Have 3 Daughters They Said...Itll Be Fun They Said

Found another good use for my white board calendar besides weekly meal planning. Finally added a cleaning schedule that I'm vowing to try my best to stick to!!!!!! #forevercleaning #housework #someonesgottadoit #cinderellycinderelly

Moments like this make me want to sit in the car with the A/C cranked just to get a little bit of SILENCE in my day #naptime #babybeau #kaschygirl #doihavetowakethem

My grandfather, my mother, my father and all the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedom, happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸🗽🔴⚪️🔵

Today was Beau's first visit with the pediatric orthopedist to address her scoliosis. After reviewing her X-rays it has been determined that she has infantile idiopathic scoliosis. Which isn't as bad as it sounds considering that they originally told me she had infantile congenital scoliosis which is a form of scoliosis that indicates deformities in her spine and developmental issues in her heart and lungs. So, given the two options she is on the lesser end of the bad news. Now for the sad part, she has been diagnosed with a 30 degree curve and given that she is so young the doctor for sees it only getting worse but he wants to get one more X-ray in July to see if it is indeed getting worse or by the grace of god getting better as she grows and gets stronger. He doesn't really see this happening so has pretty much prepared us for casting. Now this may seem trivial but it really isn't. In order to put the cast on correctly my 6 month old infant will need to be sedated. As if that wasn't scary enough the casts need to be replaced every 2 months which means my INFANT will need to be sedated every 2 months until she has less than a 10 degree curve which could take anywhere from 6 months to 3 years. If at the max time of 3 years she has not become less than 10 degrees curved she will be considered for surgery. I think I had done my fair share of googling once she was diagnosed so I think I took all the news pretty well. even though nobody ever wants to hear that their child is going to be placed in a cast covering her entire torso thus missing out on the fun of bath time with her sisters or summer swim time I can only hope that the sacrifice now will eliminate the need for surgery in the future

So I've been told by quite a few people that I should start blogging. At first I was like "there's nothing really too interesting about me" but is there? That was a question I pondered for a couple days. I mean... Doesn't everybody have three little girls under the age of 6 that wake up every morning with the intention to drive you batshit crazy? Or am I the only one that walks round with baby spit up on her shirt and dried food stuck to her jeans? Sometimes I can't figure out if I need to scratch my watch or wind my butt (if you're a steel magnolias fan you'll totally laugh at that reference) but ultimately I decided that I don't really care who reads my blog. I feel it will be a good way to get my thoughts out in the open. Therapeutic huh? Right! So here goes. Feel free to join me on my journey of blogging madness. I'm by no means a professional writer but I can almost guarantee a good laugh now and then at my expense. There will be laughs, recipes, easy mom makeup shortcuts and hair dos and maybe even some of the struggles that I face as a stay at home mom of three crazy little girls (because every mom deserves a good mental breakdown every now and then right?)
