Recovering & waiting...

Kylie had her tonsils out yesterday. She did better than I expected before & after. She's feeling better than I thought she would but I know that it can change any day for the next 2 weeks. She keeps getting upset that she can't eat cereal. The Tylenol with Codeine made her crazy. She was seriously bouncing off the furniture, which she is not supposed to be doing. So they changed her pain meds to Loratab which seems to be doing much better.

Curtis took her to Wal-Mart, the gas station & the car wash at 9pm to wait on the crazy Codeine to wear off. When they got home, I asked her to take her sandals off. She managed to get one off, came running into our bedroom, pulled the baby tub out, started to take her clothes off, I told her to simmer down, so she ran over to my nightstand to write on my to-do list..... all of this was within 5 seconds. She just could NOT focus or listen with that medicine. It was funny & sad at the same time. She was nuts. But...I was thinking as I went to sleep last night *maybe I should try some & see how fast I can get the house clean!* Of course, my luck, I would just fall dead asleep.

I'm waiting on her next fever. I've read so many stories about the fevers never returning after having the tonsils removed BUT I've read some stories about the fevers never stopping regardless. So, it's a waiting game for me. I'm sure it will be for a few months. I'm won't know what do to with myself if she becomes fever-free. I really hope, for her sake, that the fevers are over.

In the meantime, here's what Conner's been up to

Spending time with family

We've spent the past few days with family. Lots of pictures to share, so I'm going to post a link below. Conner & Kylie got to meet Braden! Conner really wanted to grab his nose & Kylie just wanted to man handle him :) But Braden did survive, I think. Kylie loved the attention from Grandma & did not want her to leave.

I'm trying to prepare for Kylie's surgery. Mostly mentally! I feel like I have a million errands to run & that's almost impossible with 2 little ones. I'm not sure who discussed her tonsillectomy with her but last night at bedtime she was freaking out & saying it was bad to get your tonsils out. I talked to her about it today & she seems okay. I know she's going to freak out when we get to the surgery center & I know she's going to be nuts when she wakes up from surgery. I just hope everything goes as smooth as possible.

Smart Little Man :)

I'm a little worried about Conner becoming obsessed with a lovely & having to take it everywhere & then having a meltdown when it gets lost. So, he's got 2 little lovely things he sleeps with but this mean mommy makes him leave them in his bed! He usually tries to grab one when I pick him up so I started telling him we need to put it back in the bed & I'd grab it & drop it in the bed. After a few times, he learned how to turn & drop it back in by himself!

If he has a pacifier, I let him keep it. That will be a whole other battle in the future! But this morning I got him out of bed & was kissing on him. He took the paci out of his mouth & turned around & dropped it in the bed!

Genius?!

Love this face!

Fun, productive day at home

It's interesting trying to accomplish things around the house with 2 little running around. But I've managed to organize our closet & make some room on the book shelf in the office for some of Kylie's things. I'm also trying to post maternity clothes on eBay to make some money for all the lovely medical bills!

Kylie ate tons of green beans & corn at lunch. Even though she asked for Mac n Cheese. Conner loved the few noodles I let him eat!

Then Kylie let me lower the play kitchen so Conner can reach it. (He kept falling trying to play with everything)

Hoping to get to the park after naps so Kylie can run around.

And, um, she wants Grandma here NOW. Not in 4 days. TODAY!
