We are home!!

We are home and pretty much everything went GREAT!!! We had to be there by 830am. She was schduled to be the first one. But the dr had an emergency surgery to do this morning so he didnt end up getting there until 1030..which was a little frustrating bc they had taken us back to pre-op right away then we had to sit back there in the room until 1030 and towards the end she was getting pretty cranky bc she was hungry bc she couldnt have anything to eat or drink after midnight the night before. But they took her back at 1100 and they were done at 1130. She only had to get poked twice trying to find a vein for her IV. I was relieved about that bc they had told me that it might be a problem finding a good vein. The recovery was a bit tricky..While she was coming out of it she did not want anything on her...so she ripped the cord off of her foot that monitors her heart then she tried to rip her IV out of her hand. But when i grabbed her hand she used her mouth and tried to rip it off..Ouch!!! The dr said that there was ALOT of fluid in her ears..he couldnt believe how much..but he got it all cleaned out..He said dont be surpirsed if she startles at loud movement..bc everything was probably muted with that much fluid in there..also know when she gets ear infections we try to treat them at home for a couple of days with the ear drops that he prescribed and if they dont get cleared up then we go in and he will blow the fluid out with the little microscopic tool..Interesting..huh?? I thought so..But we are home know and she has some pain medicine in her and she is doing great..She will probably just need to be on pain medicine today..she is on an antiboitic so she doesnt get an infection with her adnoids..bc sometimes they get infections when they take them out so they did it as a precautionary.. well hopefully this will make her feel better.

We have a date

The ENT dr called me today...We have a date set up for Avery's tubes..Next Tuesday March 10th. Im not sure about the time..They kind of have quite the process that i have to go through i guess..First i had to wait for the appointment desk to call and set up an appointment..Which i am glad that we could get in on the 10th otherwise we would of had to wait until April..Then i have to wait for another surgery desk to call and set up a time..Then I have to go into the dr office on the 9th to do all the paperwork.. I think they just like to make alot fo work for themselves or me..But they did tell me that it would be in the morning..And since she is two that she will probably be one of the first ones..that is great and bad..that means we have to be there early, early for seduction. They go by the children's ages as to who goes first and where..I guess that's it for now..

Sickness won't leave our house

Well I came home yesterday to my hubby "on his death bed" as he put it..lol:) He always claims that though when ever he is sick..But the stomach bug has hit our house..im not sure how we are always sick..but im kind of SICk of always having sickness here..I am praying that i dont get it..bc Jared said that it's awful..i think it is a quick moving virus though and only lasts 24hrs. But then after I got home from getting brielle she started running a fever and ran one all night and complained of her stomach hurting but she hasnt pucked yet and this morning she just complained her tummy hurt but no fever..so maybe she didnt get that part..
As far as I have been feeling well I have had alot of experience with morning sickness all day..for awhile now..im kind of sick of being sick.i have never had morning sickness like this with my other ones..I think with Destiny i got it only once on my way to watertwon i remember having to pull over so i could throw up..but i think that was about it..but i am praying that i get over this quickly bc it is relaly hard to take care of my family being sick...especially when they are sick too..maybe this is my sign that its a BOY:P We are all hoping!!
