Sidney came home from the NICU 4 days after McKenzy. She had survived quite a time in the NICU having had numerous infections that made her neck swell up like a football player. She had two terrible IV burns that she will always have to scars to show for, blood transfusions, and so much more. We were so happy to take her home.
Three years ago we were surving bottles every three hours, crying for what seemed like 20 hours of the day, dressing two teeny tiny babies, keeping medicines straight, and changing diapers constantly. Of couse that was with only two babies home!!! Now we are surving totally differnt dilemas but there are certainly plenty of them.
We started the day with chocolate doughnuts yet again and than we were of to Kindermusic where everyone made a big deal over it being her special day. After Kindermusic, Sidney got to spend the afternoon with Auntie Roo going shopping and eating out for lunch. She got to choose a sister to go with her and she chose Abby. Abby was thrilled with this because she is getting very tired of waiting for her special day. We rounded out the day with rootbeer floats for everyone. It took the girls a little while to figure out why there was pop in the ice cream but before long they were eating them up.
Sidney has a very sweet disposition 90% of the time but when she wakes up in a bad mood it is a bad day for all who are in her way. She LOVES doggies and is thrilled when Jamahl lets her "borrow" one of his. She still has the least amount of hair but when she lets mommy put a piggy tail in it she looks absolutly adorable. She is finally getting her tooth in that the Dentist thought was not there and that seems to be causing her a great deal of trouble but she just perserves thru it all. She is strong minded but always willing to share her hugs and kisses with anyone. She is our serious girl who doesn't always have a lot to say because she is taking it all in. Sidney, we love you and know that your strong streak will serve you well in life. Keep your happy spirit and easy going outlook on life, you add so much to our special family!
