Such a Big Girl!...and some Garrett!

So I realized it has been forever since I've updated about Madison. She is getting so big and it's going by crazy fast. So here are a few random pictures of her in the last month or so.

Look how big she is! And those chunky monkey legs are so cute...I could just eat them!









This was Madison when she got home from the hospital and now. You can tell how much she has grown. It's amazing to me.




Here's a somewhat smiley picture, I can't seem to capture her with a smile, if I do it doesn't look like a smile really anyway. But look at that hair! It's all staticy from the couch, but her hair is always a mess like that.




And here are some sleeping pictures. I wish I could sleep anywhere like she can. No matter what noise or position if she is tired enough she can fall asleep, how nice.

My dad put his cowboy boots on Garrett and he was walking around in them, it was so cute...Beth is adorable too!


Garrett thinks it's funny to get in Madison's carseat and rock back and forth.


And here are Garrett and Madison together. She kept kicking Garrett and he would get bugged and push her feet, it was so funny. Oh what cute kids! Love them!

My Interesting Day

So today was quite an interesting day for me. Early this morning I woke up with some sharp pains in my lower abdomen. I kind of just wrote it off and went back to sleep (I was able to sleep just fine). So I woke up around 7:00 with Madison, worked out, watched some tv and realized that the pain was getting a little worse. At first I thought it was a bladder infection or something like that. So I went to the store and got a test for it, but the test was negative so I had no idea what was going on. Then all of a sudden the pain struck me like I was stabbed by a knife. Honestly it was the worst pain that I had been in in my entire life. Even worse that anything to do with labor. It was horrible. I called Alan and told him that I was in some pain and what did he think I should do. He was like well call the doctor. This was probably about 11:30. I had a doctors appointment for Madison at 2:30 so I was like well I will just wait until then. But there was no way that I could wait. I thought it was painful then, but it just kept getting worse. I didn't know that one person could feel that much pain and still be alive. I know that sounds dramatic, but it was so bad. So I tried to call the doctor, but because it was lunch time no one would pick up the phone I just kept getting voicemail after voicemail. By this point I was screaming in pain. I was so blessed that Madison just sat there in her carseat. I don't know what I would have done if she had started crying, there would be no way that I could have taken care of her, and that scares me. Anyway, so after not being able to get through to the doctor I called Alan back and said, through tears, I really need you to come home. He came home (it felt like a lifetime waiting for him) and I had made it upstairs and was ready to go to the ER. (Again, the drive to the ER felt like a lifetime.) No position, nothing eased this pain. I just screamed and cried all the way, and apparently I told Alan that I loved him because I thought I was dying. (I don't remember that part.) We got to the ER, and all I wanted to do was lay down, but they wouldn't let me. When we finally got registered they finally let me lay down. But the pain just continued. Finally after a little while of laying down the pain magically disappeared. What the heck!?!?!?! But the sharp pain that I was having early in the morning was still there. Anyway, they did an ultrasound and found out that I have a kidney stone and a Urinary Tract Infection. So they gave me some pain meds and antibiotics and I was on my way. So now I just have to wait for this thing to pass and be prepared for a lot more pain. Hopefully the pain meds will help with the pain the next time and the antibiotics will help the sharp pain that doesn't go away. Anyway, so that was my crazy day. I have never experienced anything like that ever in my entire life, so it was quite an adventure. And the one thing that keeps me going...

My beautiful girl. She had to get shots today, sad day.
