18 Weeks

We had our 18 week check up yesterday and it went great. I am measuring right at 18 weeks and the heartbeat was at a steady 160 again!! Next Appt- Feb 14—We get to find out the sex!!

Next, We are converting Madison’s room into her BIG GIRL room for her birthday, so we decided that we needed to convert her crib to the toddler bed before her BIG GIRL bed comes. She is doing very well. The first night she got out twice, but got back in and went to sleep. The past 2 nights she has not gotten out at all. She actually rolled out one night while she was asleep (it is less than a foot off the ground and carpet) and didn’t even wake up. She somehow had made her way to the foot of the bed to where the opening was and rolled out. Last night no mishaps or getting out!

Worn Out!

This picture shows you just how tired she is when I pick her up from school!

My Sweet Girl!

We do not have much going on this week, so we have just been hanging out!! Here is a picture of my sweet girl enjoying one of her new favorite snacks…RAISINS!!

 

GOOD NEWS!

This past week has been filled with doctor’s appointments for Madison and boy was she a trooper. We first had an appointment with ENT to go over her sleep study results. He was very pleased as her obstructive sleep apnea was basically gone!!! This means the tonsils can stay!! The first of the GOOD NEWS!!! This also means no more ENT for Madison. Next, we had her post surgery MRI. This is always so hard on me because she has to be put to sleep….which also means she can not eat. However, Madison is always so good and never complains. She did great during and after her MRI. Last, on Friday we went and meet with Dr. Glazier, her neurosurgeon, to go over the results of the MRI. He walked into the room with a smile--- what a relief!! He was so happy and said her MRI looks GREAT!!!! We were all  so HAPPY! There is still one minor thing we have to figure out—her centralized sleep apnea. We are now in line to see a pulmonologist. Her ENT says he has seen acid reflux lead to centralized sleep apnea like this before, so we are going to have this checked out. For now—Madison is in the clear!! We are so proud of our little angle….or as she likes to say our “HOT MESS”!! This is her new favorite phrase. Craig and a few of his buddies headed up to NYC this weekend to do some duck hunting, so Madison and I headed to my parent’s house for the weekend. Here are a few pictures from our laid back weekend.

      

Happy Birthday Mason!

Today, we went to Mason’s 3rd birthday party at Monkey Joe’s. This was Madison’s first time there, so at first she was very hesitant about going into any of the the jump castles. Let me tell you…..by the end…..she was hooked!! She had a great time playing with all of her friends and celebrating with Mason.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

I hope this year is filled with lots of happy and joyful memories for everyone! We had a great day with our family…. eating lots of food and playing hard!!

The Condon's are looking forward to a GREAT 2012!!

 

As you can see Madison had us all “playing”.
