Happy St. Patricks Day!!

As I was reading some of my friends blogs and facebook status's yesterday, they all talked about making green pancakes and then a green dinner. I guess I'm kind of boring. I don't like cabbage except for grandmas ramen salad, and so we had ravioli for dinner. Very festive huh!! Earlier that day, I got the girls all dressed up in their matching green shirts Grandma Petrovich bought then. We were supposed to go to my friends house so that Morgyn could play with her son, but he ended up being sick, so we stayed away. They were all dressed up with no place to go, so I decided to go on a walk. My sister gave me her double jogging stroller and I absolulty love it. The girls had a lot of fun too. Whitney fell asleep in it and Morgyn did not want to get out. I was going to take pictures, but I ran out the door without the camera. Here are some pics of the girls in their shirts. They are my little sweeties!!

My baby 6 months later

I can't believe how time flies. Today my little "Whitwe" is 6 months old. It seems like yesterday I was running back and forth from the NICU all day to see her and feed her. She is growing and thriving and is pretty happy overall. We are working on starting solids. So far rice cereal does not appeal to her. I will try for a few more days and then move on to veggies. Here are some pics from the day she was born and today!!

An update on my health

I wanted to quickly let everyone know how I'm doing. Some of you know what's been going on, and some of you don't. I had another ERCP(Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) last Friday to replace the stint in my main bile duct. I had been itching quite a bit the week or so prior to the procedure and was wondering what was going on. Well, the stint was clogged like I thought it was and that's why I was itching again. The doctor thinks we will have about three years of these ERCP's , every 2-3 months. I am not looking forward to this, but I have no choice. The doctor also told Jason that he is quite confident that I have PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) just by the looks of the ducts coming from the liver. I guess they are continuing to look "unhealthy". For those of you who don't know what PSC is, it is a slowly degenerative disease primarily of the bile ducts inside and outside the liver. Pretty much my liver is slowly dying off. The specialist said I would need a transplant in 10-15 years. I don't know how I will feel come 10 years from now, but It does have a promising outlook. They say there is no way to stop the damage from continuing and they don't know why it starts, so now I just get to wait and let nature take it's course. I have a strong testimony of the Gospel in my life and know that this is just one hurdle in life. I also know and feel my Heavenly Father's presence in all of this. I know he loves me and when I get frustrated and down, I just remind myself of what our Savior Jesus Christ went through for all of us. Wow, I can only be grateful for my many blessing in my life. I love you all and hope all is well.

Crazy hair!

Ok, her eyes are kinda crazy here. Gotta love the smile though!

I have been trying to figure out what to with Whitney's hair lately. It's gotten so long on the top, but the sides are short. It's pretty crazy looking. I have been pulling it back with a little barrette and it looks pretty cute, but my mom suggested putting curlers in it. I thought the curlers I had would be too big, but they actually fit. I kept the one in over night. Now it's just curly crazy!! I guess I'll keep experimenting. She's so cute, any hairdo would look good on her. Who would have thought I would need to "do" a five month olds hair!! Here are some before and after shots.

The "bib" look

So, Jason was away tonight rehearsing with the Cache Community Orchestra so it was left up to me to get Morgyn in bed. We got her jammies on and brushed her teeth and she was pretty cooperative. We then read a few stories and she said her prayer(which by the way she says so cute). Anyway, I put her in bed and she was very quiet for a while. Jason came home around nine and that's when I heard her trying to open the door. I went to see what she was up to and found her like this.... She cracks me up. She isisted on wearing Whitney bibs around today and did not want to take them off at bedtime. I'm sure they will still be there in the morning!! I'm just grateful that she kept her diaper on. :)

Valentines Day

Well, I don't have anything real exciting to report. It was a rather laid back Valentines Day around our house. We ran some errands all together as a family. We even had lunch at Sam's Club- gotta love the cheap prices. Anyway, I tried to get a picture of the girls together in their Valentines outfits that Grandma P. bought(thanks again). Morgyn is not so big in getting her picture taken let alone sit still with her sister in her arms. This is the best one we could get. Hope you all had a great V day. We love you all!!
I forgot to mention that our little cutie, Whitney is five months old today!! How time flies :) We sure do love her!!

Morgyn's idea of big girl panties!!

So, first thing yesterday morning, Morgyn woke up wanting to wear her Ariel big girl panties. I was shocked and excited hoping maybe this was the turning point to begin potty training. As I proceeded to take her diaper off and put the underwear on, she wanted a diaper put back on but also wanted Ariel on. I decided to let her take over because I wasn't quite understanding her. This is how she wanted it!!!

Needless to say, the underwear thing didn't last very long. I was able to get her to wear the panties all by themselves, but only for about an hour. No accidents though. Then she was done and wanted her diaper back on. Everyone tells me it will just click with her one day, I just hope it's sooner than later :)
