I remember the night we found out we were expecting! Matt was playing his xbox and I had gone on a walk with some neighbors of mine while we were in Japan. It was a beautiful night out and while on our walk we were talking about kids and what not. It dawned on me that I was late LOL and they both look at me and was like I'd take a test when we get home. Sooo I drove to the shoppett and got home and well took the test and I couldn't believe what I held in my hand....Pregnant! WOW I am having a baby!!! MATT MATT and he knew and with out even taking our time and waiting we were calling family and a few friends in Japan! 9 LONG months passed by and she was born on my due date May 25, 2008 at 11:02 pm weight 6 lbs 11.2 ounces and 19.5 inches long. The day she was born didn't go any way that I had expected but was I ever so blessed that Matt never left my side! Both of our mom's flew over to see her too. They were only there for 2 weeks and the first week both of myself and Maddison were in the hospital but they didn't care! As long as they could see her they were fine. 4 years later and she is just a vibrant, independent, outgoing, fun, loving, energetic, happy, outspoken, FULL of attitude 4 year old! I love her so much and so honored and blessed to be her mommy! She is growing up so fast! Next fall she will be in kindergarten!!!! Shew, not sure I am ready for that! She loves her daddy to the moon and beyond! She can't wait for him to get home and is always the first to get to him which I don't mind. I love to see her love him!!! She is just so awesome!
Mollybug is doing what all 8 month olds do!!! She is into EVERYTHING! Such a fast crawler! She also stands up on her own now and has taken a few steps! She doesn't like to hear the word No, she beats up on Maddion even bit her toe the other day which was sooo funny!!! She has 6 teeth all the way through her gums and two more on the way! She loves, LOVES, loves Maddison. Loves to play in her room which most of the time Maddison doesn't mind! I love seeing them together! She also LOVES her daddy!!! She makes all the noises she can, her two new words are Dadda and Baba for her bottle! She loves the park which makes it so easy to go there! Maddison does her thing and Molly swings and here lately she likes the slides! She is just so awesome!
I was doing great until June 7. I woke up in the middle of the night at 1 am or a little later with the worst abdominal pain I have ever felt in my life. I went to the restroom thinking it would get better after I peed however it continually got worse and worse FAST! I followed the base protocol and then the vomiting began and I couldn't get to the ER fast enough. Poor Matthew kick into super dad mode (which is one thing I LOVE about my man! He really steps up in time of need) he had the girls up, dressed, diaper bag packed, and himself all together while I was trying to get myself to the car! I love my husband so flipping much! That man hung the moon! As soon as I got there I began puking in the er waiting room (go figure) and they got me back there kinda fast! Gave me meds for nausea and the pain I was in. Blood work, urine test, ultrasound (not the fun one either), and a CT later I was diagnosed with a really bad case of appendicitis and it was coming out NOW! Matt got the girls to a friend of ours which I am forever grateful for at 6 am that took both the girls while Matt was with me at the hospital. After surgery I was not in the best mood, anaesthesia does horrible things to me! It takes a while to wear off before I feel "normal" again. I couldn't eat and all I wanted what my pain button. I hurt so bad. I have also found out that morphine gives me really dry mouth. I couldn't drink enough water! Which then in turn made me have to get up and go to the restroom ALL THE TIME! I ended up with one long incision on my right side, I had an open appendectomy which has a longer recovery time than having it done laparoscopic. I was discharged the next day in the worst pain ever and well Matt ended up having to take the whole next week off. I was not allowed to pick up Maddison, Molly, or anything heavier than a gallon of milk, no sex, no running around, all kinds of restrictions. I slept in our lazyboy for a few nights. I couldn't stretch out. It was horrible. It's now been two weeks to the day that I had my surgery and I was doing great until my follow up yesterday. I hadn't taken any pain meds yesterday wasn't having any pain or soreness and then he pushed around and done all he had to do to make sure I was healing properly and well I have been hurting again ever since! I still have pain and I hurt almost all day. I'm allowed to pick up the girls but nothing heavier. No running yet. I'm just so over it! I can't stretch out without it feeling like I just had it removed! I am healing though and healing well so I shouldn't and won't complain. I am blessed it was caught right before it ruptured. I was with hours of that happening that is how huge and swollen it was. Matt is amazing and still taking great care of me and helping me out so much with the girls!

Matt is doing great and as usual busy with work. He will be leaving us in August for his first two tech schools and then after that will be finding out about his last school will be. I am planning on flying out to Texas in between his first two (he has a week off) so we can celebrate Molly's first bday a few weeks early with him. Plus I know Maddison is going to be so heartbroken when he leaves! She has a daddy doll and I will be getting Molly one as well! Matt is truly a blessing to me. I am ever so reminded when situations happen like my appendix. He really just takes it all on and does it amazingly. He loves me and has seen me at my absolute worst and at my best. He loves me no matter what and I am so thankful for him. While I was stuck in the lazyboy he was up with the girls taking care of me and them. He just flowed! I know the girls enjoyed their extra time with him!
The pugs are well...being pugs!

And that is how we have been! I plan to work better at updating these better. I do have a crazy life that keeps me busy and on my toes! I'd have it no other way though! I hope everyone else is doing great and creating your own life memories!!!!
