Jim's been putting in a lot of hours at work lately- starting his day around 5:15 and not getting home till 7:30 which means late dinner =/ and then I work 4-10s so I usually don't get home till 5:30-6 depending on traffic. Usually buys me a little time to prepare dinner and or get some stuff done around the house ( watching my TV shows) =) but this whole eating dinner at 7:30 is not fun. I'm no longer young and burning a ton of calories and being super physically active to the point it doesn't matter what I eat or what time I eat.. Because clearly my body thinks otherwise.. So i am starting my new years resolution early!! After I post this, I plan to run on the eliptical =) (i'll keep you updated if it really happens)
This past Friday, our beautiful little niece- Maylynn Janine had her surgery to reverse her Colostomy. She is such a tough little ladybug and am so proud to be her Auntie!!
-My brother and Jaclyn took her in on Thursday where they put her on IV's and would begin to clean out her system in prep for surgery (friday morning at 9:30). It breaks my heart to see such an innocent little girl hooked up to all the wires etc. but none the less, we all knew it was for the best. I mean regardless, she was twice as cute rockin the nose tube, and baby electrodes!! =)
She did great in surgery and will continue to have a little bit of recovery time . She slept basically all day Friday and Saturday morning when we visited her, she decided to wake up for us for about 45minutes! She will continue to have an IV to stay hydrated- and have her catheter removed Sunday morning! Once she has her first bowel movement she will finally be able to eat!!! I received a text, stating "she passed some gas" YAY!! Not to often do you get excited about passing gas, let alone from a girl! then to wait again for the next bowel movement to be able to come home!
Jimmy and I planned to take care of Reese (big brother) while everyone was up at the hospital, and boy did we have fun!! That little boy just adores his "Uncle WimWim" we played lots, watched a turtle movie and then took both Talan and Reese to faithful little cupcakes for a treat (and giving a special treat to my best friend, Jessi for her birthday) We went to Ramseyer's farm and let the boys pick out there own pumpkin, and of course one for Maylynn too! They both felt the need to pull a wagon- men... lol I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it just as much as they did! We went to the football game friday evening to watch Jimmy's little brother Chase play. THEY WON!!! ha ha they've had a rough season, but its one more game closer to basketball season! =) My mom spoiled us and had lots of goodies, and homemade meals ready basically anytime of the day for the whole weekend- Hot ham n swiss sandwhiches, Kraft parkay bars, Lasagna... deliciousness!! And Saturday night we went over to see Jessi and Zachs new house and dinner to celebrate Jessi's birthday!! =) Love spending time with them, and its really funny because the silly things that go on at our house- i've realized go on at there house too =) Love married life!!
After 4 loads of laundry, and cleaning the house and doing a little shopping today- I am ready for bed ha ha o0o0o and I got to make Pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes! ( i love baking) Tomorrow is our 1yr. wedding anniversary, I would let you all know what I got my husband but he likes to read my blog and CRITIQUE it, so we shall keep it a secret till after our dinner date tomorrow night! =)
Please continue to keep Maylynn in your thoughts and prayers!! Thank you!!!
