Addy's 2 Year Well-Visit

FINALLY...this morning we were able to do Addy's well-visit!  We've had to put it off the last couple of weeks since she's been sick.  Shame on me for not getting exact numbers, but I think she weighs 28lbs & is 33 inches tall!  That puts her in the 35th percentile for height & 70th percentile for weight.  She got her last Hep A vaccine & won't have anymore (other than flu vaccine) until she's 4!  That doesn't help me any since I'm about to start ALL OVER with vaccines again once Baby Sister arrives :(  Sometime this week Addy has to go have blood work done.  It just checks all of the levels to make sure her numbers are in the normal range.  I dread it because they are going to take her blood like an adult (from the arm) not just a finger prick :(  Of course, it's an optional test, but peace of mind is worth a few minutes of screaming.

She loves to twirl when wearing a dress or skirt!  

Happy Mother's Day

Personalized Books

Pappy & Grams got Addison some personalized books for her birthday.  There are 4 books & each one includes her friends (Avery, Logan, Maggie & Parker).  She loves it when we read the books to her & she hears familiar names.  I need to get it on video along with a hundred other adorable little things she's doing now.

30 Weeks

My check-up was this morning, so I dropped Addy off at the back-up MDO while I went to my appointment.  Unfortunately, while in the room waiting for the dr the nurse came in to say he had an emergency, so I had to reschedule.  I rescheduled for this afternoon & decided to just take Addy with me.  I explained to her that we were going to the dr to check on baby sister & listen to her heartbeat.  She seemed pretty interested.  She was a doll the whole 20 minutes we were there!  I may just start taking her with me from now until the end!

YAY!  I've only gained 3lbs since my last appointment a month ago!  I guess that makes up for the EIGHT pounds I gained the previous month!  Blood pressure is great & baby's heartbeat is perfect.  I go back in 3 weeks, then we'll start every week.

Back to MDO

Addy went back to MDO today!  She was SO excited to go see all of her friends.  All morning she kept telling me everyone in her class that she was going to see.

Spray Park

Last night Blake wasn't feeling very well, so he went to the doctor this morning.  We saw this coming a few days ago, but was just hoping it was a little cold & would pass us by.  Turns out it's a nasty sinus infection & bronchitis.  BOOOO!  I think I need to hire someone to come in & disinfect our house!  Luckily, Addy is doing just fine & has made a full recovery.  Well, I think so anyway.  Her check-up is next Monday.

This morning we went to the spray park & had the whole place to ourselves.  It's always nice to go during the week when everyone is in school.

A friend of mine just got back from a family vacation to Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos.  Her little girl is 4 months older than Addison.  They all had a wonderful time & it looks like a place that will be on my radar in the future when planning a vacation!

Festival & Maggie

We finally ventured out of the house today to go see what a local festival had to offer.  Most of them are about the same & this one was nothing different.  Well, except for the boat races on the river.  We got there just in time to watch the race.  I was a little scared being that close to the river & the boats going so fast!  I've seen those shows about how the boats lose control & fly into the crowd, etc!!  Yikes!
The skies were dark & gray, but fortunately no rain came while we were there.  It was actually a good time to go with the breeze & clouds!

Since Addison has been sick she has only seen her BFF Maggie from a distance through the kitchen window.  Well, today when we got home, Maggie & her family were just getting home too.  It was one of the sweetest sights I've ever seen!  I pointed out to Addison that Maggie was outside & Maggie's dad pointed out to Maggie that Addison was outside.  When they saw each other it was like a scene from a movie.  They started running towards one another & finally met up in the middle of our neighbors yard.  Addison patted Maggie on the back as if to say 'nice to see you old friend' & Maggie was telling Addison all about MDO (since Addy hasn't been in forever).  HILARIOUS!!!  I love it!  I'm so happy Addy is doing better & can now play with her friends again.  Maggie also gave Addy a birthday present.  She got some jammies & a Wonder Pets sticker/coloring book!  Thanks Maggie & family :)  We are so lucky to have you in our life!
