I can't believe the weather!

I have been staying pretty busy on my two weeks off. I'm finally feeling better! I am still sore from time to time, but it depends on what I'm doing. My incisions are almost healed. I go to my follow up appointment tomorrow and go back to work on Thursday. The last two months have been a challenge for me. I never felt so sick before (including morning sickness from pregnancy) and I even felt depressed. I didn't want to do much of anything, but now I feel GREAT!!! It's amazing how much a gallbladder can ruin your life!!!

Well, last Sunday, was the first day I could actually hold Lily. The surgeon said I was able to left her and only her, but I couldn't physically do it. Trust me, I tried! So, I packed our bags and we went to visit Nana in Illinois for a couple of days. It was so good to see my mom. My sister, nephew, and brother in law came over to visit with us. Lily and I went to go visit Granny and Granddad (my grandparents). They were so excited to see Lily. I also got to visit with my friend Ansley for a bit. We didn't get a hold lot of time, but it was still good to see her.

My sister decided on a name for her baby. She is going to name him Braden Jack Wiggins. I am so excited to meet him July 9th. We still don't know how Dillon is going to react his baby brother.

We came home on Tuesday. However, we got home much later than expected. I had to run by Deaconess to do some inservices. What I thought was going to take me 10 minutes, ended up being an hour and a half. I had to bring Lily and it was a mess. She would not let me focus on anything else except for her. So, I didn't get home until 6pm. I was so happy to see John and he was happy to see us. Later that night, Lily surprised her daddy with pulling up to a standing position by herself. She had done it before, but not to where John could see it.

Thursday was not a good day! Lillian was starting to get a new tooth and she was a terror!!! She was fussy, crying, and mean all day long. My nerves were shot to say the least. At one point, I picked up Lily and she was screaming and throwing herself everywhere. She ended up hitting me in the nose with her head. I thought I broke my nose. It hurt so bad. It's still sore, but I didn't break it....thank goodness! So, when John came home, I just handed Lily off and told him I needed a break! So, John arranged a babysitter and he took me out to dinner. Very nice of him, but he still didn't have a clue how bad she was that day!!

Saturday, Lily still wasn't in the best of moods. Of course, she wasn't sleeping well due to her tooth. We had a birthday party to go to that evening, so we were trying our best to get her to take a nap.....yeah right!! We ended up being late to the party. Lily decided to pee everywhere 3 times before leaving the house. Needless to say, that was a mess! Anyway, we arrived! The birthday party was for Austin Olds. He turned two! Lily and Austin got to ride around in a wagon thanks to Uncle Aaron. Lily LOVED the wagon!! (I guess we will be buying her one for her birthday!) I really wish I would have taken a picture of it. It was so so cute!!!

Congratulations Luke and Ashley Schultz! Bowen Matthew arrived March 7th at 1:15am, 7lbs 14.7 oz and 20 inches long! He is beautiful! Congrats to Rae....she is an AUNT!!

Sunday wasn't as pretty, but we took Lillian to the park. She seemed to enjoy it! She is definitely a people watcher!! On our way home, John washed his truck. Lily and I were playing and I just happened to see that her tooth FINALLY came through! YAY! Sad news though, she is getting both her top teeth now...great! So, our drama continues with the teeth.
