5 month pics and stats

Madelyn was not feeling photogenic today. So here are the best pics I could get of her. She now weighs 16lbs 6.4oz and is about 26 1/4 inches, maybe a tiny bit over.

Also... Prunes. Never again.

She does look quite proud of herself there though doesn't she?

Today was blah. I was supposed to get my house clean but...who wants to do that? I could barely keep Maddy clean as you can see!

Our calendar for March is filling up. This saturday I have a party for my cousin's baby who is turning 1 at 1:30 in Destrehan, and a baby shower for my best friend's sister at 2:30 in Norco. Wednesday the 11th I think I have a dr appt in New Orleans. The following Saturday is my neice's birthday party in Natchez. Toward the end of the month is Easter Portraits and Pike County Azalea Festival. We may go check out family day at Edgewood Park the last saturday of March. Also that day is a craft fair in Osyka. I LOVE craft fairs. I hope the weather is nice and Maddy cooperates so we can make it to both! Saturday April 4th is a home and garden show in McComb, we may attend that since we are planning to do some remodeling to the house, and Sunday April 5th is our wedding celebration party at our house. WHEW! I need to go put all this on the calendar in my iPhone before I forget it all.

Also to add to this sort of random entry... A few months ago when I was in the ER and they FINALLY discovered I had gall stones, this nurse gave me a shot of some painkiller. I pretty much always have no reaction to shots but oh my GOD this woman HURT me. She stuck me in my hip and I jumped and it hurt so freaking bad. Anyway, months later, I am still having pain in that area of my lower back/hip. I really think that nurse hit a nerve or something because when I rub where it hurts, it sends tingles down my leg. Now that I have my new insurance (YAY!!) I am going to line up my doctor's visits. I need to go to the dentist also...ugh. I'd rather give birth again than go to the dentist. =(
