Teeth, Teeth, and MORE Teeth!!

Our little man has been teething for what seems like FOREVER! Gray and I have been patiently waiting and wondering when we were going to see "results" from all his pain and agony. Well, we finally have evidence of teeth coming through! He has THREE, yes THREE, teeth coming through his gums on the top! No wonder he has been so cranky! These 3 teeth will make 5 total teeth now...the other 2 being on the bottom. And he is not even 7 months old yet!! We just cannot believe how fast he is growing up!

Fall Festival

This past weekend we made it to the Harvestfest at Wildwood Park in Little Rock. We met Gretchan, Corey, Ramsey, John, and Berry there. We had a great time. Cole was just perfect, but he always is! :) Here are a few photos that Gretchan took with their awesome new camera!

Bouncing Baby

Here is a video of Cole in his Jumperoo. He LOVES it! He used to only bounce up and down, but he has learned to bounce all over the place now. We thought it was so funny and cute! Sorry the video is a little long.

Surgery Outcome

Well I had the surgery this AM and it went well. I had a laparscopy with 2 very small incisions (one was over the scar from the last surgery). They released a lot of adhesions, including one that was connecting my right ovary to the mesh that was placed in 2002 to repair a hernia. Doc believes that was the culprit for my severe pain. He also found a small area that he believes is endometriosis, so he did a biopsy to see. We will probably find out about that at my appt in 2 weeks. I am very, very sore internally, but my incisions are not really bothering me too much.
I am sure I will be feeling a lot better tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for all the support and prayers! It is great to have good friends and a great family!

Surgery moved up!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery has been moved up to this Monday, Oct 6. It is going to be at Baptist in Day Surgery @7:30am. We are planning to come home that afternoon, as long as everything goes well. My doctor did tell me that he may have to do a c-section incision and in that case I would stay the night. (at least one) So we will see....

Any prayers and thoughts are greatly appreciated! This has been a source of extreme stress for me lately so I am ready to get this done!

Busy, Busy, Busy!

I am doing SO terrible when it comes to blogging! But it is not because I do not want to! We have had a ton of things going on lately and I have not had enough time to do anything extra!

Cole is now sitting up by himself, drinking from a sippy cup, eating baby food, rolling over (all directions), standing while holding onto something, squealing all the time, and talking up a storm (Baby language, that is!). He has 2 teeth on the bottom and I am expecting another to pop up any day now. He is just growing up so fast!

Mommy (Me) has been working full time and doing a RN program online. It is going well so far. I am having surgery on Oct. 21st at Baptist. I have been having a ton of pain in my right groin/inguinal area for the last couple months that seems to only be getting worse by the day. We are not sure what is causing it. I have had several tests done and nothing has come up for sure so we are going to do a diagnostic laparscopy to see. Pray for us!

Daddy has just been working as usual and spending as much time as possible with our growing little man! Gray keeps Cole in the evenings while I am at work. I do not get off until 8pm three nights a week. It is great bonding time for them! I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband!! I love you babe!

Here are several pics that we have taken over the last month. Hopefully, I will be able to post a little more often from now on! I will try to make it more of a priority. I know that everyone wants to see how Cole is growing!

Too long!

I know that it has been too long since I last blogged! There has been a whole lot going on around our house lately! I have started back to work full-time at Primecare Medical Clinic in Conway. It is where I worked before I had Cole. I am really enjoying being back at work! But since I have gone back to work, it is hard to find time to sit down and blog. Sorry!

There have been a few new changes with Cole recently. First, he has his bottom right tooth coming in. It has completely broken through the skin. The left one is on its way through too! I can't believe my baby is already getting teeth!!! Where does time go?? He is also rolling over really well from his tummy to his back. I do have a video, but I have not figured out how to put it on computer yet...I promise I will soon! What else? Well we had our 4 month check up and shots. It went well and the doctor said he is very healthy and looks like he is growing at a good rate. He weighed 15lbs even and was 25in long. He was in the 50th percentile for weight and 75th percentile for height, but what does that really mean anyways? I could care less as long as he is healthy and continuously growing. He is such a mess right now...Gray and I laugh at him constantly! I am sure that he got only the best personality traits from each of us!

Also, Gray and I had our first anniversary on 8-11-08!! Can't believe that we have been married a year and been together for more than 5! Time really does seem to fly by when you are happy! I could not ask for a better husband or father! I love you so much, Gray! Forever and Always! We spent the weekend at Lake Hamilton at the condo - our favorite place on earth! Our parents kept Cole for us and we were able to get some relaxing time on the lake. Gray took me out on the boat Saturday night (in the rain) and we had champangne and ate our cake from the wedding. It was very romantic and very sweet! That was the highlight of the weekend!

Here are just some pictures we have taken over the last few weeks...
