Making Progress

Here is the princess with all of her babies.....she spends lots of time taking care of them these days! For this picture, she was very specific in how she wanted them lined up beside her. Wonder where she gets that from? :)

We now use the piano bench or pillows to prop her "pink shoe" up!
Chloe and Pa playing with her new farm.

Chloe got a new baby from Tony and "Lissa".......she was SO proud of it because it has a "pink shoe" too! Thanks Melissa!


I just thought I would update with some new pictures real quick tonight and thank you all for your prayers this week. It's been a LONG......no REALLY LONG.........week at our house but we are making daily progress. You'll see in some of the pictures that Chloe looks much more like herself and is figuring out how to be a little bit more mobile with her cast. She will now crawl a little bit on it and scoot herself to something. Today, I even caught her on both knees while she played with her new Little People farm that Ma and Pa brought her. So........with each day, all of our attitudes improve and we get a little bit closer to June 24th.......the day the "pink shoe" comes off!

Not how we intended to begin.....

Our New Bathtime Ritual

Chloe's Trip to Kitchen Beauty Salon

Well, I had intended to begin our blog by updating you about all of the wonderfully fun things that Chloe discovers every day and about how our newest addition is growing and becoming quite the active little girl inside of me..................however.........

We begin our blog instead by writing about our Memorial Day and today, the day following. Last night, we went to some friends' house to have a cookout with several families. Kevin and Chloe were on the trampoline with a couple of other kids bouncing around. We are pretty sure that Chloe caught the "off-bounce" and she all the sudden buckled and started crying. Kevin had been holding her hands so he scooped her up and got off. Chloe is a very happy child and usually gets over things pretty quickly. However, this was different. She was very upset and seemed to be very uncomfortable. We finally got her still and she ate a hotdog for dinner. However, every time she moved, she would burst into tears. We decided to go to the ER and have her leg x-rayed. They didn't see anything and sent us home with the advice of using frequent Tylenol. We had a very restless night since Chloe would cry out in pain anytime she moved. So, this morning we decided to call the pediatrician. She graciously came in early and had already reviewed the x-rays and recommended that we see the orthopedist here in town because she thought that Chloe's pain level was too much for just a sprain. We then headed to the next doctor's office and there saw the orthopedic doctor and got new x-rays. They quickly determined that Chloe's leg was fractured right below her knee. They call it a "Toddler Fracture" because they say it's pretty common in kids her age. So, the next step was to get a bright pink cast on her leg that will stay for 4 long weeks! As you'll see, it goes from her upper thigh to her toes. Her pain seems to have almost completely subsided and now our biggest struggle will be trying to keep her from getting very frustrated about her sudden lack of mobility. Please keep us in your prayers over the next few weeks as we all adjust and work to stay patient!! Also pray that my body will continue to be strong as I am constantly growing and will now be carrying around a toddler with a cast!

Well, here we go into the world of blogging!

I thought that now would be a good time to start a blog since our family is growing and changing on a daily basis!

Life at our house is so much fun and very interesting sometimes! Hopefully, this will be a way that we can communicate with all of our friends and family and keep you updated on life with the soon-to-be four of us.

Thanks for Keepin' Up with the Kilgores.........
