Hayden's first trip to the Ranch

I can't believe I am just now posting this.  Hayden made her first trip to the ranch when she was almost 2 months old.  We had a great time, and Hayden did really well on the drive down.  She loved being held all weekend and she slept through the night for the first time while we were there.  I guess the ranch is just as relaxing for her as it is for us.  We are going down there again in 2 weeks, and I can't wait.  She is old enough now to go on a round or two and to go swimming in the new pool.  Then, the first week of October, Johnnie, Angela and Olivia are flying down there with us.  It will be so much fun to have them there.  We always have the best time with them!!!

Dr's Appointment

We had Hayden's appointment with the specialist for her Hemangioma.  He is putting her on a steroid to stop the growth.  She will go back in a month to see how the steroid is working, and eventually if it doesn't start shrinking, they will start laser treatments to remove it.  I am a little worried about he steroid.  Some of the side effects are gastrointestinal discomfort (she already has horrible gas) and weight gain.  She is already a big girl.  She is 15 lbs 9 oz and she isn't even 4 months old!!!!  As soon as she is off of the steroid, her weight will go back to normal....so we shall see if she has any of the side effects.  The pharmacy is ordering the steroid, so I will probably be starting it either tomorrow or Friday, so keep your fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.  Here she is being as cute as ever........

  

Hayden's Angel Kiss

About a month after Hayden was born, she started to get a birthmark over her right eye.  Over the last month, it has grown and gotten darker.  We are going to a specialist in August only because of the location of the Hemangioma, and to make sure it doesn't affect her vision. They usually fade away and are completely gone as the child grows.   It looks like a little strawberry over her eye.  She is so cute, and we think she was definitely kissed by an angel---she is the happiest, sweetest little girl!!!!

Baby Hayden Elizabeth was born on May 7, 2009.  She weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz.  I ended up having a c-section, and came home from the hospital on Monday.  Little Hayden is so perfect and adorable, and we are so happy that she is finally here.
