The Doctors were not concerned, reassuring & telling us how common it is. We were told to be seen back in one month to see if it would correct itself. Okay, no big deal. I was concerned at that point but encouraged by my Husband not to look into it any further than what the doctor said ( research online, family/friend advice, etc.) as there was no need to be worried about something that we were told is common.<br />
<br />
Fast-forward exactly 30 days and we were back at the Dr's. The murmur was still there and her Doctor started to drop some pretty scary words of what it could mean to have a murmur like "sickness related" and "improper valve". Then he left us with "but it most likely is nothing at all". I believed those words to be true as my child is one of the most active, healthy little girls I've seen, but I couldn't help but have the anxiety set in my mommy heart. We were then referred to a Pediatric Cardiologist in Santa Barbara.<br />
<br />
Fast-forward another 2 months of fighting with referrals, booked schedules, and insurance companies switching carriers making things 10 times harder, and you had one frazzled mom by that point. I spent hours on the phone trying to straighten out a mess that was my daughter's referral to see this specific specialist. Although it was time consuming, still the most agonizing part was the wait for the appointment date to arrive. It had now been 3 months since finding out it could be absolutely nothing at all or....not. Again, as hard as it was, I was sweetly encouraged by my husband to NOT think too much into it and to NOT research until we are diagnosed with something concrete. My parental instincts were not blowing any whistles or raising any flags either. I have an active, life-loving, kid. I prayed that I could make it to d-day without having sadness or major concern about it. I can't say it enough, but Eric was there to be my comforter when I would have a bad day about it.<br />
<br />
The big day has arrived and we make the trip to SB and arrive extra early. The waiting room was quiet and my youngins were rambunctious after sitting in the car for 1 1/2 hours. I was soon regretting getting there 45 min before my appointment. I knew that no matter what, we would find out soon so I was surprisingly calm. Eric was unable to come but was able to be a phone call away (which is more than what we're used to as he is studying top secret work). We were called back, Dr. Harake administered the ultra-sound, and 5 minutes later he finished his exam. <br />
<br />
Diagnosis: Healthy Murmur.<br />
<br />
I didn't even know such thing existed. But it does. And it was the most glorious news I have heard since finding out I was expecting my daughters.<br />
<br />
Apparently, it is true, it IS very common and there are two types of murmurs. The improper valve kind and the "healthy" kind.<br />
<br />
He complemented on how well behaved she was during the exam (which she usually is, she actually LOVES going to any type of doctors office...weirdo), and we were given the green light to collect from the sticker lady then go and tell daddy the good news.<br />
<br />
I don't know why I felt compelled to write this and so soon too, as we just arrived home 20 minutes ago. Truth is, I started writing this as a status update, but it became too much to abridge. I did not want to "sum it up". <br />
<br />
Maybe I wanted to write this to remember that, in the last 3 months I have looked at my daughter differently. I stared a little longer, gave more words of praise of how perfect she is, sang more songs, watched more movies snuggled to the point of claustrophobia. I want to remember the nights I crawled into her bed just to hear her heartbeat and watch her sleep so peacefully, to calm my troubled heart when I had a sleepless night.<br />
<br />
I was able to see her as a happy child, as opposed to a grumpy 4 year old that I so easily jumped to on struggled days.<br />
<br />
Because when you think, even if it is for just one second, that something could be wrong with your child, you behave differently. Priorities are rearranged and your love for your child could make you piggy-back her across the united states if need be.<br />
<br />
This has been my first big scare in my professional mommy career and I have no words about how incredibly thankful I am to have it cleared that yes, she is indeed, a happy, healthy, PERFECT child. <b>My mom instincts were on point and I trusted them. I trusted the professionals and I trusted my Husband and did not let the anxiety make the situation horrible. That is a real leaf turner for me. </b><br />
<br />
I apologize to family. We did not inform you with any of this, but with the best of intentions. I hope you understand. Just know that your granddaughter, niece, rambunctious little Emmers is just fine. And that makes me one happy mama. <br />

We made it to beautiful Arizona!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls and I are settled in and slowly beginning to figure out a routine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I signed us all up for things to keep us busy that are indoor so we can make it through this last month of Summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Em's is taking Swimming, Ballet, and Gymnastics </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am staying busy at the gym,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sweet Charlee is busy growing up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been 2.5 weeks since we had to let Eric go back home to Biloxi to finish out processing and now the time has come! He is starting his Officer training class on Tuesday! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The movers are at the house packing as I type, so things are fast approaching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We miss him so much already and we are not looking forward to the separation ahead, but at the end of the day, I have to remind myself it's all for good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
E is having a difficult time... to say the least. Lots of frustrated crying, tantrums, and nasty attitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves Grandma, Papa, and Uncle Doe, but she is very confused and sad about not seeing her Daddy. Skype is a life savor and any time she feels sad about her dad, She can call him up to say hi. Now, once OTS starts, it a whole other ball game. We wont be able to talk with him the first week or so, and after that, he will be limited to the amount of calls he will be able to have. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I explain to her about the amount of time that Daddy will be gone, but a 3 year old can only comprehend so much. She has yesterday, today, and tomorrow down, but nothing after that. I just have to tell her it'll be "a long time" until Daddy comes home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did run across a cool trick that fellow military wives have done to help kids visualize the days and it's called a "deployment chain"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She doesn't get the idea yet, but every morning, I take a link off and explain to her what it means.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can see the wheels turning, but I know if she truly grasped what it meant, she would be very upset. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am overwhelmed with the role Eric's family has taken on. They have really stepped up and been there for me and the girls. His mom and dad have a lot going on in their own lives, but we would never know. We love and appreciate them for the selflessness they give on a daily basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that we are so close to family and finally feeling home after 7 years (Texas and Mississippi didn't cut it for us), it's wonderful! I know we'll only be here for a short amount of time, but in comparison to the 2 weeks out of the year we usually spend, it's a world of difference. I am really enjoying myself here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am looking forward to the adventures Arizona offers and the sweet family time we get to cherish for the next 4 months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Uuugh. What happened?!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The year snuck away from me, I swear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My precious, perfect (yes, I said perfect) baby is a year old!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has been an absolute DELIGHT to this family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was spoiled (and eternally grateful) to have her as my second. She let me ease into having 2 kids and still keeps it low maintenance for Mama.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Emme has needed some special attention the last few months. There have been some challenging days with that one, so having Charlee be so sweet and docile was truly a blessing I prayed for. I feel like I was so blessed to have such an easy going baby, that I am prepared and have MORE patience now going into the toddler years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME PURE HAPPINESS THIS PAST YEAR, BABY GIRL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drinks water and apple juice but HATES milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crawls faster than Mom walks :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pulls up to things and stands alone for 30 seconds +</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cruises the furniture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(walking WILL happen within the month, I feel it)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Says "Mama", "Dadda", "Papa", and "Ruff Ruff" (to Mocha and Java)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Babbles non stop and mimics words </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sleeps 12 hours at night with a 2.5 hour nap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HATES the gym daycare. Someone has to hold her the entire time or else she'll lose it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves your Sister and making each other giggle but love to pull her hair, you booger!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves to talk with Daddy on the phone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gives kisses, waves hello, claps, and dances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
LOVES it when people chase her. She squeals the loudest when you do that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves cuddle time with anyone who will give it to her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is THE MOST squirmy baby at diaper changes. I am surprised there isn't poop all over the walls...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loves relaxing in her pool floaty so much, she will occasionally fall asleep in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is very well behaved in stores and loves taking in new surroundings wherever we go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We celebrated her birthday at Chuck E Cheese and then headed back to the house to open presents and enjoy some cake and ice cream. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We are starting our new adventure in exactly one week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Eric, Liz and the girls are hopping in our Volkswagen, u-haul trailer in tow, and headed for family across the United States!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The girls and I will then settle ourselves into Arizona with my In-laws and say goodbye to Daddy as he catches a flight back home to Biloxi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He then has only a short 2 weeks to out-process from the (enlisted side) military, get everything ready for OTS, schedule TMO to pack the rest of our house, turn in the keys to our home, and then finally drive and report to Montgomery, Alabama before his class starts September 11th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Estimated graduation date is December 14th, 2012. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We then report -as an intact family of 4- to Vandenberg, AFB in California for 1 year, where he will attend his tech school training for Missiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Following tech school, we will be stationed somewhere COLD for the next 4 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Following <b><i>that, </i></b>we will then go to the Space side, where he will retire doing Space...things... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this really is the beginning of the rest of our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are sad our family must be apart once more for 4 months, but remember that at the end of the day, there are two very different factors going into this separation compared to previous separations due to deployments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He will be safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is making a better life for his family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am SO grateful that we will be reunited with family and NOT have to say goodbye to them after </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the usual 1-2 week tease. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited that the girls get to build a stronger relationship with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO thankful!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are ready to start this change and find out what is in store for our family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wish us luck! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is how it all started.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a Saturday afternoon and the whole family was in Emme's room setting up her brand spanking new doll house we got for her turning 3 1/2, when just one little comment led to a spur of the moment Vacation!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was looking at E's stuffed animals and I picked up Mikey and said "Disney World was so much fun, wasn't it babe? I would love to go back". Not thinking anything of it when Eric excused himself from the room, the girls and I continued with setting up the doll house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
About 10 minutes passed and I called down to Eric to see what happened to him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He asked to give him 5 minutes then he'd come upstairs. That sparked my interest, but I still had no idea what he was doing. True to his word, he entered E's room 5 min later but with the laptop in hand. He sat down next to me and I took a look at the screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A full blue print presentation of a 4 night/ 5 day Disney World Vacation!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He thought of every expense and detail that was needed to pull off something this last minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We discussed the price and decided it was worth it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Oh yeah, It would take place in just 3 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now. To tell Mooshk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We often talk about our Disney trip we took just 7 months earlier and she tells me fun things she remembers, so I knew telling her we would go back would dang near make her pee her pants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her reaction was priceless and fast-forward 3 days and we're on the way!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will sum up the trip with the pictures then explain the title of the post title later. I'm sure you are wondering the connection.</div>

Okay. So this part was hands down my FAVORITE. We purchased a room at the lodge that gave us the option to have a balcony overlooking 40 different species of animals! What a treat! That giraffe made Emme and myself so happy to watch. the second morning we found him out grazing the trees and drinking the pond all while eating our breakfast on the balcony. It was breathtaking. Emme squealed in approval many times.</div>

The end of day 2 (little did we know at the time that it would be the end of the FUN trip)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Let me explain.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
E woke up around midnight whining every few minutes then falling asleep soon after. She kept this up for about a half hour and each time I either asked her what was up, got mad, sang to her, or just ignored it, each with no response from her. Finally, after hearing another whining session from her, I decided I would take her out on the balcony and rock her to sleep. As I was carrying her to to door, that's is when all hell started. She vomited EVERYWHERE, I was able to get her to the bathroom in time for her 3rd time vomiting. She was hysterical. After tossing ALL her cookies up, she cried and cried and cried. If she is anything like her Mama, I wouldn't blame her. I HATE throwing up. Loath it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I threw her and myself in the bath to get all cleaned up. Scrubbed the carpet as best as I could and got us all back to bed thinking she just swam so much just a few hours earlier, it upset her tummy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
WRONG</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She woke up the next morning with diarrhea and a fever. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
: (</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are on day 3 of the vacation. We had lunch reservations at a meet and greet buffet with her FAVORITE Disney Jr Channel Characters. For sure she wouldn't want to miss that. So we slapped a Diaper on her and gave her some medicine. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Calling it quits. The next morning we packed up early and headed home. She was MISERABLE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's not the end, my friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, there was SO much more ahead of us.<br />
<br />
______________<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"> This next part of the story is rated "R" and is not intended for a weak stomach. It has crude, TMI details as well as brief nudity. </span></b><br />
<br />
(Please don't say I didn't warn you.)<br />
<br />
....<br />
Still here?<br />
<br />
Okaaaaaay........<br />
<br />
Emme was miserable. Mama was frazzled. We gave in and called the vacation quits.<br />
Packed up the hotel, then the car, filled up the tank and started the journey home.<br />
<br />
Half hour into the drive:<br />
"Liz, I don't feel so well" said the driver.<br />
"What do you mean?? Like you are going to throw up while going 75 MPH on the freew-"<br />
"Oh no- BLAAAAAAARRRRRRRFFGGGHHH"<br />
Yup. Eric puked and filled the designated "puke cup" all the way to the brim. I dumped it out the window just in time before he let more loose.<br />
<br />
"Wow. I feel much better."<br />
So along we went. Daddy has the bug now, poor guy, we have to get home. <br />
<br />
10 minutes later<br />
"Liz, I am about to poop my pants, I need to pull over"<br />
<br />
So there we were, emergency lights on, with Daddy in the woods, pooping his little heart out.<br />
Emme was severely frightened by this point with all the commotion and even told me at one point while poor Daddy was doing his business to, "Just leave Daddy, we don't need him"<br />
Seriously, so funny!<br />
I calmed her down and explained to her, yes, we do need him.<br />
<br />
Sweating, pale and looking dead, Daddy returned to the car. I switched him out and started to drive. As I was making my way over to the driver seat, I noticed I had my monthly "visitor" happily greet me at that moment. Holy hell. I had NOTHING to accommodate her very demanding needs either.<br />
So we are back on the road, only an hour into the trip and we are defeated.<br />
I bled through my pants. Eric shit his pants. Emme was whining in the back seat and Char was her content self. <br />
Okay, we can still do this. Only 8 hours left.<br />
<br />
1 hour later:<br />
"I have the chills and my kidneys are KILLING me"<br />
"I think i'm about to pass out, pull over please"<br />
<br />
Poor daddy continues his violent dry heaving and poop in the woods while I try to calm down the girls on the side of the road.<br />
<br />
"We can't keep pulling over, it's dangerous, we need a hotel"<br />
<br />
Another hour goes by and we find a hotel.<br />
Eric pays the clerk in his shit-stained shorts while I get the girls ready for the room.<br />
<br />
We figured we didn't need to unpack the car just for a quick nights rest as we would head out in just a few hours.<br />
<br />
We got settled in the hotel and changed Char's diaper. I went to pick her up and rest her on my shoulder.<br />
<br />
"BLLLAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGH"<br />
<br />
"Not you now Charlee!"<br />
<br />
I raced her over to the sink so she could finish her up-chuck.<br />
I held her horrified that I now had 3 people to take care of.<br />
Charlee didn't seem to mind though. She smiled right after she was done tossing her dinner up.<br />
<br />
Okay,<br />
Char and Mom had a quick bath to clean up.<br />
We were now down to a naked baby in a diaper. Me wearing my bloody pants and Eric's shirt he gave me after I threw mine away from it being soaked in vomit. Emme had all her clothes thank goodness.<br />
<br />
Bed time.<br />
<br />
1 1/2 later:<br />
<br />
"BLLLLAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGHHHH"<br />
<br />
Charlee is at it again. This time she was dry heaving and had nothing left in her. She starts to choke and cry heavily. I felt heartbroken holding my little baby over a sink as she was scared to death puking nothing up.<br />
<br />
"Eric, we need to just get. home."<br />
<br />
So the hotel was a bust. Yet another hotel we ruined with puke, blood, and poo.<br />
<br />
We get in the car around 2 am<br />
Emme falls fast asleep with <i>Charlee's</i> blanket in her car seat.<br />
Char is still in her diaper but it gets cold in the car.<br />
I gave her my shirt that once was Eric's to wrap around her.<br />
<br />
Between Eric and myself, we are pretty much naked driving home.<br />
By that point, who the F cared????<br />
NOT. US.<br />
<br />
I said a prayer that I would stay well so I could take care of everyone as well as one for my sweet, sick little family.<br />
We made it a mission to make it home. We had just over 5 hours left. We literally were racing against the clock before I, myself got sick. We couldn't afford to have that happen. With the odds against us, it was BOUND to happen, right??<br />
<br />
To not go crazy clock watching on the way home, we allowed ourselves to look at the "miles remaining" every half an hour.<br />
<br />
Little by little, we chipped away at that 5 hours. We made them our B*tch.<br />
<br />
As we drove into Biloxi, the sun was just coming up.<br />
More and more cars started to be out on the road.<br />
I showed the world my goodies with just my nursing bra and a smile.<br />
Again, we could care less.<br />
<br />
6am:<br />
<br />
We are home and in bed. E went right back to sleep and Char nursed for the first time since puking just hours before. I waiting anxiously, not being able to rest until I knew Charlee would hold that feeding down.<br />
<br />
1 hour later:<br />
<br />
We are all passed out. Disgusting, but sweetly sound asleep. <br />
<br />
The End. <br />
<br />
ps<br />
I never got sick.<br />

7 years!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we celebrated by eating some outstanding sushi at Jina, in the Beau Rivage, then topped it off with playing some poker, our favorite!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was our lucky night too because we cleaned house :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We cashed out $500 that night WHOOOOO!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We talked about our past. We talked about our plans for the future. And yes, we talked a LOT about the girls. Typical.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was an all out, lovely night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Instead of going out on dates like normal couples, we are doing this together. We are on day 4 so far and..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny. The title, that is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eric and I try not to be corny when during the workouts when we say how INSANE it is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really is the best way to describe the fitness level. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have dedicated 40 minutes a night after the girls go down, to have a hot date with the below regiment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why not? All our shows are being cancelled anyway and who watches Summer TV??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still sour that House ended.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took some before pictures complete with measurements and bad lighting for the total effect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And no. You will not see those. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The AFTER pictures may even be Photoshopped a little when we do release them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If this program does not turn us into THE sexiest of beasts, then so help me!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture (cropped picture, which before had too much Emme booty in it for comfort) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was the last picture I took before I drowned my <a href="http://ericandlizjaeger.blogspot.com/2010/10/pathological-picture-taker.html" target="_blank">other baby</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Calm it down, let me explain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what went down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Mom thought babies looked extra adorable in the tub so called down to Dad to bring up other baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Mom started snapping away trying to get the girls to look at the camera at the same time. Not easy. I think I started to squeal like a Pig to get their attention towards me in hopes for that darling picture us Mom's always try and magically get. It's weird, they both love the camera, but never at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-The above picture was taken right before Charlee took a dive in the water as she reached for a toy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Mom spastically (new word?yes.) reacted and caught my little fishy just as she submerged her face in water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Apparently, my cat-like reflexes are so bad ass, they could care less for my other baby and dropped it in the water so I could catch my real baby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- I realized what I had done just as I was lifting Charlee up (she was totally fine by the way. She thought it was hilarious more than anything) and immediately called down to Dad to come upstairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I'm so sorry, I just dropped the camera in the water!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"HEEEEEEELP!!!!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad took over kids while I desperately attemped CPR to the poor thing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was not it's time to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wouldn't turn on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember as I saw it in the water, it immediately went from on to off. Right before it turned off, it gave a weird blue looking scrambled screen. Great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew that was not good news.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still tried. I disassembled it and started to dry off each piece. I turned the fan on and left it to dry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back to my station with the girls. Still in shock with what just happened. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eric didn't say a damn thing to me, bless his heart. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That would have been bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next morning after it had plenty of time to dry, I attempted another go at it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Damn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the talk with Eric about replacing my other baby and it sickens me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next day:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go upstairs, prepared to give it a proper trash can burial, but before that I had to try one more time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would you know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It turned on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only that, there was NOTHING wrong it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wouldn't put it past my Husband to have switched it out with a new one in my sleep knowing how devastated I was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was like it was never dropped in a sudsy, toy-filled, water grave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone has definitely been watching out for us lately! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Remember this night, baby?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course you do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could you forget the night we said goodbye and sent you off to find adulthood?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The night we sent you off to report for basic training.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember you called me just hours after we left you at that hotel room, alone. Just you and your thoughts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"What was I thinking, Liz?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
..... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I hope I made the right decision." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It hit you. It happened so fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You joined the United States Air Force </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You were scared, I was scared. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rightfully so. You were 18. I was 16. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NO idea what the future held for us, let alone our relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God is GREAT. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know why?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward 9 years later from that night and you will get..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7 years of marriage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 AMAZING babies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 assignments </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6 homes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 deployments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
100+ fights, forgiving, and lonely nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have made some pretty amazing history together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It ALL lead to this day*.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This WELL EARNED DAY*.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day* we have been talking about since those first moments in our Pantano apartment; looking for spare change in your car so we could go bowling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dreaming of the day* that we wouldn't worry about money anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You were a young, brand new Airman with dreams and goals from the VERY beginning. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All those dreams were about just one day*. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I could hug that brave young man in that lonely hotel room and tell him one thing, it would be:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It'll all be worth it some day*"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am honored to have you as my Husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am grateful the girls have such a loving, silly, Daddy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am THANKFUL we have stayed together through some pretty rough make it or break it moments to <i>make</i> it to this day*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made it, baby! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of our lives and add a few numbers to the list above! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My big girl completed her first 6 months of Gymnastics! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mama is so proud! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has come a long way, let me tell you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can still remember her first time attending. She was bouncing off the walls with energy and did not listen very well to her teachers, Ms Amanda and Ms Natalie. She just wanted to "play" and jump on the trampoline. It took her a few visits to realize she is there to learn and obey AND have fun. In just that short time, her attention span and obedience has improved dramatically. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has done some serious growing up in this class and enjoys it so much. I know her doing this will make the transition of starting preschool this September a little easier (for both Mom and kid).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Miss Emme had her first official visit to the Dentist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We knew going into the visit she needed a cavity filled in her back molar. The Dentist reassured us that the tooth affected was due to a malformation when it developed in utero! I didn't even know that could happen. I guess due to the shape of the tooth, it was prone to a cavity. They came to that conclusion based on the shape and the fact that all her other teeth were perfect! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day of the visit, we were all set to go with the happy medicine (sleepy juice) to keep her nice and calm during the scary procedure for a 3 year old. It was worth it to both myself and Eric to spend the money to have that peace of mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
E took the sleepy juice and played in the waiting room until her name was called. About 10 minutes in, she started to be very loopy and pretty soon, she started asking me to snuggle with her and read her a book. She made the funniest faces and said some pretty funny stuff! But that was as far as it went. Unfortunately, the "sleepy" part did not work. As soon as they took her in the back (they said it was best for parents to wait up front) she lost it! She screamed the entire time, poor baby. Luckily, I did not know this until the Dentist talked with me when he was finished with the tooth. He informed me that 9 out of 10 times the medicine works. That's my Emme alright! She <i>would</i> be that one....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least we know not to fork out another $300 for sleepy juice for the next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*please let there NOT be a next time!*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was still such a trooper though! She sobbed for a pretty good while after the visit and was still loopy from the medicine. With that combination, she was hard to console. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She earned a voucher from her Dentist, Dr Buddy, for a free ice cream at McDonalds and that seemed to help a little although she is a VERY clean eater and had no idea she had rivers of ice cream running down her chin! Bless her numbed little face! It was darling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of snuggles, pudding, and Popsicles later, she was back to her normal self just a few hours later. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I told her that she does not have to go back for a long long time and next time, it wont be so scary.</div>

platform, crossing 86th Street, stepping off of boats, using mall
restrooms, getting on and off escalators, driving on country roads while
arguing, leaning on large windows, walking in parking lots, riding
Ferris wheels, roller-coasters, log flumes, or anything called “Hell
Drop,” “Tower of Torture,” or “The Death Spiral Rock ‘N Zero G Roll

Something where she can make her own hours but still feel intellectually
fulfilled and get outside sometimes And not have to wear high heels.</i></div>

Hollister, Give me the strength, Lord, to yank her directly into a cab
in front of her friends, For I will not have that Shit. I will not have
it.</i></div>

make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know,
because I peeped it with Your God eyes.”</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
What can I say about this little one??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without sounding biased, I might add.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a dream baby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, I started off strong. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't help the way I feel though! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves to make Mama happy with her much needed "Go with the flow" demeanor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She still LOVES to nurse and wants no other liquids at the moment. Not even juice. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her Sister will bring out her belly laugh like no one else can.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is finally getting the hang of food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She will willingly take the following:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Applesauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bananas </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pears</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweet Potatoes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Peaches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watermelon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crackers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yogurt Melts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Puff..thingies..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wearing size 4 diaper and 12-18 month clothes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her and her sister are on the same sleeping schedule (can I get a Hallelujah?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With NO MORE midnight feedings. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no.more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 teeth on the bottom. Working on the top 2 coming in any day now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sits and plays with toys, or whatever Emme has in her hand at the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jumperoo gets a workout.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is so content with just sitting, she has had no desire to reach for toys that have made it just arms length away from her. Her cute tushie is fine just where it is, so no crawling or scooting just yet. She does a cute little roll to get from one spot of the floor to the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've survived another month avoiding the baby gates! Hooray!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best yet,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is 8 months old and still goes into a milk coma. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bless it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I adore that babe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Speaking of which, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I looked like Julia Roberts with her crazy cute huge curly hair and perfect smile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did look pretty though, I must say. Except the Bride of course. She was exquisite. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't take my eyes off of her. And I wasn't even the Bridegroom. What a privilege to be her Matron of Honor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hmmm... Charlee turned 7 months but I'll just skip to the 8 month check-ins in a different post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing changed really, she just got cuter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eric and I also had the chance to do something very sacred in our religion. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We entered one of our many gorgeous Temples and participated in a ceremony called "Endowments". I can't go into detail, but I would like to remember and share just how special the experience leading up to that day was.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't look good at first. We found out, through no ones fault, that we had only 8 days to prepare for the Temple. (EXTREMELY long story short- In order to see my Sister married in the Temple in Utah, I needed to go through myself beforehand...and we found that out kinda late.) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The list looked something like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Find sitters for the girls that would be located in Baton Rouge so I could easily nurse Charlee before and after the session.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Take the car in the shop because the battery was acting odd</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Order special Temple clothing online (only to find out they couldn't do rush delivery online so I had my sister buy them from a store in Utah then overnight them).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Find both Eric and myself a Temple Escort </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Find Temple clothing for both of us (we borrowed from my VERY helpful wonderful Relief Society President)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Call the Baton Rouge Temple to make an appointment </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and, really,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another LONG story short, (something I know I will never forget). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the day is here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After our car decided to turn on 3 notification lights and act funny on the freeway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a pleaded prayer I could barely muster out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After someone on their day off came to open the church building just to watch the girls for us for 4 hours. A church worker. A stranger did this for our family. She was our Angel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And most importantly, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After 1 full year of repentance, searching, scripture study, and prayer, we were prepared to enter the most Holy place on this Earth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& I know with all my heart we were blessed for doing so.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone who helped us get to the Temple were blessed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Her knees started to bend so she would fit. Yeah, it was time.<br />She, on the other hand, is VERY upset by this new change and lets Mama know. For about 2 hours last night, she let me know.<br /><br />We also took on the challenge of trying to feed her formula for the first time.<br /><br />HA!<br />That worked. Not.<br />I reached out to my Facebook friends and got some AMAZING tips on how to transition her to take a bottle. It's tough bc I only want to replace 1 or 2 (tops) nursing's with formula so she will be one confused little baby for the next few weeks.<br />It's been about 5 days and she takes one pumped bottle of breast milk so she will get used to the bottle then slowly we will add formula to the mixture then up the dose gradually.<br />Wish me luck!<br /><br />She is a very loved little sister. I honestly think there is not a better big sister out there than Emme. She loves her to the moon and back.<br /><br />She also got her.........<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBpbkR6czlUrUbHr6j5ziVHpz8gACyyYvKB3Xx8MZZd1QgSUQyCmbeN-2OeX98KDMTjM_ZHEmdXV_4awgdPn00FVM3-f3Hc-njGLxJDRoMAni8bCXyJqGwlbP97-62Xj4sebnbsB6MetA/s1600/2012+017.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBpbkR6czlUrUbHr6j5ziVHpz8gACyyYvKB3Xx8MZZd1QgSUQyCmbeN-2OeX98KDMTjM_ZHEmdXV_4awgdPn00FVM3-f3Hc-njGLxJDRoMAni8bCXyJqGwlbP97-62Xj4sebnbsB6MetA/s400/2012+017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723161285695354466" border="0" /></a>Ears pierced!!<br />They are cute little flower earrings and she as a champ!<br />Daddy was on duty this time around and held her head still.<br />It was over in no time and she looks cute as a button!<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>Liz & Eric Jaegerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329496575417354535noreply@blogger.com0
