I'm A Big Girl Now!!
Little Miss Madison decided she no longer wanted a crib so she climbed out. I of course had no choice but to put her in a big girl bed. She did really good at first but four about four or five days she comes out before its time to get up, like 2:00am. Patiently waiting for a good nights sleep.

I found this on one of the many Preemie sites they have and thought I would share. I do not know the author but if I find out I will share.

Description:
If this list looks familiar, you might be a parent of a preemie baby! We have to laugh about it to keep our sanity! :)
You know you're a preemie parent when...
*You measure everything in cc's
*Luxury = sleeping three hours in a row
*You can change your baby's diaper with one hand
*In the course of the same day, you have wanted to slap and bear hug the same NICU nurse
*You feel a secret pull of jealousy when one of your friends delivers full term
*You have gotten a rash on your hands from washing with hot water and the NICU soap... eight times in one day
*The statement "breastfeeding is simple and natural" makes you laugh -- or cry, depending on the day and the hour.
*Your baby has ever outgrown an outfit... while s/he was wearing it.
*You cry when you're happy, laugh when you're mad, and throw things across the room when you're sad.
*You could drive the route from your house to the hospital in your sleep... and maybe you have.
*You can't remember what you talked about before feeding schedules, diapers, and growth charts.
*You're more interested in your baby's diaper than the State of the Union
*Your idea of a vacation is walking outside to get the mail
*When someone offers you their hand to shake, you think twice, envisioning the germs that you might take home from them
*The sound of your baby crying is beautiful, not annoying.
*While everyone else coos, "He's so tiny!" your six-pound baby looks huge to you.
*Your heart almost bursts with love at least once a day
*You would climb to the top of Mt. Everest, barefoot, if it would help your baby to grow healthier, bigger, or stronger.
*You not only know what "bilirubin" is, you have had several extensive conversations about it.
*You never knew how grateful you could feel that your baby has gained an ounce.
*You know where all the vending machines are on your floor of the hospital... and which ones have the good snacks.
*You literally live your life one hour at a time.
*The security guard at the front door of the hospital just waves you in when he sees you.
*You are grateful for the smallest things now -- a shower, clean socks, a meal that you didn't have to cook, a friend who has a whole conversation with you without offering you any useless advice.
*You had to give up your shower today to make time to read this list.

I is the
E essence of a survivor
The last few days have been very trying. My daughter is teething and since she is only 19 months has no way to communicate her wants and needs. So my days have been filled with tantrums and head banging. She could be looking at a book and all of a sudden is so mad. It doesn't take much. I am sure some of the mothers out there can relate. Being a single mom makes it very hard to get a break. I don't know that I would want to unleash this temper on someone else. I guess I will just grin and bare it, teething is not forever.
Teething
A teething toddler what can you do
You make her mad she throws a shoe
She comes out screaming & bangs her head
What did you do what have you said?
Not a thing you did or said was wrong
Temper of a teething toddler is strong
So turn up the music & try not to see red
Night time will come & she will rest her head.
