Night terrors vs. Nightmares?

I had no idea of the difference untill searching the web for what to do?

What are night terrors?
Night terrors occur in at least 5 percent of young children, and can start as early as 9 months. These mysterious disturbances happen during deep, non-dreaming sleep. A child in this state will cry, whimper, flail, and even bolt out of bed. Though his eyes may be wide open, he's not awake and isn't aware of your presence. Once the night terror (which can last anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour or more) is over, your child will return to a sound sleep and have no memory of the incident in the morning.

How are night terrors different from nightmares?
Nightmares happen during rapid eye movement (REM) or dream sleep. A child who's had a nightmare is likely to have a fairly clear idea of what scared him, though he probably won't be able to articulate his fright until he's about 2. He may also be afraid to fall back asleep, and in the morning, he'll probably remember that he had a bad dream.


We have watched my happy little Ava have nightmares since soon after she was born..but this past weekend she experienced night terrors and we just don't know what to do they have continued every night and I personally just cry at the sight..she screams her head off (and rarely cries on a normal basis)...these are horrifying no mother wants to hear her child screaming in fright...and she kicks uncontrollably at us trying to comfort her. Donny usually has to take her to sprits some water on her face to even wake her up yet her eyes may have been open the whole time. Very scary! Any suggestions?

Framing flashcards

They are simple, clean, and cute, some of my favorite things!



Lately I have been getting together everything for Max's nursery! I am attempting to make the bedding and most decor on my own- so far so good! I baught wooden animal springs for the windowsil that hold pictures (one each)..and I painted/colored them-sorry no pictures of the elephant, giraffe, and monkey picture holders but they turned out great! After all is said and done and Max arrives I will post a picture of his nursery with him in it :)

Ava's birthday bash*

Where have I been you wonder? Well besides becoming super busy lately at work (praise Jesus) our computer finally gave itself the ol' boot...thanks to our lovely daughter breaking our charging cord there has been no magic in that little box. So here's a short yet sweet update! I am STILL pregnant and growing very wide- Donny got a tattoo of our baby boys name on his forearm so it is definetly set in stone now.."Max Carter". YAY isn't that so exciting to be able to find out the sex of your baby and bond with it so much more for several months..I'm sure there is a ton of excitment in not finding out until after the extreme delivery making what you did so worth it..but me I just HAVE to know. We went through our first sickness with Ava she broke out from the antibioics she was on for an ear infection in hives...it went on for what seemed to be forever! And last but not least my baby girl has turned ONE! On the 25th she woke up with the biggest one year old smile you have ever seen! She just seemed older that day..but still my baby. We had no major plans for her birthday until today (Saturday) for her party. So Don and I just spoiled her all day with love and many many kisses..and dessert too. haha ! So todays her big day we are having family over to my moms in Tampa for a cookout and cake!

---------------
So it's late Saturday night and man o' man I am exhausted! I have thrown the best
1st birthday cookout I might add, very proud of my party throwing skills. Ava seemed thrilled and our cupcake cake worked! Needless to say she was spoiled rotten...Here's just a few pics from today I'll post her 1 year old pictures once we get them finished with editing-

*New Blog-MADE WITH LOVE.

So I came across an idea on Miss Mandie's website to have a second blog just for all the delicious recipes I love and can't wait to share! I called it Made with love because I have always been told the reason my great grandmothers food always tasted so good was because it was made with love. No one could make anything taste near what hers did...I truly believe this and started my own trend at home telling Donny I cook with Love. <3
