{Addy's Surgery}

My middle baby Addalyne has had issues with her ears since she was 5 months old! So we found ourselves at CHKD again for another surgery. Her CT scan showed she had infection in the mastoid area of the middle ear. Thankfully it didnt spread to any bones and was easily treated. Dr. Darrow Took her old tube out, cleaned her middle ear out really good and gave her a new tube. He also removed more of her adenoids. She was a trooper for the whole ordeal! So to all of you parents out there who seem to live at a dr's office I am right there with you!

I heart Faces Photo Challenge: Paper

This one was easy for me! This is my reaction when hearing my brand new daughter cry for the first time... so many things going through my head before that moment.. then suddenly the silence breaks with a brand new voice....a new soul has entered into the world.. It instantly brings tears to your eyes to know that after nine months your little one for whom you faught so hard to get here... is safe.

Baby Hope!

Some of you may know..others may not.. our little Hope Everhart was born October 25th 2010 at 8:32 am at Obici hospital in suffolk Va. She was 7 lbs 11 oz 19 inches long. Because she was breeched I had her by c-section. All went well.. and a week has passed and no emergency surgery this time PHEWW! (I had a emergency apendectomy a week after addy was born!) Little "Hopes" is doing well and nursing like a champ. Her sisters LOVE her to pieces and want to hold her all the time! A more interesting story of the birth... The nursery had taken Hope to do her hearing screening before we left the hospital. I took that time to gather my things and prepare to go home. The nurse knocked on the door and wheeled in the baby... I noticed she wasnt wrapped in the blanket i sent her in... and she had a ton of dark hair.... it was very soon clear.. this wasn't my baby! Infact she may have been..Asian! I let the nurse go on and on about how cute she was... then I said "shes very beautiful but... uhh thats not my baby!" The poor nurse looked at me like PLEASE tell me you're being a smart ass! She looked down at her paper and realized she had the wrong room! I am sure that was the most embarassing day in this womans entire career! Luckily moments later a different nurse came in with the REAL Hope and she was safe with us!!
