Sassy 80's Baby!






I just love how she has her hand on her hip and she is actually keeping her sunglasses on (for once).

We had some fun with posing as you can see:






"No more pictures please"


After many attempts to get a picture with my eyes open and Sabrina smiling, this is what we came up with.


On another note. We went to the doctor the other day and I pointed out some little red dots on the side of Sabrina's face and neck. The Doctor then suggested that we run some full blood work (she just got some done 6 months ago for what I thought was required lead testing) so that we could check her platelet count and iron (she is low already but has been fine when I give her vitamins). I am bad when it comes to thinking first before I speak and said: "Oh well I have a low platelet count that dropped when I was pregnant with her." Oh course on hearing that she wad even more avid to get the blood work done.


When I went home I was of course not looking forward to getting her blood work done again, seeing as the last time it was such a traumatic experience for the both of us. Me not looking at her arm but being freaked out by the faces Reed was making at the phlebotomists taking her blood, and Sabrina screaming her head off while they tried to locate a vein and proceed to "fish around" for it. I got home and talked things over with Reed and realized that she had her blood work done when she was first born to check her platelet count and it was fine! I do not think anything would change since then, and the red spots are gone anyway so now I am debating getting it done at all. And also come to find out that the lead testing is not required.


I have such a hard time disputing doctors; especially nice ones, any suggestions?


It did not make matters any better that when we got home Sabrina got a bloody nose. So of course being already upset at the looming potential blood work, I was a little freaked when she got her first bloody nose.

Maybe she got too much yogurt up her nose from opting out of using a spoon and thinking it is much easier to just drink your food...
