Surgery Update

William had surgery on Monday, and I really wasn't looking forward to it! The poor kid has been through enough and I wasn't looking forward to him in pain.
We got to the hospital at 6:45 and had a lovely wait of 2+ hrs. William did good in the beg. but then began to get bored, hungry, and irritable. Melts downs occurred due to the word "NO" but we quickly diverted. It was a tad bit to long of a wait for a 2 yr old! He got some good old versed, but that didn't seem to phase him! He was being too nosy (hehe, mother after all!)
He went back shortly after 9 and was done at 9:45ish. We got to see around 10:30 and then we were let go around 11:15. He did better waking up this time and wanted his IV out as soon as he was alert enough! He took a while to drink/eat but he did so, after being home for a bit!
His pain has been great. (If I have to say anything good about his horrible reflux days-it is his awesome (or not so awesome) pain tolerance!) He really does well with pain. I gave him his prescription pain med twice and motrin since. He gets it about 1x a day now. He is playing and acting like himself-we're just watching him, as he is on some restrictions to make sure everything stays together and he doesn't injure himself :) He's not doing a very good job of remembering he just had surgery! Geesshhh why does he forget, he's 2! :) We got back in 2 weeks for a check up!
Overall he is doing well and things are going much better then expected! I'm so proud of my sweet boy!

Happy Easter!

We had Easter on Saturday, as lucky me was working Sunday :( (I have to say the holidays are getting old! But who wants a 9-5, 5 day a week job-when I've worked 3 days a week my whole nursing career! Never mind the fact, I don't want my kids in day care that much! Some year.... ) We had the neighbors over, of course! :) We had a great spread of food, decorated eggs, cookies and had an Easter egg hunt! William was so excited about the hunt this week! He is finally getting the concept after doing it a couple of times!



Easter Spread, yummy fried Turkey!


Decorating Easter Eggs


William used a wire whisk, it worked great!





Now time to decorate cookies, yum yum!





Time for the egg hunt, including the adults!


And William was off! He totally got the idea this time! He was so excited!







SO FULL look!



Thanks guys for coming over and letting us celebrate early!

Dinasaur World

Playgroup (Wendy and I) took our families to Dinasaur World on Saturday. None of us had been and it wasn't to bad. Small but the kiddos seemed to like it. William liked seeing all the big figurines, although we're not quite into the dinasaurs yet!

The figures were quite real and pretty impressive actually









What's next Mom?

Hugs for Olivia!

Feeding the fish, a BIG hit with William and Olivia!



A nice morning out before we headed into WIlliam's Surgery!

The many faces of William and Daddy too!

Daddy and William had fun 1 night while I was still at work. William loves the camera!

"play baby"

Here's our little man posing one night on the window sill :)

Here is my 12 week sono picture....

Close up of William's shirt :)


It's been a rough 1st trimester and we are hoping for smooth sailing from here on out! We're also shooting for 40 WEEKS! Keep those prayers coming, as baby and I need them! The all day sickness seems to be lessening and maybe the worrying will go away soon! I definitely feel more stressed this time around, but believe it or not I'm not worried about the pre-ecclampsia. Go figure! It's already been a totally different experience then William-so as my family would say, maybe there is a girl in there! We would be happy with a boy as well. We're routing for healthy!
Our due date is 10-9-10!
