I put Anna in swim lessons this past summer. Randomly through her lessons I would give her thumbs up, she would do it back. As the lessons went on, I noticed that her thumbs didn't straighten all the way. I thought it was adorable and put no more effort into the matter.
A couple months later, the responsible parent noticed her thumbs. I replied with, "I know, it is so cute." Josh looked at me funny and said, "I don't think they should look like that." So two months later we were off to surgery. Anna had trigger thumb, it is common and a quick surgery.
You may think she is scared, not the case. She refused to talk to anyone, including me or say anything because we made her take off her Ariel pajamas.
The next day she was as happy as could be. It might have been because she got to watch movies all day. She called her bandages her wrappers, and she wanted them off for the first two days.
Josh cut them off a week later. This was great for me, because I had to keep them dry and clean. Anna's second favorite thing to do is play with water.
The stitches are healing and she is doing great, she never had any pain, and never really complained about them at all.
Anna wanted to open a present, but we were going to a Christmas Eve party, so I told her no. She stopped being upset just long enough to look up and say, "I'm being the Grinch." The good parents we are, we just laughed.
She got over it Christmas morning.
All I can say is that Piper is adorable!
Anyone notice my pregnancy glow! We found out the day after Christmas, that we are having a third little girl!
Christmas Eve. Our tree was the ugliest tree. Josh was gone, so a friend helped us get it. A few high lights: there is an orange extension cord running up the back; the top and bottom half of the tree blink (not the middle); ornaments continued to be moved higher; it needed water every 5 or 6 days (which tells me the thing was not very fresh). Here's to next year!
In december I turned 30!
