Enough 2012!

First we had this


Then we had this


And today we have this...


Addison got her thumb nearly ripped off in the slamming of a bathroom door (ahem, Troy may have played a part, cough cough). It was so nasty I didn't take a close of picture of it. And while Addison LOVES to show off her new little splint thing, protecting her numerous stitches and itty-bitty break, she does NOT like to talk about what happened.

Her thumb looks like a robot thumb, thus her self-dubbed new name "Robo".

Shout out to Mark who swooped in to save the day - again- when he rushed home and took Addison to the ER for me. I'm SO glad he was able to do that because from what I hear it was pretty gruesome in there.

We spent the evening treating Addison like the princess she was born to be. I told Ben not to look so peppy. . .


odds are he's next.

Oh no! Poor little Addie! That ER is getting to know your fam too well.

Oh my goodness... so sad that the princess got hurt :( It is like a battleground at the Fitz house these days. Look out Ben... :P

Thanks for the love friends! And Julie, there literally is NO close up picture... It was really traumatic and she was freaking out so taking a close up was never even on my mind. Tell you what, when we take her bandage off a couple of days I'll take a picture of that, will that suffice? :)

Wow--I can't imagine handling that situation...and yes, I too am morbidly curious about how bad the thumb looked :) The baseball bat to the head with Troy is one that I'm sure will happen to us sometime. Hang in there!

Having now seen the thumb up close and personal, she is one of the bravest little girls I know! That is going to hurt for many, many more days. It's touching that she still can't look at it herself...and doesn't like to talk about it. She psyched herself into letting me change the bandage but she could not look at it. She did ask, "is that my blood?" when she saw the gauze. Poor, sweet girl!

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
