It's Normal

That's what they said to me when we brought in Aisling to the ER on Saturday night when she started throwing up blood. Turns out it isn't totally unusual for babies to throw up a little blood, wish someone had let me in on that info before I had a heart attack when my cherub started doing this on Saturday night. We were at the ER from 11pm till 4 am when they let us go after watching her for a bit. Turns out she just had a really bad flu. It really knocked her out for the weekend. She slept the entire day on Monday and was pretty miserable for a few days. She is better now though and is back to her old self.

We also had a Dr visit on Thursday. She is doing wonderfully and weighs in at 23 pounds 4 ounces and is 29 inches tall. She is healthy and happy and doing great. She had some shots and played with some toys and then licked the mirror which is probably where she got the flu from.

We have been so busy lately so I apologize for not updating the blog for a while. I have heard the fans starting to rumble so I figured I better make some time for an update. Work has been really busy for Brian and I. Also, the wedding business has had a surge of activity lately as well. That shared with sick baby time has really overloaded us.

So here is what we have been up to in the last few weeks.


We went to Disneyland with the Wilhelmi's. The girls both had a great time playing with Aisling's shoes. Oh yeah, they also had fun on the rides and walking around the park. Both girls did great. Ais decided not to nap during the day, well until the waterfall on Pirates. She was not a happy camper and was really freaked out. On the way home she cried anytime we hit a bump in the road.



Aisling went to work for a party for Daddy's Tiki project. She wore her little Hawaiian dress to show her support. She had a good time with Daddy.



She also had a play date with her boyfriend Fintan. They actually played together for a little while, well more like next to each other.


She didn't like his train or swing and cried when she was put in both. So much for my dreams of riding roller coasters with her, at least for a while. Fintan is walking really good and is just as cute as can be. The kids played with bubbles and crawled/walked around Fintan's new house. They are so cute together.



Ais celebrated her first Valentine's day and opened a pile of cards. She would study each envelope before she would shred it to bits. Then she would carry the card around the house. She had so much fun with it.



We also went to Disneyland this last weekend with Becca. Ais decided not to sleep in the car again and was a bit tired, plus she was getting sick too. She screamed both directions on the tram. I am not sure if it was because she was tired, sick or still traumatized from the Pirates incident a few weeks ago. Either way she was just not happy. It was packed at the park, but we still had a great time hanging with Becca.

Ais is getting close to walking, but still hasn't quite figured it out. She has started pointing at things that excite her though. It is so cute she looks like a little ET half the time. She is starting to talk more too. She says Mama and Dada in relation to us some times. She can also say Blast off, or a variation of it which sounds more like baaaa ahhhh. It is a little game we play with her. She is learning so many things so quickly. It just amazes me every day.
