Mom's surgery and Addison 9 & 10 week highlights

God has been throwing us many curve balls this off season. Between Addison's miracle heart, Adam's work lockout, building a house, trying to sell a house, raising 2 kiddos under the age of 2, and then me having to get my gall bladder taken out, there's truly never a dull moment in our lives. Yesterday I had to go in for surgery to get my gall bladder taken out, since it's not working and causing me a lot of pain. They say it's very common in women who just had babies to have gall bladder issues and have it removed. The surgery went well, however recovery was a little rocky. I was very nauseated for hours afterwards, but after hours of sleep I finally started to feel somewhat normal. The gas inside is uncomfortable, but am doing really well after having surgery not even 24 hrs ago. Thankfully my parents took the Tike until things calm down a bit. Addison turned 11 weeks on Monday and continues to light up our lives. Here's a quick update on our little princess!

Addison 9 & 10 week highlights:
-Stayed with 5 different babysitters when M & D had to go to the hospital because Mommy was having stomach issues.
-Moved to the 4 hr schedule! We tried to move her to it last week, but she clearly wasn't ready. So we waited a couple days and just like that she told us she was ready (not a good day of naps and eating). We said we'd try it again and just like that she changed her eating and napping schedule, followed by her best nights sleep!
-Addison sleeps from a little after 8 till 6-7 and then with a quick bounce and rock she's back to sleep until 7:45 when she eats breakfast.
-Spent some good quality time with M & D lately. Big brother is at Gma & Gpa Mc until Mommy gets better, so she's been getting spoiled with all the attention.
-Loves being outside!
-Spent a Saturday afternoon with the Brusches on the lake. Rhonda finally got to spend some time with me and I just enjoyed chilling/napping in the shade right by the lake.
-Goes about anywhere and everywhere with M & D.
-Turns her head to voices and follows people really well.
-Gives the biggest and cutest gummy smiles:)
-Wears size 1 diapers.
-Wears 0-3 months outfits.
-Eats an average of 5-7 oz.
-Is turning into our little noise machine. She makes the cutest little noises.
-Loves to stair at the ceiling fan and lights.
-Is beginning to really laugh and is such a happy baby:)
-Has so much hair! Everybody always comments on how much hair she has. Its now grown over her ears and her bangs are almost in her eyes.
-Is a wiggle worm. Always moving her arms and legs.
