Oh 2:30 AM How I do not miss you.....

So this blog comes courtesy to you from Miss Livi herself. Well, not really, but since she has decided that sleeping through the night is over-rated here I am. Yes, we have hit the patch in which the child who once slept 13-15 hours a night wakes up between 2:30 and 4 AM for a bottle.... time for cereal no?

What a crazy week we have had. I had surgery! Well, I actually had my wisdom teeth removed, but that is surgery right? They put me under which was an interesting experience since I remember nothing about counting backward (am I so pathetic I did not even make it that far?), waking up, driving home, getting home and waking, diapering, feeding the baby! Oops. She lived for all of you who are worried.

So my teeth. I came home, did not need to sleep and had no pain AT ALL for 3 days. Then, BAM! Dry Socket. Luckily I made it through with lots of motrin and ice packs. The Doctor told me yesterday (Monday) that they could "Pack" them, but I figured I made it this far why the heck do I want someone shoving gauze deep into the holes of my mouth! No thanks.

On that note, kiddo is back to sleep and so should I be. Pictures soon, I promise. Night All!

Banshee Wail

You know that noise one makes when they hiccup/burp? Or possibly when you have been crying real hard and take that quick, long breath in that sounds more like you are dying? Or even better, a noise that sounds as though your child might not be breathing or is choking so you go running into her room from the computer every times she does it to make sure she is not hurting?

THAT my friends is the noise that Livi has discovered she can make and has been doing so for the past 37 minutes. You would think that I would realize and stop running around like a crazy person right? Wrong. It is a good thing she is so darn cute when she does it.

Happy day friends!

Supermodel, WOOOOOORK!

OK, so Livi had her 3 month pictures today! She was not the happiest camper on earth, but the kid is such a trooper. Not only were we there for 2 1/2 hours, but her crazy momma changed her clothes like 4 times. Maybe 5..... I can not wait to share them with you! I should have proofs by Friday, cause our photog is AMAZING! Instead, for those of you who have not seen I will share some of her newborn shots also done by the super crazy talented Breanne Schaap. Enjoy and stay tuned...... Livi is a model in the making. (do all moms think that?)

Let the games begin!

I got this crazy idea to start a blog. I know, I know, yet another thing to do in my super hectic life. But I think this is such a creative and fun way to share our weird, funny, and sometimes gross stories with the people we love. Not to mention we have this CRAZY cute kiddo that is growing up way too fast and what a better way to be involved from afar, right? So here we go....... Welcome to our life, The Swanson 3 :)
