Hi guys! It’s been a while, sorry about that. And because it’s been a while, you might have to read through this while I ramble a little… again, I apologize! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving! We sure did. My first Brooklyn Thanksgiving, it was fun!
Sarai’s doing good. She’s got good days and bad days, as far as her attitude is concerned. Can’t we all relate to that?? Yesterday was a BAD day. She was terribly fussy and didn’t even want to make donuts with me! (Was it a full moon?) Today was much better. She was smiling and cooing a lot, and just more relaxed in general. On Monday with her speech therapist, she said, “Wow, she’s so verbal today!” (The therapist said that, not Sarai. She’s got a good speech therapist, but not that good!) So, we take things one day at a time, and just know she’s growing and changing every day. Her head control is improving all the time, and she’s enjoying tummy time more. Lately I’ve been putting her on an exercise ball on her tummy, and she thinks it’s so funny! She pushes right up, looks around and gets such a kick out of rocking back and forth. Adorable…
We’ve had a babysitter set up for Sarai since last April or May. On Sunday she called me and said… she can’t watch her after all. I couldn’t believe it! I’ve really built a relationship with her. But she referred us to someone else, and now we’re all set again. Sarai has been watched for a few days with the former babysitter, so now will start with the new one with no “practice days.” We just don’t have time. Next week we have half a dozen doctor appointments and early intervention appointments. The week after, we’re off to Duke, then Christmas, New Year’s, and I’m back to work! So, it is what it is, and it will be fine. The woman is very nice and very happy to have Sarai.
Speaking of appointments next week… we see the developmental pediatrician and neurologist for the first time in 3 months. I’m DYING to see what they say! I’ll definitely let you know!
On our way to Duke in a week and a half… any ideas for slogans for onesies?? How about, “Welcome home Stem Cells!” I need a couple more ideas, help!!
I’ve been going to school for a few days, getting used to what our morning routine will be when I go back. It won’t be bad. My class is sweet, they ask every time I go in, “How’s the baby??”
I did an interview about our experience with cord blood banking, Sarai, and CBR with babysmartz.com. You can listen to it if you cut and paste this link…

It’s long, but there’s just so much to say!!
Speaking of links, my sister Katie thought I should make a public blog just in case anyone wanted to learn about us, so I made one and transferred all the blogs to that site (of course I would lose all the comments from you guys, so I’m not giving up this one!). But the newer and hipper version of Tough Little Peanut is….

If you want to check it out. It’s exactly the same.
Sarai was baptized this weekend, with Aunt Katie as her Godmother and Uncle Luis as her Godfather. It was such a beautiful November day, and Sarai looked like an angel in the baptismal gown that my grandmother made for my cousins and I with all our initials embroidered on it. My mom made her a beautiful Christening cap with Irish lace. It was such a special day for such a special baby!
Guess who's going to be 5 months old this week..... I can't believe it!
