Weekly Update!

Hello! 


Ava is still sick.. poor girl.. :( we have started putting Rice cereal in her bottles to see if that helps with one of the issues but now on top of what was going on before she's got a cold and her little nose keeps getting stuffy :(
She's getting used to a new schedual, she's asleep by 8pm every night because she gets up  at 4 am with me for work. but that's ok as soon as we get to grandma's house she goes back to sleep until 9am. It's nice working from home and being able to have her with me!


My mom had her back surgery on monday, everything went well she is still in the hospital we hope she will be getting transfered to a Rehab place soon. She's upset about this because she will miss Christmas and miss Ava opening her gifts, but I assured her we would bring Christmas to her and bring Ava's presents so she can see her open them!


I Will try to post again this week, if I don't make it (working from 430 am til 530 pm is taking a toll on me!)
Merry Christmas!! :)

Ava's First Cold

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well! It's been a crazy week here! Ava has her first Virus :(  We took her to the dr and she wasn't dehydrated so that was good.. but in 3 weeks she's grown 2 1/2 inches!! she is now 24 1/2 inches long and 11.9 lbs. big girl! :) she seems to be getting a little bit better, still cranky and fighting taking naps during the day so the days have been very long..

Our water heater is leaking and today we had to move all of Ava's furniture away from the wall because the carpet in her room is wet .. that's great... we are waiting to hear back from the home warenty people. Who knows how long that will take!!

Weekly Update!

  Hello Everyone!  I hope that you have all enjoyed your weekend, and enjoy the hours that are left of it! 

Lets see what's new in our area.. well we are back up in the 70's for the temps, last week it was in the upper 50's so it's quite a temp change.. I'll gladly take the 50's back again! 

  Seems as though Ava might be teething already!  I can't believe it, you can see a little white nub on her bottom gum, I am in no way ready for my baby to start teething! She's been sleeping ALOT the last few days we figure another growing spurt! We started putting her in her play pen in her bedroom last Monday, as she's been sleeping in our room since she came home. she made it all week, and on Friday I even put her in her Crib to sleep for the night, that went well so the play pen was moved out of her room! She's such a big girl now!

  I left her today for ONE HOUR and 18 MINUTES! The longest I've EVER left her.. She got some bonding time with her Daddy while they watched Football. :) Baby steps!

  What else? Oh there is a new addition to the family.  An 8 year old Maltese. I came home from shopping the other day to find this little white dog in my front yard, I opened the door and she tired to jump in to my car!

I looked for tags but she had no collar on :( she had on baby clothes  and she was so scruffy and matted that it took me 3 hours to get her hair cut. she still looks  weird but at least she is knot free! We searched the neighborhood for her home, I've looked at websites on line seeing if people posted that they lost her and have found nothing. She gets along with our other dogs so we figured we'd give her a try in our house. So far she's fit right in.. she's the same age/size of moose they are becoming friends. I decided to name her Chrissy .. (short for Christmas) I wanted a Christmas-y name for her since its' that time of year..

  Well I think that is all for now.. I'll post back sometime this week!

Have a great week everyone!

Chrissy a few minutes after I found her..
