High Heels and Hairbows begins...

"...and we don't know how we got into this mad situation, only doing things out of frustration, trying to make it work but man these times are hard......and we don't know how we got into this mess, it's a God's test, someone help us cause we're doing our best, trying to make it work but man these times are hard."

And so begins my first attempt at blogging....I started High Heels and Hairbows as a better means of updating the masses about Sophie's progress.  This way, those who want to tune in, can....and those who don't will no longer have to be bothered with my emails.

In our attempts to find ways to soothe our sweet girl, we have been experimenting with different types of music....especially ones with lyrics that seem to mirror where we are in this journey.  The excerpt above from The Script's, For the First Time truly seems to capture exactly where we are right now. 

To date, we still have no answers as to what is plaguing our little girl.  My mom said something tonight that summed it all up, our daily experiences with Sophie are challenging.  She is rarely comfortable in her own body (constantly arching and moving around), can cry for hours on end, and what works to soothe her one time, typically does not work the next.

Speaking of my mother, let me just say that I am blessed beyond belief to have her here everyday taking care of our babies while we are working.  There is never a worry about the quality of care they are receiving while she is here and the welcome she receives each morning (Cole banging on the storm door, squealing in delight) reassures us that Cole adores the arrangement as well.
We are back to the pediatrician tomorrow and our first visit to the neurologist is on Monday.  Hopefully I will have more information to share after those appointments. 

To end on a positive note, Sophie rolled over for the first time this week (from her belly to her back).  I'd like to think Sophie knew we needed her to do that to help boost our morale ~ "...we're smiling though we're close to tears even after all these years, we just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time."
