Livi Got Her Tubes

Livi did great. We went in at 8:30 and went back to the room. They asked some questions and I changed her into her gown. They took her back at 9:03 and by 9:20 the doc came out and told me it went well. He said they sucked and sucked and sucked gobs and gobs of stuff out of both ears, so she should start to feel better almost immediately.

The worst part was recovery. I went back and she was screaming and reaching for me. Once I took her she was switching between being calm and screaming. They said that happens b/c they get scared and confused from the anesthesia. Usually they calm down at home. She drank a little apple juice and they let us go. It was VERY fast.

Livi's Tubes

If you are the praying type, say a little prayer for us. Livi is going in tomorrow to have tubes put in her ears. I'm hoping all goes smoothly. I'm still waiting for the hospital to call with a time frame for tomorrow. I hope it's early since she won't be able to eat from midnight tonight.

I'll update when I can.

Wordless Wednesday is on Hiatus

I haven't taken many pictures lately so I have nothing to post right now. My camera is still broken, so I have to rely on Juli's camera or my old camera which I always forget about.

Hopefully all will be well and Wordless Wednesday will be back soon.

Livi is Walking!!

She started taking a step here and there a week or two ago. Now she is up to 6-8 steps at a time!! Yay Livi!!

Let them eat cake.

WOW! Juli loved the chocolate fountain!

All a girl needs is a good pair of dancing shoes!

Of course, we were not allowed to leave until we did the chicken dance (per Juli's instructions)! Unfortunately, by the time it was played and Juli got her chicken dance spotlight the battery on our camera had already died. So if anyone has good pictures of that (or any others really) that they would love to share, please send them to me.

Congratulations Amy & Joe! Per cento ano!

Amy & Joe Get Married

The ceremony room was decorated beautifully.

Joe and his best man.

Melissa, Amy's sister and Maid of Honor.

Julianna the Flower Girl.

Right after the picture above, Juli ran out of flower petals about halfway to 3/4 of the way down the aisle. She stopped and put her hand to her mouth and was like "uh oh!". LOL! They had given out cones with flower petals in them to throw instead of rice. She was right next to my aunt when it happened. I think it was my aunt - James had to tell me since I was outside with Juli. I had to sneak in between Amy and Juli. Anyway, she leaned out and dumped her petals into Juli's basket. As she walked down the aisle everyone else started doing the same thing!! LOL It was SO cute!

Taking her place.

Amy and her dad, Rick.

Amy & Joe getting married.

Exchanging rings.

Officially, Mr. & Mrs.!!

Before the Wedding

We arrived at the big event with Juli asleep again. I was really hoping it wouldn't be the theme for the night. She woke up and warmed up to everyone not long after getting there.

Amy & Juli. Doesn't Amy look absolutely amazing?? Well Juli's not too shabby herself, lol, but Amy really was the beautiful bride!

Juli on the balcony with the bridesmaids flowers.

Peeking to see what guests had arrived.

I think I might have been giving her the pep talk here.

Having a few snacks to tide us over until cocktail hour.

Juli did take her camera with her, we ran out of batteries and then realized we left her memory card at home. This is the ONE picture she took last night.

Getting Pretty

Yesterday was the BIG day! It was Juli's debut as a flowergirl! She was super excited! We went to the salon to get her hair done. She loved being there and seeing all the hustle and bustle of a busy salon.

Waiting her turn.

Juli's stylist, Jamie, turning her into Cinderella!

The experience must have really been relaxing, since it caused her to fall asleep!!

Yep she really fell asleep and stayed asleep while Jamie was working on her. I had to hold her head up so Jamie could do her hair. EVERYONE at the salon came to check out little Cinderella.... on second thought maybe we should call her Sleeping Beauty!
