Rain, PAIN, go away!

Well I was starting to feel better but have had a set back. My leg pain has really intensified. I went 2 nights with no sleep. There is no relief. I can't stand, sit or lay anymore. It is the worst pain I have ever felt (broken leg, birth, etc). Easter was awful. I just get so tired and have so much pain that I become completely insane. On Easter we had to go the Med Express clinic (2nd holiday in a row). I now am on a steroid and was given some vicodin. Not sure how I feel about the vicodin but I am desperate. It helped me sleep a little on Sunday night but not as much as I hoped. :( I feel bad that I can't give my kids the attention they need.

Easter 2011

Warning lots of Easter pics!!

For Easter we went to an Easter Egg hunt at my friends house. Hayden had fun getting eggs but was more into looking at their toys. At one point I couldn't find him and he was alone in their garage checking out the dads tools (he is a carpenter). That was a little scary!

Hayden loved dying eggs. It was fun to do for the first time with our family.

"Baby Lucy" came to visit. Hayden was really excited for that. He is pretty nice to her so far. He is a little too loud for her liking though.

We had dinner at Mom's house. I had really bad pains and cancelled visiting other family. I couldn't sit long enough to make the drive. Mom only lives a few minutes away thankfully. Hayden and Amelia were spoiled with great baskets (buckets). Amelia slept most of the time and then blessed us by sleeping over 7 hours that night. I took a vicodin so I slept pretty good. And Amelia took a bottle from Mike in the middle of the night (which hayden would never do).

We hope everyone had a happy easter.

Happy Easter

Amelia is ready for Easter...

Siblings

My cute little ones. Hayden loves his "Mia" right now. He showers her with kisses. She loves him too. If he talks she turns her head to him. She doesn't really do that with anyone else. Hayden loves to lay next to her and say Hi Mia over and over.

Week 3

Amelia is giving the finger to you! (J/K)

We enjoyed the nice weather we had for a few days and played outside. We went to Renee's all week since my pain was pretty bad. The boy Renee watches likes Amelia. Hayden tired himself out and dirtied himself up as you can see in these pics.

Amelia got to meet great grandma.

Amelia is getting bigger, newborn pj's are getting too small. She holds her head up really good. She is making cute noises at us (esp Hayden).

Hayden is into Amelia this week. He gives her kisses all of the time. He gets sad when she is asleep and will go in to get her and say "baby done". He is sad when she throws up.

Let's go Pens!

Let's go pens!

Thankful

Since I have been in so much pain i realize that I am very thankful to have a content baby that enjoys to sleep. I am also thankful to have family nearby to help. My mom has watched Hayden while i go to dr appts. And my sister lets me come over every day so Hayden can play and I can spend most of my time laying flat on my back icing it. She also watches him while I go to the chiropractor. So far I am still in a lot of pain...which I am NOT thankful for!

3 weeks

I am using this blog to keep journaling for Amelia's scrapbook since I am sure I won't have time to work on in the near future. I don't want her to see Hayden's book one day and be sad that her book isn't as good.

Amelia...
Had her first bath. She enjoyed it.
Wakes up 2-3x a night but goes back to sleep
Slept over 6 hours the other night!
starting to smile
throws up much more then hayden did
likes her changing table just like hayden did. Its weird.
Took a bottle from me
has goopy eyes


Hayden...
took a nap on Monday at the SAME time as Amelia. He rarely naps. It was nice.
I have been teaching him songs since I am home with him. It is cute to hear him sing twinkle twinkle.
Calls Amelia "that baby" a lot. If she burps he will say "that baby burped" or what is that baby doing
Calling me Mama?
Spending some time in time out
Loves catching stink bugs (buggies) and throwing them outside
likes to swing Amelia too hard in her swing

As for me... I have sciatica and piriformis syndrome. It is awful. I can't sit at all. I have pain in my butt area and all the way down my leg. My foot is numb. I can't sleep. Amelia slept 6 hours and I couldn't even enjoy it.
