This and That

What a week! So much going on here. First of all...my mom is doing pretty well. She needs to rest more and let herself heal better which she is having a hard time with since she is a very on the go person. She had her check-up with her DR today who discussed the "plan of action" with her. I will talk about that more when full decisions on it have been made. But all in all...she is doing very well and is doing good...I know you ALL want to know:-) Thank you for your continued prayers!

Secondly...Mikayla is still a little under the weather. This has really been going on for quite some time and I am beginning to wonder if it is allergies at this point. We had to make a complete switch from Soy milk to Soy Formula which is just easier for her. She was a mess on the Soy milk but is tolerating the Soy Formula like a champ so we will stick with that until we feel ready to try the milk again...our doctor said not to push her and she is FINE on this. She is doing well except for the fact that the bottom tooth that she just got in is the WRONG tooth. What the heck?! It's her eye tooth and it should be another one of the bottom four. I am going to have to call the pedi dentist that Alec goes to and see what is going on because there is another tooth trying to come in along with it that looks like the RIGHT tooth. Isn't that strange??? I have no idea what to do about it. I guess nothing at this point.

I am doing OK but very tired. The past two days I have been in a lot of pain with my kidneys. Thought I had another infection. This morning I woke up from my sleep and sat straight up in bed the pain was that severe and guess what...I passed a Kidney Stone and I caught that sucker. This is about the 5th one I have passed...the past four I had to go to the ER because the pain was too much but this one I handled on my own. How on earth can something so small (the size of a grain of rice) cause so much pain. Oh well...it's out..but I have a lot more. I am calling my Urologist tomorrow because he told me if I had ONE MORE kidney infection I was going to have to have surgery to correct my kidney issues and guess what....I have had five. So I need to call him and schedule another VCUG to check my kidney reflux level again and see how much damage my kidneys now have. If you are family or close friends you know that I have kidney problems, but some of you may not. It's too long and complicated to explain right now, maybe someday, but the gist of it is that I have what is called a Double Collecting System. Basically four kidneys but they are really ONE set of kidneys that contain two "collecting systems" and four ureters. One for each:-) But the ureters are in the wrong place on my kidneys and need to be detached and moved to proper spot. OK...too much medical info for one night.

I have been slowly getting Mikayla stuff for fall. Having a girl is a bad thing for the wallet. Especially when you have ME as the mom. I am a huge Gymboree addict. I mean....HUGE. I also love The Children's Place but 90% of her fall clothes are from Gymboree. YIKES. It's just too cute to handle. Love the new lines. You gymbo fans, and I know there are a few on here, know what I mean. So I dressed her up in one of her Children's Place outfits yesterday. Didn't do her hair and IGNORE the closet. It so needs cleaned out. It is FULL of clothes and "stuff."

Also...I am so behind on everyone's blogs it isn't even funny anymore. It's going to take me a week to catch up on everyone. But...I will do it so look for a blog visit from yours truly!

Have a great weekend and OH...my diet is going great...I am on a roll!

So...am I cute of what?
Sleeping in the High Chair a few days ago when she was sick. I put a pillow under head at least and Alec brought down his CD player and played her music. LOL.
