Trip to Louisiana

Addy had her sunglasses on & was ready to ride!  She doesn't go anywhere without the glasses!

Last weekend we had a small gathering in Louisiana.  It was a great time with family, fun & crawfish.  Some out-of-town family got to see Addison for the first time ever!  The weather was perfect Saturday & the cold, rainy mess held off until Sunday.  THEN IT SNOWED!  Yes, snow in Louisiana on March 21, 2010! 

Yummy crawfish!

A Day at the Park

Yesterday was such a beautiful day & finally warm enough for a trip to the park!  Whew!  Instead of me wearing Addison out, she wore me out!  Right now, I have to pick her up & sit her halfway up the slide then hurry back to the bottom to catch her.  Yeah, that won't be happening again!  Blake & I will have to take her next time & teach her how to climb up the fort then come down the slide.  I can't be in both places at one time!  She LOVES to slide & made a BIG scene when it was time to leave.  I've always seen other kids do that, but not MY kid :)  LOL

AMNIO RESULTS ARE NORMAL....

AND SHE IS STILL A GIRL!  The OBs office drives me crazy!  I made my daily call this morning to see if the results were in & got the run around as usual.   After being on hold the nurse comes back to tell me 'Oh, here they are!  Must've come in this morning with the mail'!  UGH!  It's such a relief that everything is okay, so I'm not going to dwell on the douchebags at the OBs office (for today anyway)!

Panties & Diapers

This morning Addy & I went shopping for some 'big' girl panties (for her, not me)!  We found this great variety pack that has some of her favorite friends!  Dora & Wonder Pets!

After wearing the panties for a few minutes & having an accident on the floor & on her shoes she WON'T keep her diaper on at all!!!  So, I've resorted to putting the diaper on backwards!  If she figures out how to get it off now, I guess duct tape will be next!

Festival Fun

Today we visited a local heritage festival for some fun & food!  The weather was beautiful & we all had a great time!  I wanted Blake to take Addy down the big slide, BUT, he didn't want to walk up all of the steps to get to the TOP!  Seriously!  Shame on him :)  I would have, but I highly doubt my OB wants me on a slide at the fair!

First taste of Funnel Cake (she loved it)!

Addison really enjoyed the Petting Zoo this time.  I guess she was just too young when we took her last year.  

Hey little piggy

Have I mentioned that I'm sick of taking pills?  I've been taking 4 antibiotics each day along with 2 prenatal vitamins!  Thank goodness tomorrow is the last day for the antibiotics!  UGH :(  Hope this nasty  sinus mess is gone for good (or at least until after the baby is born).

Oh, yeah, the baby!  Our baby girl still doesn't have a name.  Blake & I are discussing a few & think we've narrowed it down to about 5.  It's much harder this time around!  When we chose Addison Claire there was never any question or doubt.  Maybe we should just name her Eric Connor since that has always been our choice for a boy name!

One-hour Glucose Test & Sandals

Tuesday morning I had to go in for the one-hour glucose test.  Now they have a new drink flavor instead of the nasty lemon-lime  that I had with Addison.  It was Fruit Punch & not too bad at all.

I PASSED THE ONE-HOUR TEST!!!!  NO three-hour test for me this time!

Today is 2 weeks since the amnio & the results should be here by now!  Ugh!  If it was the glucose test results taking this long, I wouldn't mind so much.  I asked the nurse about it on Tuesday & she said that since Friday will be 2 weeks, my chart will be flagged & they will start contacting the lab for the results.  She also said that usually when it takes this long then everything is fine & it's good news.

The weather is starting to warm up & I wasn't prepared!  I washed up all of her new Spring/Summer clothes, but didn't think about new shoes!  Her black dress shoes didn't look very good with the pink/brown outfit she was wearing.  So, off we go to the store for some new sandals!

I don't know what this look is all about!

Since I had to pick up a few things at Walmart we also looked at sandals there.  I wasn't impressed with ANYTHING there, so settled on a pair of $3 pink sandals to hold us over until we can do some serious shoe shopping!

She liked the new shoes!

But, didn't like me taking a million pictures!

These blocks keep me very busy!

She LOVES them!

And thinks really hard about her next move when building a masterpiece!

Where'd they go?

Blake was looking for some of Addy's blocks last night & she decided he needed some help!
