Tha...Hey Girl...thanks for your comment tonight :)<br /><br />That is one huge cast btw...in the red outfit she looks all muscles...like she can take a b!tch out!!(comical from my side of the effing spica)<br />I love the pink casting and all the strategically placed holes...do you tickle her little belly in the tummy hole lol!!<br /><br />Any ways..this comment went awry a couple of sentences ago. I just wanted to say thanks and mention like all the other pp's said...she is too damn cute...also, if you've never had a cast you might not know it get's itchy as shit in there...can you devise a way to rub the skin under the cast to give her a little scratch??? Some of the crying might be she is itchy???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-23488448943605283722012-01-18T18:50:22.354-05:002012-01-18T18:50:22.354-05:00I feel so bad for all of you. It's like nothin...I feel so bad for all of you. It's like nothing can be easy, can it? <br /><br />That cast is HUGE! I wasn't expecting that it would be up so high. I wonder how uncomfortable it is for her to be on her back and have feel it there. <br /><br />I love the idea of the puppy pads in the cast! I wonder if anyone at the company ever thought of this use for them. Too bad the hospital didn't have more (any?) recommendations on how to deal with things like that. <br /><br />I hope that your back gets feeling better soon. <br /><br />And, like everyone else said, Kaia is so beautiful! I love seeing pictures of her!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860497122946287983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-68458979534805284382012-01-18T14:38:49.468-05:002012-01-18T14:38:49.468-05:00Kaia is a beautiful girl!

Thanks for the pictures...<br /><br />I'm sorry that the cast did cause so many issues for you guys. It is definitely a lot bigger/higher up on her than I imagined. The cast will be a lot of work and added stress to the already stressful life of caring for a baby, but it does have an end date that you can look forward to. I think Kaia will come through it just fine.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194813242576110044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-1479533377838245462012-01-18T10:58:27.465-05:002012-01-18T10:58:27.465-05:00Awwwww!

You will triumph over all of this and have your gorgeous squishy baby back before you know it. I can't imagine all the little things being made so much more difficult.

I almost wish I had thought of that for my two kids who didn't even wear casts. <br /><br />When I was 6, I had a similar cast on (although not as high..and I wouldn't have been tempted to chew it, ha ha). Then had 2 more years of in and out of hospital with traction and 18 months of braces (in this position, for my hips). I was not, at age 6, "scarred." If anything, it made me stronger and more sympathetic. I believe it will only make Kaia stronger. And you, too. I know it has to be hard to see her like that and want to hold her without it on though. :( (I am SO glad to see you can kiss her belly!!)<br /><br />But try not to worry about her psyche..I really do not think it will do any damage to her psychologically. She has, after all, 2 loving parents reassuring her and loving her--don't doubt the power of that. <br /><br />Tara--also mama to a "Kaia" :)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075689602617443611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-62108432132711549122012-01-17T20:20:53.109-05:002012-01-17T20:20:53.109-05:00Sweet baby. She really still is totally adorable, ...Sweet baby. She really still is totally adorable, but I understand how this is stressful and frustrating and unfair still. Haven't you been through enough and hasn't KAIA? <br /><br />It makes me pretty angry for you, too. Despite still being pregnant and not yet having my rainbow baby in my arms... when I finally do, I want him to come home with me and be a NORMAL (what the hell is that?) baby and me to be a normal mommy (hah). Not that any BLM could ever be normal again. <br /><br />Anyway, thinking of you and hoping Kaia is in better spirits to indicate she isn't too sad and bothered. I imagine this is very hard emotionally, still.B.

And like you said, somehow you all will make it.

The cast does...Aw she's gorgeous, cast and all. The cast does come up quite high doesn't it? I didn't imagine it being that big or that high up somehow <br />:(<br /><br />It must be like carrying a beautiful giant starfish around. A beautiful CLEAN giant starfish! With very nice stripy legs! <br /><br />I don't know about psychological scarring from things that happen when you are very small. It's so hard to tell what stems from where, what was part of your natural personality, what was a result of your experiences. Jessica has the 'typical' ex-micro personality, so I've been told, extremely stubborn and going everywhere at a million miles per hour. She is very dissimilar in temperament to both myself and her father but perhaps that is just her and nothing to do with those months stuck in a plastic box. Like a beautiful giant crate! <br /><br />My own mother had post partum psychosis after I was born and I spent quite a lot of time being cared for by nurses on a ward when I was very small. I know that I was very, very clingy as a young child, I hated being parted from my mother. It is tempting to draw conclusions but I'm inclined to think that I was just made that way! Nothing to do with something I can't even remember?! It's such an interesting topic but I don't think I've reached any conclusion as yet.Catherine Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01618295389400457254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176061010619490822.post-43836989664156421042012-01-17T14:14:56.248-05:002012-01-17T14:14:56.248-05:00What a pain - your family totally deserves a break...What a pain - your family totally deserves a break.
