Addison can hear ...amongst other things ..

So we went to the audiologist yesterday and lo and behold she passed the test , thank god !

And me ? well i'm knee deep in wedding plans, invitation lists , dress designs, etc ,etc... but it's going quite well and i pretty much have things picked out and thought of just need to gets things bought and paid for ...

i've also officially started to get summer potty training , we're starting slow though ...she's pretty comfortable sitting on it , with or without her diaper on ..now just to teach her what she has to do on it ..lol when she sits on it ..i'm like "ok pee!" , and well she looks at me like i have four heads ..so i've come to the conclusion that i need to get her on it every hour or less so that sometime , someway , it will happen on it's own and she'll magically discover what the pottys actually for (haha yeah right !) Once again , wish me luck !!

Oh and just a note for all you breastfeeding mums out there, i've been meaning to let ya know about the new breastfeeding room at the regent mall . If ya haven't already checked it out you really should ! It's so convenient and clean , a tad bit small , but has big comfy leather chairs , a sink and a diaper changing station WITH WIPES!! . I've even used it just to change a diaper , because i hate doing it in the public bathrooms ..ick ... The room is in the new entrance down by sears , you just go into the new mall customer service place and you'll see a room with a picture of a baby and a door hanger on the door and voila~ peaceful feeding place away from the crowds ..

Three week growth spurt ~

....so we've made it three whole weeks and now we're in the midst of a full blown "eat every 20 mins" growth spurt ..and i just keep telling myself ..it will be over soon just hang in there ...but other then that everything is going much more smoothly , summer seems to be calming down , supper gets made most days, and the laundry is not overtaking the house anymore ..Josh is also back to work , good thing too because we were starting to run out of money ..although he's not liking it much and back searching for a good job out west .

We've decided to get married this summer (date to be announced soon)so we're needing some extra money for that ... and he's off to school in april to finally finish his apprenticeship out. Still have yet to take out the girls by myself but i'm thinking about trying it this weekend ..wish me luck !!

First trip to the doctor's office

Do ya ever think there's something obviously very wrong with your child and come to find out everything's either normal or there's nothing you can do to help them .....Well today i had that kind of day ....

Addison is a wonderful baby ...sleeps very well , almost never cries unless she's hungry ,has caught on to breastfeeding instinctively , smiles all the time, and is overall very content ...amongst what i assumed was a cold , an eye infection , and some mild feeding issues ( on my part) but to my surprise they were all normal /"there's nothing you can do because she's too young " symptoms ...but still i'm feeling unsatisfied. Her nose is very congested , her eyes are swollen and have a discharge , she gags, chokes , and vomits during and after feedings (from overactive letdown & oversupply ) but aparently this is all "normal" . On the bright side she's 8lbs now (she was 6'5 in hospital and 7'2 last week) and an inch longer....

Summer on the other hand ....has turned into quite the handful ...wants attention at every second of the day and finds the peaceful feeding sessions to be the perfect time to get into EVERYTHING...here's hoping this is a phase ........!
