Monkey See, Monkey Do... and Monkey's Boo-Boo, Too

Keegan is doing so well since getting stitches on Friday. He was quickly back to his old, energetic self. Of course, I'm the one who seems to be traumatized. Here is a picture of his stitches.
See, it's not bad now that he's all cleaned up.



We go to the pediatrician later this week to get his stitches removed. I think it will be difficult to get Keegan to cooperate; I'm sure he'll be really scared. So, I hope this helps:


I sewed matching stitches on his monkey and gave monkey a matching bandage too. I even put a hospital band on monkey's ankle. When we go to get Keegan's stitches removed, I'm going to see if monkey can go first (I'm sure the doctor will play along). Then Keegan's turn. I hope it will help!
Thanks for everyone's notes and concern. All is well!

(PS Those of you who know how much I hate to even sew buttons back on shirts should be really proud of me!)

I'm a little behind in my blog reading and just read about your ER visit! Oh no! I noticed his head this morning at church but didn't realized what had happened! What did happen? Did he just fall and hit his head on something? So scary.

Poor baby..... Bet you won't be reading books in the parking lot of the Y when an ambulance is parked outside anymore! Glad to hear you handled it so well, hope we all can do the same when it is our turn

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Image
Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
