Take Me Out To The Ball Game...

We took Lily to her first Bee's game.  She really loved it, had not one fit, and chilled on a blanket in the grass all night.

I'm Alive!!

I made it.  Just barely.  Let me tell you, recovering from a tonsillectomy is not the most fun thing you could spend your summer doing.  One word describes it...misery.  Worse than recovering from having a baby, by far.  Almost worse than pushing for 3 hours while your epidural is wearing off too.  It was 9 days of no talking, no eating, being too afraid to swallow your own spit, sure you're going to cough and then who knows what would happen.  And they tell you the more you eat and swallow the better you'll feel.  HA!  I bet most of those ENT's still have their tonsils, or got them out when they were kids so it wasn't half bad.  However, Saturday morning, I woke up-no pain, just a little weird feeling, but no pain.  It's getting better every day  now.  Still feeling swollen, and I still talk funny.  My sister-in-law thought I was playing a joke on her when we were talking on the phone! 

 The one good that has come out of it- losing 9 pounds in 9 days.  Talk about an easy way to get rid of the rest of the pregnancy weight.  But take my word for it, I would have rather been up walking every morning instead of sitting in my house in agony.  

So, I'm mostly back to normal now.  Sorry I don't have any new pictures to show of Lily, I missed the 4th of July, her 4 month birthday, first rice cereal....what a good Mommy am I!

I just had to post this picture, I think it's so darling.

More Surgery for Me!

So, I finally went to the doctor today.  For those of you who don't know, I have chronic cryptic tonsillitis, which I wouldn't recommend looking up online.  It's not so glamorous.  Since I've quit my job and Buz is self employed, we have been having the fun time of obtaining private health insurance.  It's not really so fun.  Buz and Lily were picked up no problem, but I was denied.  All because of my stupid tonsils.  So, Friday I am going under the knife, yet again, to get my tonsils out.  It doesn't sound too bad, the surgery only takes 10-15 minutes, recovery is 10 days.  But from what I've heard, it's a hellish 10 days.  Like, the most horrendous sore throat you can imagine.  Yipee!  I don't think anyone should have to have surgery twice in 4 months.  And yes, Friday is the 27th, and Lily was born February 28th, so it is within 4 months.  If anyone is bored and wants to come eat ice cream with me over the next 2 weeks, let me know!  Also, if anyone wants to sub a primary class...!!!

p.s. If you could keep me in your prayers too, I am a little nervous.

Lily's New Trick

That's right, she can roll over!  She's really been able to do it since she was 10 weeks old and can roll in both directions! (We have video to prove it, even though my Mom doesn't believe the video is real--go figure!).  She's gotten so fast at rolling that tummy time doesn't last very long.  I can't believe how big she's already gotten!

Don't you just love a baby in a onesie?  I guess my baby is a rag muffin all the time, because yes, she did wear just this onesie to bed last night, after wearing it all day yesterday.  She's been in it all day today, and I am about to put her to bed in it again!  Does anyone else do this?  I always pictured myself being a mom who got ready every day, dressed her little girl up everyday...yeah right, like that happened.  Reality is, it's more chill to just hang out in our jammies and comfy clothes all day.  But don't worry, I still shower!

Happy Anniversary!

I just wanted to let Buz know that I love him so much and the past three years have been an absolute blast!  He's the best husband I could imagine.

For our anniversary, he got "us" an iMac.  Since Buz is going to be starting the Master's program in the fall, and more so going to school full time, he is going to have the lap top all the time.  So, now I have a computer at home.  This is why my posts are so weird.  I'm still trying to get used to the Mac functions rather than the regular PC.  I can't figure out how to rotate my wedding pictures I wanted to post, so we'll have to do without!  Please bare with me.

One of my friends had this tag on her blog; I thought it was a fun idea. Google your answers, and post the first relevant picture that comes up.
