it my birthday!!!!

yay im 19 today!! woohoo for me!

well now that i got that out of my system....

johanna got a horrible cough yesterday, it was a gross one too, flem and all, at first i was calm about it and thought it would pass, but then for some reason i panicked. Christine ur advice really helped, the shower idea completely loosened up her chest and nose and today she is 100 times better! Also johanna has physical therapy today! she looooves it! a nice nurse comes and plays with her and does all kinds of cool things with her..
oh and this past weekend we went to san diego, it made mothers day very special!

Johanna loves the nightlife!

Or at least that is what I think because what other reason does she have to be up at this time? Haha its kind of odd just because johanna is pretty much set in her night time schedule but I guess tonight she just wanted to hang out all night. She hasn't been fussy, she has jus been playin all night. We have had a pretty hectic past couple of days and you would think she would be exhausted, we all kno I am! A couple of days ago we peirced her ears and she took it suprisingly well, her earings look so cute on her. And, I am happy to report that she is wearing 6-9 months now! We have PT on tuesday, which makes me happy because johanna really enjoys it. They always bring her cool toys to play with. Well I guess im going to try to put the lil munchkin down to bed now.... goodnight/morning



And p.s
I got my license finally! Yay 4 me!

mom! i can totally do it by myself!

Johanna has decided that when she is eating her baby food, she is going to do it herself. and she really does, licks the spoon so hard it shines!

almost 7 months...

On the 25th Johanna will be 7 months ild. It will be 7 months since the day she was born, at first time moved so slowly, but now it seems like every day is going by quicker. She's babling a lot more and reaching for her toys now. Her favorite toy is her red monkey! She will wrestle it to the ground haha. Johanna also is spending a lot more time on her belly, hoping those crawling skills will kick in soon. Thinkin of makin a trip to so cal for my birthday, hopefully we can go to the beach! The baptism pics will be up soon. The copier is actin silly and making iot hard for me, but they will up soon.

6 month check up was a disaster!!!!

Ughh I am so angry! Johannas pediatrician is awful! Here's how the appointment went, the appointment was at 10:45 am, so we got there at 10:15, signed in n whatnot so we waited and at 12:30 pm, we saw the doctor, I was already annoyed for waiting so long, BUT, I decided to let it go. The we spent maybe 5 minutes at most talkeng about johanna before she got on her phone. Then she said, "you kno wut? I have so much to do, so the nurse is going to come give her shots" I didn't get to ask any questions, nothing! So the nurse comes in to give johanna her shots, and the nurse starts to talk to her mom on her cell phone! Excuse me?!? So she gave her the shots, and I asked the nurse if I could please speak to the doc because I had some questions, doc came in and basically blew me off. At this point I was pissed. I said how is it if I waited nearly 2 hours just to see her, she couldn't give me just a little more time?, then she rreplied with this, "if you have a problem with it, find a new doctor!" I most certainly will!!!! Ughh im still mad about it, so now im on the lok out for a new pedi, anhy ideas? Other than my rant, johanna is doin well, small fever from the shots, but doing well, in fact she went with mommy to look for a car today! Oh, and her physicl therapist says she doesn't believe johanna will crawl, she thinks shell go straight to walking, cuz she alread stands up and is holding on to things to keep her up

The weekend was stressful...

But at the end of everything, it was worth the stress. The baptism went nicely and I am so happy and grateful to everyone who made it there and shared that special day with us. It was a loooong day for johanna but she did get a good night of sleep because of it. Ill put some pictures up soon. Friday is johannas 6 month check up and she has to get some shots, but on the upside she is going to get her ears peirced too!

<3<3<3

Yesterday was my 1st time goin to the nicu support group and I had so much fun!!! I loved being there with the other moms, especially for the moms whose baby is still in the NICU, I think its a great way for them to feel like someone understands what they are going through. Well as you know, johanna did have her PT and it went great! Most of her scores were that of a 4-5 month old, which is really well considering I though shed only be at maybe 3 months! She continues do exceed everyones expectations. She jus keeps growing and growing! She's starting to reach for things and bring objects to her. Johanna is waiting for mr sean to get a little bigger so they can have playdates! Well that's all for now
