Big Update

It has been forever since I updated this. I am sorry!! Things have been so busy around here! Madisyn is now 12 weeks old and McKenzie is 3 1/2 yrs. Time flies. At Madisyn's 2 month appoint she was 9 # 12.5 oz and 22 inches long. She has reflux, but it seems to be well managed on Prevacid. She still is a spitter, it just does not seem to burn her as it comes up. Kenzie is adjusting to the big sister role pretty well. She still has her moments when she wants to be the baby to get the "extra" attention, but she has started helping more. She even changed her first diaper this week. She has found that the pool is her new favorite place to be on a hot day. She is quite the little fish. She got a new swim vest and she is all over the place unassisted. Madisyn likes the pool too, but we have to keep her covered so the hot LA sun does not touch her white skin! Madisyn started sleeping through the night this week. She goes to bed around 930 and wakes up at 700. She is still taking good naps for the most part too. Daddy is continuing to lose weight and improving his PT test. He passed the pushups and situps, but was unable to pass the run. He did improve his time though. He went to the doctor today for the large bump/mass he has just below his knee. The doctor thinks he has Osgood Slaughter's disease. They are going to maintain the walking profile for 30 more days and do an MRI, but he may end up on a permanent walking profile which means he can easily pass the PT test because he has already shown that he can pass the walking part twice. I am still recovering from my staple removal. The surgery went great and as soon as I get these stiches out of my foot. I will finally be able to wear regular shoes again! YAY! The surgeon was wonderful. There is very little discomfort, bruising, or swelling. Stitches come out Thursday. I have increased my work load. I am working about 3 hours Tuesday through Saturday. Mckenzie is finally completely potty trained with the exception of night time accidents. I have heard that this comes in its own time. She has not had a daytime accident in a long time, in fact I cannot even remember the last time. Our house in Indiana still has not sold. We are working with the Mortgage company in hopes that we can short sell it and just be done with. The in-laws did not move in to rent it like was originally planned, unfortunately! Joe's truck is still broke down. It has been one thing after another! First the head gasket's before we left, then the tires once it got down here, and now the fuel pump is out. I pray that it can be completed before August because that is what we need to come home for leave. We are bringing the dog home with us and there is not enough room in the car for the four of us and the dog plus all our luggage, etc. Well I have to go, McKenzie is throwing another one of her fits! IMAGINE that. Terrible 3's, oh boy, she is giving me a real run for my money!!
