Boy does Landen got it coming!

5 months

YES! It has amost been like 5 months since I last posted! Unreal. And our little baby girl is going to be 6 months next week. Seriously how fast has things gone. Alot has happened. I was spending alot of the past few months studing for my licence exam for Social Work. I took it right before Christmas and missed it by 3 questions. I was and still am prety disapointed as so much of mytime was focused on studing. So I am yet again studying and studying. I know God wants this for me so I will continue to work towards it until I pass.

On another note, I also started working part time at an eating disorder treatment facility. It has been WONDERFUL. I love almost everything about it and I truly feel I am using the gifts God has given me to work with this women. Plus, working part time I am able to stay at home with my babies, then Chad and I do a quick switch.

Kids are great. Landen continues to amaze me. He is learning SOO much which is making playtime so much fun. He trulyloves Addalee and loves to interact and play with her all the time.

Addalee is my sweet little girl, a true mommies girl. I see lots of fun times ahead.

Here are some pics. I hope to update more often. Hope everyone near and far had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

Addalee's face looks really funny.

2 weeks

I can not believe it has been 2 weeks since our little Addalee arrived. Alot has happened. Quick update, sorry no pictures, but wanted to update everyone on our crazy first two weeks.

On Addalee's one week birthday I was in a lot of discomfort and pain. Called my doctor, they put me on meds cuz I had a fever and the pain had increased.

At around midnight Thursday/Friday morning, I was in so much pain I could not stand up. We went to the hospital at around 1am on Friday, after a catscan and a bunch of test, at 7:30 it was discovered that I needed my appendix out! By friday evening I had surgery and was once again staying another night at the hopsital. My surgery went fine, but with dealing wit just having a baby, having surgery, trying to breast feed, a 2 year old that was extremly confused with everything that was going on, I seriously thought I was going nuts. I am just now starting to feel better. I am thankful that my pain was not the cause of anything serious, but how crazy was this past 2 weeks.

Chad officially started golf today. I am still trying to heal and a little nervous about adjusted to taking care of a newborn, landen, and myself after the surgery. Prayers please!

picture update soon.

Welcome Addalee

Quick update

No pictures, even though we have a ton to post, however, lack of internet at home doesn't allow the time to do that.

Addalee is still very content where she is. I will be induced on Wednesday evening, July 14th, if she isn't here before that. I keep thinking that it could happen any day. The past 2 days I have been more uncomfortable and having more contractions, but nothing regular. Time will tell!

Maybe if I have time I can go post pictures later. If not, next post will be from the hopsital!

:) Soon :)
