So this weekend we went to the beach. Needless to say Kallie takes after her mommy!! She absolutely loves it and her feet in the sand. We had a little tent for her to sleep in and she barely slept. I thought I would share a few pictures!

6 Months Old!!
Yesterday Kallie was six months old. It is crazy how time flys. A friend posted a comment on my facebook page about how is just seems like yesterday they were decorating my car after our wedding. It really does seem that way.

Kallie is now 9lbs 15 oz and is 23 inches long. She is still in newborn diapers and is finally going into some 3 month clothing. Still has her bald spot on the back of her head but my gracoius she is getting hair on the top of her head. She is eating carrots and green peas... and no i am not making her eat those. She just doesn't like and fruits...She is putting everything in her mouth now and that means teething....Her favorite is a blanket..She is determined that she will turn over because she keeps trying. Her eyes are still blue so I am hoping that they will be that color being that she is 6 months and I dont see any other color in her eyes. Oh most of all she absolutely loves to hear herself talk..She is one loud baby.
Justin discovered that this is her favorite way of laying in her bassinet. Yes people sideways..
Here are a few pictures of her first beach trip.. We did have her in a tent.
By the way Justin found her bathing suit..
The beach sure does tire her out..

Just to update everyone they did not have to put a pace maker in. Her heart beat came back on its own. Needless to say me and Justin were two happy parents..
Here is a few pics from the hospital .........

Kallie is a whole wopping 9lbs 4oz now.... I enjoyed spending Easter with my little girl for the first time... I was sad that I couldnt take her to church for her first Easter but being that she was so fresh out of surgery still, I didn't was her exposed to alot of germs.. I was able to get a picture of her with her little easter bunny though..

Made it...
Ok so yesterday we made our way up to Charlotte. Yesterday we checked into the hotel, found some food and then found the hospital to make sure were it was. So this morning at 6 we checked into the hospital and the they did some pre op stuff for the sedated echo and for tomorrows surgery. She did wonderful then they discarged her an hour later then we were able to go home... We have one long day ahead of us tomorrow. We will have to be at the hospital at 530 tomorrow morning, then they will prep her for her surgery. The surgery will start at 730 tomorrow morning. Dr. Peeler told me and justin that it would be a 3-4 hour surgery.. They will mend the top hole in her heart and the one in the bottom. So she is with us tonight for one last night... :( But I know God's hand is working in the situation. I just ask every one to say a prayer for us..

Tears....
This past weekend was a little hard for me. Tomorrow we will be on our way to Charlotte for my Kallies heart surgery.. I would have to keep my self busy to keep from thinking about it. Justin mentioned to me Friday i think it was, "Why is the house so clean all the time?" I just laughed at him... The truth is that i have to clean to keep my mind off of everything. I am just that person that worry to much and i need to stop.. I know everything will be ok but its just that inital shock that its heart surgery and its on my baby. Everything is in the Lords hands and she has alot of people praying for her. Saturday night i spent the night with my mom and the tears came from then on. I had nothing to do to keep my mind off of it.
Sunday morning i was sitting on the bed with my mom and kallie and me and mom just started to talk and then came more tears..Its the fact that i wont be able to hold her when i want, feed her, and play with her. I know this is the best for her so she can get better but it is so hard for me. I am so thankful that my parents are coming up with me for the first week. Also Justins mom will be there Wednesday night and Thursday. I thank the Lord every day for both of them.
Later Sunday afternoon I went with my mom to visit my grandma so she could see Kallie before her surgery. My Aunt Wanda , Ashley and her little girl came also to she her.. And they gave the best gift every. My aunts church took up a love offering for Kallie to help us with gas and hotel stay while we are up there. With this said came a lot more tears. Its things like that, that let me know that it's in God's hands and my little girl will ok.
I am going to talk about a really hard subject for me . My Uncle past away this January. I miss him more than words could explain. Some nights I just sit rocking Kallie in the middle of the night in her room and just talk to him. It makes me feel closer to him. They say when God gives us one the takes away one but I never in a million years thougth it would be my uncle
monkey. But now I know that Kallie has her a Gardian Angel watching over her to tell her (and me)that everything will be ok.
