What am I going to do with this?
As most of you probably heard, I spent a good deal of Thanksgiving week in the hospital. After being sent home from one hospital on Sunday I proceeded to a different one for help with my gall bladder. This was my worst attack yet and no meds would help the pain nor the nausea.
Monday night the doctors realized that my liver was very inflamed and on the verge of shutting down, so an operation took place in which they removed my gall bladder and a gallstone that had passed into the common duct. I was supposed to be released tuesday morning, however as 8 pm tuesday night rolled around I was told that there was no discharge written up for me, however the nurse was kind enough to call the doctor and get me out of there.
Bad move! 5am the next morning I was back in the ER with uncontrollible vomiting and the worst nausea yet! Oh..and more pain! My liver was still in very bad shape so they decided to do an endoscopy and found and removed another gallstone. So late thursday afternoon I was released from the hospital...finally beginning to feel better and in time to enjoy holiday dinner!
Spending five days in the hospital is not my idea of fun...but it wasn't all that bad...check out the view!
Jesus especially enjoyed the 600 lb pumpkin that weighed in as the biggest in the area!
Jesus definitely takes after his mom with his tractor skills...I can see it now champion tractor puller!
After all the hard work of driving a tractor and picking out a pumpkin a cold apple beer really hit the spot!
Just saying hi!
4th of July outing...silly faces!
Man I'm cute!
Going...going...
Gone...notice the puddle!
It's never too early to eat carrots!
So another few weeks have passed and we are still surprised every day at how big the little guy is getting!
Now that he is sleeping "out of the burrito" he has been getting either too warm or too old and thus waking up every hour at night, so for our solution we got him big boy pjs! These ones are size 12 months and he loves them!
What a joy he is!
er the television. I suppose we can only lead by example! 
After feeling roasty toasty all day and one really messy diaper change we decided to let the little guy enjoy the great outdoors like a true man... with wind on his chest...boy did he love it!
I can't believe the joy a child brings. Jesus is so very innocent and yet so very mischievous. There is a surprise around every corner.
Hey ya'll. Well just a short little update on the little guy. Jesus is now just over six months old and has been rolling all around the house to get around...though just in the past few days he has started to get up on his knees, though cannot quite crawl but he does launch himself forward from his knees. He is learning so fast!!
Also, he can sit up on his own now which is great for all of us!
To make an even more eventful week his first tooth broke through yesterday...although he was in screaming pain the night before he seems to be doing great now. :)
I'm still working on figuring things out with this thing and I will have more pictures up soon! Bare with me!
Hey folks! per request here is a super moist super yummy banana bread recipe:
