Hi Everyone, Sorry for taking so long to give an update or pics. I will post new pics soon. Life has been a little crazy. My dad had heart surgery about 2wks ago, my brother moved to Florida (which Carlos and I helped with and drove down), I'm trying to start homeschooling, and now we are all sick (almost all of us).
My dad is doing ok, I've been helping out with caring for him so it's taking a lot of my time. The drive to Florida was an experience. We took Ari with us, she did great, until our ride back and she had enough of her car seat. We drove straight down Friday, with my brother's step son and their dog - 22hrs with many stops. We checked in to a hotel at around midnight, then the dog was fascinated with Ariana and just wanted to love on her. He is a 75lb boxer, so once we got him settled in his cage, we slept. Ariana didn't seem to mind him licking her feet. Saturday we helped get things unloaded from the truck, mostly Carlos helped while I stayed with Ari. Then we headed back to Jersey. We stopped Saturday night and Sunday night since Ariana protested loudly when I put her in her car seat. Her poor bottom was sore, she cried whenever I changed her diaper too :(
We got back Monday and she had a scheduled doctor's appt. and is doing great. She weighed 11lbs. 6oz. She's eating cereal and loving it. She tries to grab her toys, loves to have her hands in her mouth, and smiles a lot. Monday Carlos came back sick and yesterday Ari and I woke up sick. Kayla is also sick, Aliyah is getting over being sick, DJ showed signs of a runny nose this morning, and Mia was sick last week. Ari is breathing very loud so I'm taking her to get checked later this afternoon.
We have pics from our Florida trip...I will post them soon. Thank you all for your patience and dedication to checking on Ariana.
