Today you spit up on 4 outfits, so we had a mini fashion show.
Today you actually enjoyed tummy time instead of the usual cries.

Today...
Today you gave me your first real laugh. You scared yourself half to death when you did it.
Today you spit up on 4 outfits, so we had a mini fashion show.
Today you actually enjoyed tummy time instead of the usual cries.

It's been upped
CC hasn't made things easy. Between the reflux, the colic, the lack of sleep, I'm sprouting dozens of gray hairs. Last night was a particularly bad night. We've been attempting the pack and play since the infamous rock and play rollover, but the pack and play can only have a slight incline which does not help her reflux at all. She was up ever 45 minutes to an hour and would not settle back down to sleep with each wake up. Needless to say we are both very very tired today.
CC spent all day screaming, crying(I also spent the day crying), fighting sleep, and spitting up everywhere. I'm not talking small amounts, but big huge amounts amidst the coughing/gag fits. I finally broke down and sent her pediatrician an email describing the last few days and asking for help. She is upping her Zantac prescription and sending CC's info on to a pediatric gastro for advice for treatment. I have a feeling we will end up seeing the gastro anyway. Here's to baby smiles, baby health, and nights full of sleep!

Sleep is for the weak
I believe that my baby is a vampire. She hates to sleep. It's a really good thing she is so cute, but I'm living off coffee these days and I am dying for a full nights rest. C plays a mean trick of sleeping 5 hours straight at night which is absolutely amazing, but then goes right back to up every hour or 2.
Sunday morning she scared the living daylights out of both of us. She will only sleep swaddled and in her rock and play because of her reflux and Sunday morning at 2am I woke up to a horrible scream. I got up, looked down into the rock and play, and C had managed to roll, that's right I said roll, directly on to her face. She was screaming face down in the rock and play. My heart stopped. Thank God she screamed. We spent the rest of the night too afraid to sleep so we cuddled in bed together comfort nursing until Addy woke up. Now we are trying to figure out where C is going to sleep. I hate swaddling her because she needs to use her hands, but if they are out she is constantly waking herself up with a smack to the face. In time I'm hoping this gets better, but I would prefer sooner rather than later :-)

Kindergarten Jitters
Last night Trevor and I Registered Addy for Kindergarten. Oh boy. My little baby has really and truly turned into a big girl. She is growing up so fast, riding 2 wheelers over dirt bike jumps, helping with her little sister, digging makeup, and just growing! This will be a brand new adventure for her and I really hope she embraces it with open arms. We are so proud of you Addy, you are growing into such a fabulous girl.

Soup for the Soul
I love to cook, like semi obsessed. Trevor loves it because he's always getting home cooked meals as opposed to eating out. Funny enough, when we started dating he survived off easy Mac and Costco dinner rolls. Meal of champions right there.
Addy has recently gotten really into cooking. She follows me around the kitchen watching every move I make and helping where she can (I still won't let her crack eggs!). She has been so crazy about cooking that she will watch cooking shows all day if I let her. Her favorite show is The Chew and yes she makes me record it. I think she might be slightly obsessed with Michael Simon.
Anyway, tonight I made my sick side kick one of our favorite soups, Tortellini Soup.
1/2 yellow onion chopped
3 large carrots, chopped
3 sticks of celery chopped
(I legit threw all of these together in a food processor and finely diced them)
2 cloves diced garlic
2 cans (14.5 oz each) of diced tomatoes
1 small can of tomato paste
3 small zucchini sliced
6oz bag of fresh baby spinach
5 cups of water mixed with 2 bouillon cubes
1 container of refridgerated cheese tortellini (I use the large 24oz from Costco)
Dash of salt and pepper
Splash of tapatio(hot sauce, which is actually pretty mild)
Olive oil
Grated Parmesan
In a large pot drizzle olive oil in bottom and add the finely diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Let simmer over medium high heat until soft(approx5 min).
Add sliced zucchini, season with salt and pepper and let simmer another 3 min.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and splash of tapatio and bring to a boil stirring often.
Add the broth slowly and bring to a boil again.
Add the spinach and let cook for 2 min before adding the tortellini.
Simmer the tortellini in the soup between 7-9 minutes until warmed through.
Serve in bowls topped with parmesean cheese.

Hiatus
We've been gone, out of the loop, out of time, busy...busy....busy. I need to catch up, we need to catch up, we need to update on our life!
Buckle up and hold tight because Here. We. Go.
Addy is now 5. FIVE!!! Who is this child and what did she do with my little girl?? We are registering her for Kindergarten tomorrow. She. Is. Huge.
We celebrated her birthday on Saturday and had a party on Sunday complete with a princess castle bounce house. She is now wearing 6T clothes and size extra huge shoes. We need to take her clothes shopping because the 5T gear she seemed to skip looks hilarious on her. Poor kid. She writes her name, writes the alphabet, loves to cook with me, and has become a fabulous big sister to a little sister. Yes, Trevor has another girl in the house. How did that happen?
Trevor is keeping busy with the girls, the 4runner(STILL!!!), kind of work, and fixing everyone else's vehicles, some of which are residing in our backyard. We are the epitome of "country bumpkins". Trevor just realized yesterday that he really is in for it when the girls are of puberty age. He about keeled over at the thought of PMS house, why it took him so long, I haven't a clue.
I'm sitting here writing this, trying to catch up on our lives while breast feeding the newest little Mosher girl. Collette was born the day before our 8 year wedding anniversary and is now a sweet little 8 week old. She's eating like a champ and growing like a weed. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz at birth and came out wailing. Thankfully, her labor was under 12 hours unlike her sister's at over 48. She's beautiful with big blue eyes and a TON of dark brown hair, she also looks suspiciously like my sister. Hmmmm.
Speaking of my sister, Jessie is now living in Kansas City teaching Spanish with Teach for America. She has a goofy dog named Walter that apparently rivals Diesel in personality according to my Dad. Dad went back to visit Jess not too long ago and he said Walter is a goof.
I am trying to maintain my sanity as a new second time mom, while getting used to breast feeding, taking care of a sassy 5 year old, being a caring wife, daughter, and sister. I'm also addicted to pinterest. Yes, pinterest. And my crock pot. My crock pot and pinterest are a dangerous combination for my butt and thighs.
Alright, I'm signing out for now. I'll try to pop in a little later, but for now my 5 year old needs a snack and my 8 week old is screaming at her BFF the fan which has turned off.

Georgia Bound
We were fortunate enough to visit our dear friend's in Georgia thanks in part to Dad (thanks Daddy!) for Brandon's wedding. Brandon was Trevor's best man at our wedding and we were so excited to watch him walk down the aisle. Addy was a champ on the plane and we got to Canton, Georgia safe and sound. We tried to keep her on California time, which made for some late nights Georgia time, but she was so great the whole trip. She really took to Brandon's mom, so much so that she was calling her Grandma and Diane loved it!
