Well, I haven't had a chance to post anything in a while. I have so many pictures to post but can't do it tonight. It's been so busy since we got back from the beach. Addi came down with a cold and a bad ear infection (her first one ever!). Her ear drained for a few days and then she ran fever. Both girls had check ups (3 year check up for Addi and 2 month check up for Finley). They had to get shots which is not fun! Thankfully, Mom went with me to take them. Our doctor recommended that we see Addi's ENT due to the infection and b/c the tubes she got at 6 months old were coming out. He also thought she may have a hole in her ear drum (scary!). We made an appointment with the ENT 2 days later. Our ENT, Dr. Woolley (who we love, by the way) said we needed to come in the following day and have her tubes taken out and possibly have new ones put in. John was leaving to go out of town the morning of the surgery so Mom and David (John's dad) came with me. Everything went well, and Dr. Woolley ended up putting new tubes in Addison's ears. We were there from 7:00 until about 11:30. It was a long morning, and Addi doesn't do well with anesthesia. Anyway, all is calming down now except for the hour-long screaming sessions 2 times each day when we put Addi's ear drops in. I feel bad for her b/c I can tell that it hurts (or is very uncomfortable) when the drops drip through the tube. Tonight, as Addi proceeded to scream and scream, Finley also began to cry (which she rarely does). So after going from room to room to calm them, all 3 of us got in Addi's twin bed. The girls fell asleep as I told stories and sang songs (barely awake myself!).
*updates from the check ups:
-Finley weighs 10 pounds and 10 ounces and is in the 90% for height, 60% for weight, and 40% for head size.
-Addi weighs 28 1/2 pounds and is in the 15% for height and weight. Bless her soul! Looks like little sis may be towering over big sis.
