Many things going on in the Scheetz home... surgery, pacifiers disappearing, big girl beds appearing, big belly appearing...

We have had more snow since the last time I blogged. We are so tired of snow and cold weather... ready for spring. We had a couple of 60 degree days last weekend... what a tease!! And guess what we have today... snow on the way!! UGH! I guess there is nothing we can do about it so what is the sense in complaining... I am still over winter though!

The pacifier has left building!!! Mikayla got a slide for getting rid of it. And no... we did not persuade her... she woke up on a Monday morning and said to me..." Mommy, I want the fafa to go away". Well, away it went into the trash. She had a couple of times she wanted it back but all it took was for us to remind her it went in the trash and she was fine.

With the baby coming, we have to get her out of the crib. We bought a new dresser and toddler bed. New sheets are on order but still waiting for those. Mikayla wanted Princess and the Frog sheets for her big girl bed. This is more of a struggle than the pacifier. She has slept in the bed a couple of times but wants her crib the rest. I know it will take time. We have a few months so I don't want to push her and make it a horrible experience. I am wondering how you people reading this handled the transition... please leave me comments. Thanks.

My belly is growing everyday. My sweet husband looks at it quite often and says things like wow your belly is HUGE!! I guess if I wast not pregnant I would be really offended but I guess I will let him slide for now!! Everything looks good. We go for the big ultrasound on March 5th. We are going to a specialists for the ultrasound so they can look at everything with supersonic pictures... so they don't miss anything. A little nervous about it... but excited at the same time to find out the sex of the baby. Then we can settle the argument in our house of blue vs. pink. Stay posted!!

Mikayla had to have surgery last Wednesday. We took her to Vandy on Tuesday evening. She was complaining of headaches (and had been for a week or so), fever, and was very lethargic. They did a CT and head xray, shunt tap, and tested spinal fluid. This determined her shunt was not working properly. So... surgery was Wednesday. We stayed in the hospital Tuesday and Wednesday in a room the size of a closet with no shower!! I have never been so ready to be home. Surgery was a success and she is doing great. She went back to school yesterday and all went fine.

Being silly, taking pictures of Daddy, taking pictures of her.

Helping Daddy put together her big girl bed... look at the determination on her face!!





The finished product... her room is a little cramped until we get the crib out... don't know when that will be.
