It's getting cold outside...

It is getting colder and colder outside and today was Macie's first snow (well at least flurries). Brian and I bought Macie a hat. All of them were way to big, so this is the closest we got. It is huge on her and a little rediculous, but adorable at the same time!

The worst pain of my life...

Last night we had Rachel and Eric over for chili. We had a great night overall, but while they were here, my back started to cramp up and the pain started getting worse and worse. After they left, the pain was all over my back and moved around to my stomache and under my right ribs. The pain was unbearable and before long I was throwing up too. I got very scared when nothing seemed to help and we called my mom to come and watch Macie so that Brian could take me to the ER. It was the first time I had to leave her and that was the worst part because I didn't know when I was going to get to come back home. I also had a fear that I would go to the hospital and they would look at me like I was stupid or something and tell me it was just indigestion from the chili.
Long story short, after being poked and prodded and having an ultrasound, they found out that I have gallstones and will need my gallbladder taken out. I have to call a surgeon Monday and set it up. I am pretty bummed about having another surgery but I definitly don't want to have to go through that again. Hopefully, all will work out and it will be a same day surgery so I won't have to be away from my baby for too long. I'll keep you posted....

My Daddy and I

Today when I was busy cleaning up from the shower, Brian read Macie the book, My Daddy and I. It was the cutest thing because she was wide awake and looking at him and the book. I am sure that Brian will read her many more stories over the next few years!

Jamie's Shower

Today was my cousin, Jamie's, baby shower. She is the last one of my cousins that is pregnant to have her baby. There were five of us at the same time and we have had four baby showers since July! Jamie looked great, as always!

Jamie, the mommy-to-be, with a scrapbook one of her friends made for her. It has the pages done for her inside. All she has to do is fill them in. What an awesome idea!

It was a "full circle moment" to see my cousin, Kaitlyn, holding Macie. I babysat for her a lot when she was little and now she is old enough to babysit for my child!
