More Teeth For Addy

the last few weeks

This month has been really bad for our family health wise.  Teeth are great, but my baby had a hard time getting these babies in.  She had a fever of 102 for a few days, because she had an ear infection along with a yeast diaper rash, and to top it off hand, mouth, and foot virus.  Because of her sickness we have lost a ton of sleep.  She cried all night for 3 nights and since a week ago she just hasn't slept longer then 2 hours without waking up.  I hope she sleeps better soon...such a pain.

She passed the hand, foot and mouth virus on to me and I have been compromised since my surgery so I have also had a fever the last few days of 102, along with some canker sores on my tongue. I am on anti-biotics from surgery so along with ibuprofen I have been able to keep my fevers mostly away.  I have broken 3 in the last 24 hours.  :(

Because of her hand, mouth, and foot virus, Addyson wouldn't eat.  She had two large sores on the tip of her tongue and she would SCREAM anytime you would try and feed her.  She was hungry but she had to be forced to eat, that is hold the bottle in her mouth till she stopped fighting it....
Needless to say this past two weeks have been the hardest yet as a mother.  I have been sick countless times, my kids need me, and I can't do much to help them.....err.

Addy 9 MONTHS

She is so cute with her 6 little teeth.  She crawls around with the cutest most unique crawl ever.  One leg, one knee.
She loves real food, and will throw a fit if I give her a bottle when she really wants food. Everything ends up in her mouth, which wasn't true for Drake, he never put things in his mouth no joke.  So, when you see her chewing on something I always check to make sure it isn't a marble or something.
She eats better and more then her brother does right now.
Crackers, especially gram crackers are her favorite, but she likes the chicken crackers a lot too.

At her check up she didn't have to have any immunizations, few, I hate those side effects.

She now weights 17 pounds 2 ounces 10th percentile, she is 20.25 inches tall 5th percentile, her hat size is 18 inches 90th percentile.

So she is small for her weight and height, but she has always been.  But her head is big as usual :) here are picture through the month, an at the end a shoot I did.

yumm GRASS

She has had a few hard days because she has an ear infection, hand foot and mouth, and a yeast rash...feel bad for this little girl.

see her big nasty sore, she hardly eats just cries.  We have to force a bottle in her mouth :(

My 23rd Birthday.

Kade surprised me with lunch....Ike's pizza on my birthday.  YUM

The Bingham's do scavanger hunts to find your presents....they have never done it for me before.  It was super fun.

Shyla and I looking for presents

Found one under the couch!

Found them all.

I got some sweet stuff... a sweet camera, twin size soft blanket/throw, an essential oil diffuser (thanks Shy), the hunger games, the avengers, some cash, a NICE set of  heavy duty fabric scissors, some lotion, some hair clips, and a BUNCH of candy.  Too bad I am cutting back, trying too.  I have more chocolate then I know what to do with.

Cute girls and drake to the side :D

I felt really good on my birthday, it was a fun day.  I do feel like I am getting old though...nobody likes you when your twenty-three. 

An exciting WEEKEND

Did I ever say I got into essential oils?  My sister-in-law and I joined doTERRA and we are starting to use essential oils in our everyday life, so far I love them.  So, every year doTERRA has a yearly new product release and big conference.  Well Shyla signed us up, and I was excited to have a weekend getaway.  I have not left Idaho since my honeymoon, I was excited to get away.  So, I got all my homework done and the kids were arranged and I had no stress about how the weekend would go.  All I can say now is that if things had not been all worked out like this, I would have had consequences when it came to school, and I would be severely behind.

So, the plan was to leave early Thursday morning and we would come back late saturated night, we even thought about staying until Sunday night.  As soon as Shyla drove into Utah I had a stomach ache.  I didn't tell her because I didn't want to ruin our fun.  We got to the conference center (the salt palace) and I was miserable sitting in pain for a few hours.  After a while I decided to go outside in the fresh air to see if that helped.  There were a lot of essential oils being defused in the air and I thought that maybe outside would help.

I got outside and laied on a bench and after about 20 minutes my stomach stopped hurting and I was good.  We enjoyed the rest of the night and I had a fun time at the Gala, were we ate, dressed up, met fun people, and threw confetti.

We went to bed around 11 which is really early for me, around 2 I woke up with more stomach pain, it wasn't to bad, but bad enough I couldn't sleep.  I got in the bath thinking that it would settle the pain and I could go back to bed.  The pain got increasingly worse, so I got dressed and I didn't want to wake Shyla so I went in the hall to call Kade.  I was so bummed because I thought I was sick and didn't want to be sick the weekend i was out of town.

Shyla came out to the hall after a while because I must have woken her.  She was worried because my pain was in my right side, and she had her appendix out and thought that was what it was.  After a while of her trying to get me to go to the er, I finally got a hold of Kade.  HE was so tired, he told me I needed to check my corroborator and maybe ask someone else about my car problems???? I started laughing and it was so painful that I knew it wasn't a stomach ache.  Well the dumbest part is that I am the only person without health insurance in my family, so I really didn't want to go in.

Well we went to the LDS hospital and after a few scans it was confirmed that i needed my appendix out.  I was put on morphine and don't remember much after that.  It was still a long wait, they finally fit me in after 8 hours of waiting in the ER.  As soon as Kade woke up that morning for work he drove down to Salt Lake because he realized I called him because I was sick, not for mechanic advise. :D Some lady's that we know came and did foot zoning on me before i went into surgery and I believed that helped me, because the Dr said I bled less then a teaspoon, which was pretty much AWEsOMe.  Things went smoothly, my appendix was unhealthy and had probably been giving me problems for a while.  The surgeon also said that my appendix was retro, which I believe means it is pushed up behind my intestine unlike most other peoples, so I wasn't experiencing much pain, so where most people have a ton of pain I had stomach aches.

My best friend came and visited me in the hospital, it was sooo good to see her.  I really missed her.

After a night in the hospital I got to travel a long four hours in the car.

Yesterday I went back to an ER because I had a fever of 103.6 so after another long wait in the ER I got some antibiotics and feel a world of difference today.  That was my exciting weekend, and now I still can't take care of my kids because I can't physically handle it...hopefully that will change.

I am so grateful to my heavenly father, because without him things wouldn't have worked out so well.  I know that things happened at the right place, at the right time. Without him putting people in my path I would never have gone into the hospital until possibly an appendix rupture, which would have been a lot more damaging.  I know things have been taken care of at home because of my husband and his love for me.  I am very  blessed and I know it.

My kids look so much alike.

My whole world...my husband is in the background :D 

Drake 21 months 1 year 9 months

He is getting so old.  I can't believe how his cute smile can make me smile no matter what...he is so adorable.  He has a great little personality and he is talks and talks.

He really loves his grandpa Bingham.  Whenever we go over he follows him around like a  little duckling.  He is always saying, papa outside..gogo?  He says gogo when he wants to ride the four wheeler.  He can now sing the whole go Diego go song, and he can sing row, row, row your boat.  Both of my kids really love music, they dance and sing along.

He always brings me his shoes and says shoe, that means he wants to go outside.  Actually he prefers to be outside.

He says nummy, for food and cookie for any kind of sweet (because of sesame street).

He is quite the climber, he is up on the desk in this picture.  He saw chocolate (his favorite), and climbed right up where he could reach.

He really loves all sorts of big machines, tractors, cars, anything with a motor (like his dad)

Labor DAY 2012

This labor day was a little bit eventful. We had some fun :D

Saturday before Oakley got baptized and so we got to see a lot of family on the Kunz side, that was fun.

Then Richard was ordained a priest on Sunday, so we got to see more Kunz family, we stayed the night from Sunday to Monday at my moms house.  Kade got Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off of work and it was super fun getting to hang with him so much.

Then on Monday, we went boating with Wray and Annie's family.

My mom made me a cover up for my swim suit. 

Drake and grandpa on Bella

Later that day my brother broke his wrist on Bella...sorry Ean, Hope you get feeling better.
