Already at the ER

Yep you read that right...it has only been 1 month since our beautiful daughter arrived and her brother has already put her in the ER.

Tonight we were all visiting my Mom for dinner. Ethan had gotten a new toy car and was busy playing with it on the sofa while Mom and I were trying hard to keep Ella Grace awake. We had her sitting in her boppy on the floor while we were making faces to keep her awake and the next thing I know, Ethan accidentally dropped his hard metal toy car directly over the side of the couch arm on to Ella Grace's head. Fortunately it did not hit the soft spot but did hit about an inch above her left ear just where her head curves. I called the doctor immediately who said that because of her age she needed to be seen at the ER asap.

The hospital staff was great with her. We had xrays done and it turns out everything is just fine. No fractures or any skull damage was present on the xrays and she was very alert and active which the doctor said is great since she just suffered a nasty bump on the head.

We are monitoring her closely for the evening but it appears as though everything is going to be ok thankfully!

It's a crazy life with two kids but I know this is just the first of probably many bumps and bruises. I am sure she will be paying her brother back for this one day!!!!!

Father's Day 2009

Here are some new pics of the kids from Fathers Day. We had a great day visiting with Joey's Dad and Grandad and just celebrating the wonderful Dads in our lives. Unfortunately my Dad and Step Father could not be with us to celebrate this year. I hope we can all be together next year.




This is the first time Ethan has ever touched his baby sister. He is being such a sweet boy by rubbing her tummy and trying to make her feel better!

I spiked Ethan's hair for the first time! He looks like such a BIG BOY with his hair like this!

Ella Grace at one of her peaceful moments. God Bless us until this horrible colic goes away....

Ethan giving a BIG cheesy smile for the camera. He is such a little clown!

What a great picture to capture on Father's Day!

Pics of my beautiful daughter!!!!!!

Hello world! My name is Ella Grace Kramer and as of today I am 3 weeks old. Sorry my mommy does not have any recent pics to upload yet but you guys can check these out from the day I was born, May 27th. Stay tuned because I am sure you will be seeing lots of pics of me in the upcoming months as I grow and change and become a Big Girl!

Ella Grace has arrived!!!!!

But I am sure you could figure that out already since I have not blogged in like 3 weeks or so. She arrived on Wednesday May 27th at 9:37am. 6 lbs 8.7 oz and 19 1/2 inches long.

Life has been crazy since getting home. Wow two kids are really a handful so we are steadily trying to adjust to that. Not to mention that our precious little angel has a touch of colic so you all can just imagine what my life is like right now.

Ethan has taken to her slowly. I think she gets on his nerves with all the racket she is constantly making. Fortunately he has come to be very independent in the last few weeks and we have seen no signs on jealousy thus far.

I would upload some pics but for some reason my computer is not working properly so I guess pics will have to wait unfortunately.

Hope all is well with everyone. Pray that Joey and I find some peace soon....oh and some sleep :)
