Eric finally made me break down and get Alahna's hair cut. It was getting really long and uneven, but the curls were so pretty that I was resistant. I had a hair cut set for myself and he suggested to call to see if we could add Alahna on. Husbands are really good for those spur of the moment, just bite the bullet and do it decisions. Being a typical mom I was parnoid the whole time that she was going to make a crazy rash movement and a huge clump would come off, necessitating a really short do. HAHA. She actually did surprisingly well and the hair stylist was amazing! We will definitely be going back there again =)
The second "first" was not so fun...at a mear two years and five months Alahna got her first broken bone!!! She is one tough girl and is always doing daredevil stunts like climbing up really high playground equipment, so surprisingly (and thankfully) this actually just happened while she was on flat surface at the park! We are unsure of exactly what happened, but she was running and she said a little boy pushed her. She must have caught her leg just right! Eric took her to the doctor right away, but she seemed to be doing ok so they oppted to watch and xray the following day if she wasn't walking. That night she totally decompensated and wouldn't walk at all. It was so pathetic. Some of the sad phrases were "I can't walk mama" and "I want to try to walk" which would then follow with a few limping steps and a big cry! Poor baby!!! It totally broke my heart! They went to the pediatric orthopedist in the am and ended up getting the result of a probably growth plate fracture or small toddler's fracture that didn't show up yet. They still wanted to cast it for 3 weeks and then see how she's doing. Thank God for all the prayers for her, because that is a pretty short time and she does have a little shoe that we can put on it for her to walk. She was pretty tired and didn't know what to think of the whole thing the first few days, but really perked up today. She learned how to walk pretty good and even got to participate in the easter egg hunt at papa's house today! What a trooper!!
I had my first OKAP exam which is basically like a mock board exam for ophthalmology. Our program takes this very seriously so I've been spending all my extra time (after Alahna goes to sleep mostly) studying for the last two and a half months. I'm really glad that I can finally spend some time with Eric and get excited about our new addition that will be making his appearance in a little over 2 1/2 months!!
