Over the weekend (16th and 17th) we went on our Annual trip to Branson, meeting up with Shane's family. Shane took Friday off so we decided to head up early. After a bit of shopping in Springfield, we ate lunch at Chuck E Cheeses. It was awesome because we went early enough that the restaurant was not busy. Addison had a BLAST! We were most surprised because Addie liked watching the animatronics on stage. I figured she would be scared of them. Her other favorite was the racing arcade games. Once we would sit her at one of the racing games, she didn't want to move! I think Addison had an amazing time, but mommy and daddy had a pretty good time too ;)
Branson was a good time as always. Addison's favorite was probably the lights parade at Silver Dollar City. During the parade, Addie kept waving and blowing kisses at all of the participants. I wish we would have taken pictures! I'm hoping that Shane's family took a few. If we get a hold of some, we will definitely post them.
Addie's Weekly Milestones:
Shaking head "no" then "yes": It's pretty funny but Addie will answer many times by shaking her head "no" and then immediately follow up with shaking her head "yes". I'm not sure where she picked this up from, but it's both confusing and cute all at the same time!! LOL
Fish lover: Any time we go into Petco, Addison wants to go over and look at the fish. She could spend hours walking from tank to tank saying "ooohhhh, fish!". The bad part is that she never wants to leave and will usually throw a bit of a fit when we try to pull her away.
Ear Infection #3 :( Starting Sunday evening (upon coming home from Branson) Addie had been pretty constipated (sorry if TMI). Wednesday, I decided to give Addison some PediaLax before bed. Only an hour within putting her down for bed, she became really restless. By 10pm, Addie was crying and Shane and I could tell something was REALLY wrong. We figured that her belly was probably hurting from the constipation, so we decided to sit up with her for a while. Eventually, Shane had to go to bed to get rest for work in the morning. Luckily, Nana was staying with us so I had another hand to help out. We noticed that Addison began pulling at her ears started to become pretty hysterical. The only way I could get her to fall asleep was by holding her upright in my lap and gently bouncing her and even then, she would pop up at times and begin throwing herself around crying. I called the E.R. to find out what to do. The nurse on the phone suggested alternating Ibuprofin and Acetaminophen. By 3am, we were FINALLY able to get Addison to fall asleep. In the morning we made our way to the doctor where we found out that the issue was, in fact, ANOTHER ear infection :( The doctor said that since this is Addison's third ear infection in 4 months, we need to start keeping a close eye on things to determine if tubes will be necessary.
Baby #2 Update:
Mommy Checkup: As usual, the appointment was short and sweet. Everything is looking good (per the Doctor).
Sleepy: During my first pregnancy, I was most tired in the first and beginning of the second trimester. I really didn't experience the exhaustion this time around.... until now, that is. It seems like within the last week or so, I've been very sleepy around the clock. The worse part is, that I've been putting a lot of tasks off thinking I've got plenty of time to take care of them. Now that I'm loosing my motivation from been too tired, I'm not so sure all of the tasks will be completed!! ha ha
