It's been a little crazy lately....

It has been awhile since I have posted anything, so I have some updates.

Ethan

All seems to be going well with Ethan. I have another appointment the first week of October. Then another appointment is scheduled for the following week at the ultrasound place to check on Ethan's growth at 32 weeks. We are feeling confident that all will be ok, and he won't be TOO big nor too small.


He has been moving around quite a bit lately. I had forgotten (and so quickly) how much these little ones move around! It's awesome.

Madyson

Madyson is doing great! She is walking about 99% of the time, and her hair seems to be growing in much thicker and longer! YAY! Can't wait for hair accessories!


Yesterday and today was picture day at daycare. Yesterday, the majority of the kids were not cooperating because it was nap time when they decided to take pictures. We all know how kids are with routines. They KNEW it was nap time and were tired! And today.... well apparently today, it was just Mady that did not cooperate. I guess the process freaked her out. They were unable to get her to say still without holding out her arms begging to be saved from the camera.


Also, Mady is finally back to her healthy and mostly happy self again after a rough few weeks. She had a sinus infection one week, then hand foot mouth disease, and latest was an eye infection. Poor girl. Soooooo we started her on a kiddie vitamin and V8 Fusion is now the juice of choice in our home. Trying to keep her as healthy as possible on all levels.

Casey

Casey is starting a new shift next week, which should be interesting, but definitely no complaints. It will be a good change for awhile. He got put on the squadron jet at work, so that's a bonus as well. He feels honored to be on it, and I am VERY proud. :)

He is sick at the moment. It appears he has the same eye infection type thing Mady had last week, and the doctor gave him the same eye drops but they didn't work. Now the other eye is starting to get super red, and he feels miserable due to fever and congestion etc. Long story short, the guy who never ever goes to the doctor has been twice this week. This time, he opted for Urgent Care.

My Mom, Tammy

My mom had her 2nd surgery, and has received some pretty good test results from that surgery. She just started back to work on Wednesday for partial days. She still isn't feeling quite herself, but she's being a tough cookie for sure!


They are still awaiting a doctor's appointment to discuss further treatment options.


I wish more than anything I could be there to help her out. I know everyone is taking such good care of her, but wish I could pitch in as well. Not that I really could anyhow... my belly is getting in the way of me taking care of my own house.


And finally....                                           

Me

I am doing well. I can't complain........ too much. ;) Just this darn big belly gets in the way of every day activities now, and naturally is also taking its toll on my back and overall feeling of wellness. However, this is nothing out of the ordinary, and this is just a part of getting our sweet Ethan here.


I have definitely found my limits lately, tested them, and failed. I am having to rely more on Casey to do certain things and not to overdo it too much.


My nesting stage is also in full swing. It's been difficult keeping myself from doing silly things like cleaning out closets all day on my days off, and recognizing that days off are meant for resting. Either I can SLOWLY work on organizing projects or the closets will have to wait. :)
