It was a very eventful morning here in Fifedom. Michaela has been wanting to sit in the baby bouncer since Reagan has been using it, so this morning I let her while I got some things done. Who knew that in the time it takes to take dinner out of the freezer,(10-15 seconds?) she could get into trouble, WHILE STRAPPED IN THE BOUNCER?! I could have stopped her, but decided it was worth the pictures to see where this was going.....
Somewhere around this point I should have interviened......
And Here is a picture of Michaela BEFORE we gave her red Jello...
And After.............Good thing she cleans up well!
That is all for now, at least until Michaela wakes up from her nap and provides us with more material!
Last night we went to have dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Fife. It was so much fun! OF COURSE Grandpa made his famour Kika-poo-Joy Juice and Grandma made an excellent dinner. Michaela took a few small steps, but nothing that could actually count as walking and Jordan had a great time showing Grandpa all about our new business. Michaela and Grandma enjoyed playing the baby piano. And I had a great time taking pictures and being with my family!

Of course the kidney infection saga continues..... Last night I went to change Michaela's diaper, and noticed this rash all over her poor little body! We called her nurse and she said it was no big deal, just a reaction to the ammoxicilian she is taking. WELL, when I could see it multiplying before my eyes and it showed up on her eyelids and tounge, we made the decision to go back to the ER YET AGAIN. They gave her other antibiotics, reassured us that this was one of the more severe rashes but nothihg life threatening and sent us on our way again. Who knew being parents would be so scary? There are a billion things that can (and seem to) go wrong and her ENTIRE existance is in my hands..... Who signs up for this kind of job?! Well, anyway, she is not complaining at all, it just looks sad, and she is back to her normal tornado self. We are so grateful that all these scares are minor in outcome and that overall our little baby is a healthy little girl. We love her so much and it is hard to see her suffer. 
Hey, I decided that we had enough sick/not sick posts so I am putting up some new pictures that I have taked over the last two or three weeks. Things are good here. Our home business is taking off, tonight Jordan is taking the Vice President (me) out for a Business Dinner at Outback. I think I like this business stuff! Michalea is taking some timid steps, slowly letting go of the wall or couch with one hand to wave at me as she passes by! Anyway, enjoy the pictures!!
Michaela loves to brush her teeth!

Okay so the 2nd most recent update is that Michaela's fever just wouldnt go down so she was admitted to the hospital Wesnesday afternoon. The most recent update is that, we are SO HAPPY to say that Michaela is much better and is home now. She only had to stay one night in the hospital and left this afternoon in good health and great spirits. We knew this mornign that she was feeling much better when she hit the doctor trying to change her diaper and told him "nono!" All her tests came back clear, and they did an ultrasound so make sure that her kidneys were functioning properly, and they are. The doctors are thinking that she might have had a kidney infection doubled with a nasty flu virus and that's why the fever wasn't going down and why we couldn't fix her with simple antibiotics. Anyway, her fever broke last night and she is much better now. Thanks for all the calls and prayers, they were much appreciated. Also, all the noncalling was appreciated too, because sleep was not something we got often and when we did, it was nice not to have the phone ring! And can I just add that I have the greatest husband and Michaela has the greatest dad? He came with me to all the ER visits, and even stayed home from work on Monday to make sure Michaela was alright, and then on Wednesday when I called him to say she was being admitted, he came right over and stayed with her the entire time! Even though it ended up being not too serious, it was still so scary to see her in the hospital bed with an IV, it was so great to see Jordan there the whole time, he could be strong for me so I could be strong for Michaela. Anyway, we are glad to be home, and so glad that our little baby is better now. She is such a wonderful blessing in our lives and it was so hard to see her unhappy. I hope to never have to update you again about Michaela's health issues! 
Michaela and Daddy
It was a hard weekend at our house. Michaela had a fever of 103 on Friday night so I took her to the doctor Saturday morning (I couldn't believe they were open!) and they said she just had some sort of a virus. On his way out of the room, he asked me if she was pooping and peeing normally, so I told him that latley her pee smelled stinky. He said that could be a big problem so he wanted to do a urine test. And how do you test infant urine you might ask? Well you can't very well tell them to pee in a cup - so you do the lovley cathater! So the best nurse in the office came in and said she does a million of them a day and they are really easy. SO we took the diaper off and she made me hold Michaela's legs like a frog while she shoved a plastic tube up THERE to get a urine sample. Great nurse or not, she failed to get the cathater in right so after several attempts, I asked her to stop so I could hold Michaela and get her to stop crying. As soon as she took out the tube, Michaela peed all over the table leaving us with no pee sample and an empty bladder. The doctor came in and because the pee was fresh on the table he used a test strip to at least start testing, and they taped a bag to Michaela's SELF to get a sample. It only took a few seconds for it to turn up as a urinary tract infection, so they thought it must have been a pretty severe infection. So Shawnie and I had to cart Michaela around the hospital waiting for her to pee so we could take it to the lab for testing. But because she has a plastic bag taped to her poor little peepee evrey time I adjusted her she screamed in pain! Okay cut to us back at home, pee sample sucessfully taken and dropped off, and that night, Michaela spiked a temp again of 105.6, so we headed to the emergency room. When we got there, they started an IV, which was a horrible experience for me too because she strapped her down and made me hold her while they poked her...:( So one IV and a lot of Tyleno later, they got the blod and another urine smaple back which showed a major Kidney infection, not just a UTI. So they sent us home and told me to follow up with her doctor on Monday. So we went home, put Michaela in the middle and 1/2 way slept the rest of the night. WELL, Sunday morning, we awoke to Michaela puking her brains out (on me be the way) and her temp was back up to 104, so we high tailed it BACK to the ER. Okay they had to put another IV in because she needed another dose of antibiotics so they tried to get it in the other arm since the night before they did one too. Cut to us still trying to get an IV in, two nurses an dfour attempts later, Michaela (and mommy and daddy) were miserable. I put the kiabosh on the IV and told them to try drinkable antibiotics and if she threw it up again, THEN they could poke her again. Instead of that, they gave her a SHOT of medicine, which was horrible because it wan't one shot but too! Then they wanted ANOTHER urine sample so they had a nurse come in and do another cathater, even though I tried to explain to her that Michaela wansn't built for those and they should just bag her again. Of course they wouldn't and they tried and failed again to insert the plastic tube but ended up bagging her. Okay, long story shortened, she had a miserable weekend. They sent her home again once her fever was down, and we contnued the Mortin and Tylenol every three hours. She is doing much better and is going back to the doctor at 4 pm today for ANOTHER shot of antibiotics and an assesment. We will keep you updated as we know more.
I got a new camera for Christmas, so I have been playing with it non-stop. Here are a few of my favorites!
We hope everyone had a great Christmas, we sure did! It was so much fun to see Michaela get excited about her presents. She actually had fun opening presents, but she was much more into the garbage than the actual gift..... We are doing a Fife side of the family Christmas tomorrow so I will post more pictures then....
I felt so bad! It only lasted about 3 seconds and I could't make her sit there anymore... Hope seh gets used to him before next year!
