Tim was able to come home Thursday from the storm job he's been working in Kansas for over a week. I, of course, was very excited. I couldn't wait to see him. It's so nice to be a family again. He said the conditions out there were incredible. Power lines were down every where and it was very very cold. I'm just glad he is home safe and sound a few days before Christmas. This is a picture of how much he missed Aubriana. 
Because Aubriana hasn't had a bowel movement on her own since she's been home from the Hospital... our Pediatrician ordered a barium enema for her at the Children's Hospital. He wanted to rule out that she didn't have a disease called Hirshsprungs where the colon narrows at the end and it makes it difficult to pass anything through. At first I wasn't comfortable taking her to Radiology for being 10 days old, so I got a second opinion. The second doctor agreed that she needed it done, so I called and reset the appointment.Yesterday I took her to Children's and she was such a trooper! The only time she really cried hard was when the nurse held her legs down to take the x-rays. She was very very good. I was proud of her. The doctor called later and told me that everything looks great. She definitely doesn't have anything wrong. So, sounds like she just has a really tight bum. So, now I just wait until Wednesday to see if she has bowel movements on her own or if we need to see the gastroenterologist to see if we need to help her for a while. So far last night she had two messy diapers, however, I think it was because of all the stuff they put in her to see her bowels. So, I'm waiting it out today to see if she goes anymore.
Above is a picture Aunt Dana took of her when she was here. It's one of my many favorites! She looks like a berry.
Thanks to Lurlyn, I've been inspired to share a video. Tim is introducing Bumble Bee to her first patty cake, however, I had to sing the song cause Tim couldn't remember it all. Enjoy!
I'm sorry its been so long since I've posted anything on my blog. We've been busy enjoying family and new baby! Now that things are quieting down, we are loosing the man of the house for a while. Tim has been called out with his crew to Kansas to help all the people that are out of power there. He leaves at 5 am. We're not sure how long he will be out, probably until Christmas. :( I'm really bummed out about him going but try to remind myself of all those people in need of power. I can't imagine myself in that situation. So... I thought I would post my favorite picture of my babe for now and promise to post more tomorrow. I think I've taken a million and one pictures of her so I shouldn't have any trouble getting them posted.
So! Long awaited washer and dryer is now located in our laundry closet! Yeah! No more carrying heavy baskets of dirty clothes to the laundry and paying $1.25 in quarters for one wash. 
While we were away this past weekend, we had to leave Minnie at a dog boarding place. Tim wouldn't even come with me to take her there cause he thought she would get more upset. Anyway, I took her and I almost starting crying when I had to turn around and leave her. She was so confused and all the dogs were barking at her! 
barking at me. It was so sad. It stinks that we can't take her with us on the plane. Anyway, I got her home and she has been sleepy ever since. Today is no exception. She was a little cold too, so she had to have her sweater on. I really think with all this sleeping she is doing that she really had a good time playing with all the other dogs. Don't you think she has a hard life? haha! 
We just got back from seeing the newest addition to the family! My sister-in-law Lurlyn and her husband had their baby boy blessed on Sunday. It was so fun to fly out there (even though I wasn't suppose to) to be apart of it. Tim could not get over how soon he is going to be a dad and be holding his own little baby in his arms. Its becoming a reality! He's been counting down the days since the month of November creeped up.
Little Leify is such a sweet baby and Lurlyn is a natural at being a mother! She makes it look easy and I know its not! :) I have the pre-baby jitters and million and one questions but I'm sure I'll figure it out. If not, I have Tim and all his crazy ideas! LOL!
