. Last Mother's Day I was a mother with no child to hold/ kiss. My baby was in heaven... and I had found out I had another baby in my belly. Like I posted last year right after I announced I was pregnant again, I was scared to death... so needless to say Mother's Day last year was not so great.

This Mother's Day was wonderful! We went to Dan's aunts for brunch. All of the grandkids were in town for Mother's Day which made Dan's grandma very happy. It was a big deal because Dan's cousin Alex had to fly in from Boston and his cousin Tague had to fly in from Utah. It had been a very long time since all of them (there are 6 of them) had been together. We then went to my Grandma's in the afternoon. Brynn got me a painting that I have wanted for the last 3 years! It was a painting that we first saw when we went to Duluth. Each year when we went up there, I would go look at it, and think about buying it, but didn't. This last year I said if it was there, I would buy it to hang in Brynn's room. Well, it wasn't. So, Dan suprised me with it! He had to order it and it hasn't come yet... but can't wait until it gets here.

Then there is Maia... oh Maia. There was one night about 2 months ago that Dan and I woke up to Maia at the side of the bed. Her whole body was randomnly jerking/ twitching. It would jerk and she would be fine and 30 seconds later it would happen again. We were so freaked out Dan took her to the animal hospital at 3:00 am. By time he got there she had stopped. The vet thought it could be the start of epilepsy and keep an eye on it. He wasn't too concerned. Well, on Sunday night, we woke up at 1 am to her again doing this jerking thing. Well, as many of you know, I have anxiety. Waking up at 1 am to this is not a great way to wake up. She is conscious while she does it. I get all worked up, freaked out. They are not "normal" sezures. From the research I have found it sounds like they could be Myoclonis Seizures. What Maia does sounds pretty similar to the description of them. I have no idea what has caused them... I am thinking we need to bring her into the vet again. I want to know what is wrong, so I can not just let my imagination run wild. She acts like her normal self otherwise! And while the jerking happens, she just acts super lovey and wants to cuddle. So-- each day this week I have felt better, but still anxious feeling about it.

Brynn ALMOST rolled over this morning. She is closer to rolling from her back to tummy I think than her tummy to back. She has her 4 month appointment tomorrow-- 3 shots :( I am not looking forward to that, but am excited to see how much she has grown.

We have another busy weekend. I have a wedding shower, Dan's graduation dinner, and Brynn's baptism. We also have to prepare for that so we will be busy! Pictures to come next week :)
