Visitors

Nana Brayton, Aunt Lisa, Leigh Ann, Mary Beth, Victoria, Teresa, and Madelyn came to visit us in OHIO!! We had so much fun and miss them already!

Emma and Leigha with Nana Brayton.

Leigha was mad before I gave her to Nana so it was not Nana's fault she is crying I just really wanted a picture. And Sophia would not come and stand with Emma so she is not in the picture.

Happy Father's Day

Shaun!

Leigha loves to play

Leigha loves to play with her toys. In the last 2 weeks she is really starting to smile, coo, and notice her hands and toys. She is so fun. She really loves her sisters and she loves to stick her tongue out at daddy and play a little game with him.

New Scooters!

Emma got a new scooter with her Birthday money. So of course there was a huge fight about Sophia not having one to ride on! So Papa gave Sophia some money and we went to Walmart and found Sophia a new scooter and bike helmet. Now everyone is happy (for the moment). Daddy and Nana Bell took the girls to the bike trail in Austinburg today to let them ride and ride and ride. They loved it. Mommy stayed home to rest with Leigha and we went over to visit with Anita and Gavin. The babies just slept and slept.

SOPHIA HAS HAIR

Shaun took Sophia to WalMart and she got a Hannah Montana wig!!! She loves it.

Gall Bladder

I went to the emergency room Friday night with pain in my back and under my rib cage. They took some blood (the girl really tore up my arm in the process) and found that my counts where extremely high. So they did a ultra sound and decided my Gall Bladder needed to come out right away. They kept me in the hospital until Sunday morning on IV fluids and a Liquid diet. (YUMMY) Just to calm everything down. Sunday morning around 7:30 am they put me under and did the surgery the next thing I remember it is 9:45 am and I am starting to wake up. They hospital staff was AMAZING they let me keep Leigha in my room until it was time for the surgery. So she only had to have 4 bottles on Sunday with Grandma Linda. I was released at 3:30 pm and was able to start feeding Leigha again around 9 pm.

Heather (Adam's girlfriend) feeding Leigha 1 of her 4 bottles she had to take on Sunday. She did VERY WELL.

This is what my stomach looks like. They poked 5 holes in me and took the Gall Bladder out the Belly Button. Weird huh? I feel like I have been kicked really hard but other than that I feel fine.

I have to be on a soft food diet for 2 weeks to see if my liver count will go down. If it is still high in 2 weeks the doctor will have to go back in to see if I have a stone lodged in the liver. I hope it goes down and I loose 15 lbs. in the process. ha ha
