Who turned out the lights?
So Tom's school threw us a post baby shower. My father in law drove me and Cadie over to the school. It was a good time and we got even more Cadie stuff (girl is so spoiled already).
Well, we're driving home and all of a sudden Cadie starts screaming bloody murder in the backseat. She's never screamed like that, so it got Mommy very scared. I told my father in law to just pull over in the next parking lot and I'd get in the backseat with her. It was a little past her feeding time, so I could try and soothe her until we got home.
So I get back there and instantly burst out laughing at my daughter. She has managed to pull her headband and bow down so it was completely covering her eyes. She's desperately trying to grab ahold of the bow, all the while giving her lungs a good exercise. As soon as I righted the wrong, she was quiet the entire trip home.
I've only heard her scream once more since then. And this time I was lucky enough to have my camera handy. I guess she didn't learn her lesson.

One Month Old
I cannot believe that our little Cadie bug turned 1 month old yesterday. I'm trying to blame my denial on the percocets. It's not working so well.
We had a pretty peaceful day. Spent a little time with Grandpa, took a bath, and then took loads of pictures. I embroidered her onesie and it came out so cute, I'm going to make her some more. I might even consider selling a few. I don't know yet.

Cadie's getting a new bathroom!
We got a super duper deal on a 3 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse. It was ok enough to live in, but needs a little bit of work. For example, the spare bathroom is atrocious. The previous owner painted it this pinkish-purple color and then picked out a matching pink/purple/white faux marble laminate floor. Then, they put this fugly red and gold border up because, you know, it goes so well with pink/purple walls.
Besides being unpleasant to look at, the bathroom has some other issues. The tan tub/shower unit is broken. The faucet jiggles and is being held in the wall by several obvious chaulking attempts. Our neighbor's floor cracked in his, which gives you an idea of the quality.
The only time that bathroom is ever used if we have visitors, which is rare, so we've been living with it. Well, before we found out what we were having, Tom mentioned that if we were to have a boy, he'd consider redoing that bathroom. He didn't want his son to have to use a pink bathroom. I told him if we had a girl, I wouldn't want her to have to use an ugly bathroom, even if it was pink.
We went back and forth on this, whether we'd redo it or not. Well, I'm happy to say that Cadie will not have to use a fugly pink bathroom.
Here's my plan:

Here's my plan:
Valspar Carolina Inn Aqua
Allen + Roth Vanity and Mirror
Price Pfister Brushed Nickel Bathroom Faucet
Portfolio 3-Light Brushed Nickel Vanity Fixture
I am also trying to decide on some sort of tan tile or a slate tile.
The shower curtain will be a floor to ceiling white waffle curtain.
We'll have slate blue and white towels.

So Relieved!
The doctor called last night with Cadie's test results. They came back negative for cystic fibrosis! She's perfectly healthy! Relieved doesn't even begin to describe what we feel. Finally, something's gone right!
We have a busy couple of days coming up. We're spending Easter at Grandpa's, heading down to Vanderbilt to see the transplant team and go over the autopsy, and then doing some major shopping at the army base. So I leave you with these- a few pics from the other night and Cadie's Easter Bunny pic. Enjoy and have a fabulous holiday!

Getting clean!
Cadie had her first real bath tonight. It was so much better than I expected it to be. I expected pee and poo flying, baby screaming, Mommy pulling her hair out, and Daddy capturing the whole thing on camera. She did great though! She actually seemed to enjoy the warm water and getting clean. Hopefully it'll be this peaceful every time. I leave you with some pics, of course!
