Time to Run

Natalie over Thanksgiving

The time to run my half marathon is here. I can't believe it! I am nervous, but excited to be running in honor of not only my miracle baby, Natalie, but for all the patents at Scottish Rite Hospital. I wanted to thank all of you for your support in helping my reach my fundraising goal. I also wanted to give a special thanks to Cassie and Crystal for making the cutest buttons for us to wear during the race in honor of Natalie (will post pictures later) and for all my friends and family that will be cheering and running along with me on Sunday in honor of Natalie. I ask everyone else to say a little prayer Sunday morning as I run along side friends, family and other runners.

Thanksgiving was amazing! We have so much to be thankful for and I am reminded of that daily. Natalie is by far the happiest baby. The only time she fusses is when she is hungry and you to not feed her fast enough or when Big Brother gets in her personal space for too long. Plus look at the picture and tell me you do not fall in love with her...

We went to Austin to see Larry's sisters and the rest of the family for Thanksgiving. The kids did awesome in the car! We even made them listen to the Arkansas vs LSU football game on the radio on the way home for 4hrs...Go Hogs!

Natalie had her 15 month well check up; she was finally feel enough to have one. Her oxygen was 89 and she was 20.02lbs. I have been a little worried about her development. I feel like she is a few months behind, I know she has been through a lot, but mom's have to keep an eye on these things. She is almost perfect were she should be! The only thing we are kind of behind is speech, but I am hoping that once we get the tubes put in her ears, she will catch right up. Most children at 15 months can say 5 words, Natalie is only around 3 and that just happened in the past few weeks.

Natalie also got released from therapy! She met all her goals they had for her. We are going to try and continue to go once a month, so we can stretch her neck. The scoliosis tends to tighten her neck on one side. Continuing therapy all depends on insurance...got to love insurance.

Thank you all for your continuous support! I hope everyone is having a great start to the holiday season.
