A new girl!

(just checked in)

(Ok so not so flattering pic of me and doesn't really do justice for how hilarious she was being!)

Addaly's procedure went fabulous! It was quick and painless! After we got to the surgical center and got checked in is when the fun began! They gave her some versaid so she wasn't so nervous! That was some crazy stuff! She was acting so crazy, Doug and I laughed so hard we were crying! She kept laughing hysterically, tried to grab stuff out of the air that wasn't there, and tried to talk but was slurring her words so bad we couldn't understand her at all! I'm sure the surgical staff thought we were a little immature laughing so hard, but it was hilarious! The actual procedure was done in about 25 minutes. Doug and I were sitting in the waiting room and we heard a loud scream. We looked at each other and figured it wasn't our little Doodle Bug. They had told us earlier that she would be back for at least an hour and a half. They would give her time to wake up out of the anesthesia, but that wasn't the case with out little girl! The screaming was in fact Addaly. She skipped all of the stages of waking up from anesthesia and was really irritable and screaming! The whole ride home she was an unhappy camper and in a really sad quivering voice asked "why did they have to put tubes in my ears?!" The tubes haven't bothered her one bit! She is just so tender hearted that it hurt her feelings! She took a little nap and has been back to her normal self! The dr. told us she would be a new girl! No more ear infections! Which makes for a happy little girl and happy parents!

It's about time!

I normally wouldn't be happy about an elective surgery, but in this case I am! My poor Addaly Doodle had suffered from ear infections in what seems like forever! This year has been especially worse. She has had one at least every other month or even 2 in one month! We go through the same routine every time she gets one. There's never really a fever and she'll play pretty good all day, It's the night time that's the worst! She wakes up in the middle of the night and can't sleep! She insists on coming up stairs to watch a movie. The good thing I guess is that now she's old enough to tell me that her ears hurt. So were able to give her motrin and the amazing ear drops! She goes in tomorrow to have tubes put in her ears. Although I'm happy that she will not have to suffer from ear infections anymore, I am a little nervous for the whole process! The procedure its self is doesn't take anytime and it won't be painful to her. It's the putting to sleep thing that has me nervous! I have never felt good about being put out. It took me 5 years to get my wisdom teeth out for that very reason. I know that she is in fabulous hands and they will take such good care of my doodles. I am so thankful that Addaly is a healthy kid and has never had any serious health problems. Good luck Doodle Bug! We love you tons! You will do fabulous!

What a fun filled weekend!

This last weekend Addaly and I had a blast! Thanks to our fabulous family and friends! (Doug had his own fun going to the Salt Flats with my Dad and brothers) We went to the county fair on Saturday. The kids loved it! There was a petting zoo with all sorts of animals. There was a camel, bunnies, tons of goats, pony, donkey, turtle and I'm sure a few others. The kids were able to feed them carrots. The poor little kids found out the hard way that they had to hold their cups up! The goats would jump up on them and take their whole cup of carrots!

On Sunday we went to "Naggon" as Addaly calls it. Every time the commercial comes on for Lagoon she says " we want to go there huh?!" Since the boys were all out of town and Aubrey got us discount tickets it was the perfect time to go! She pretty much loved all of the rides, except the tilt o whirl. She said that one made her "bizzy"! She had a blast running riding the rides and running around with all of the kids!

Thanks to our fabulous friends. This weekend was a blast!
