written update.

so, lots of things have been happening.

Addy made a new best friend that lives just three houses away, and they spend every afternoon together, either over here, or over at her house, it give the grownups a lil break on the days they are at the others house lol. its nice for Addy to have such a great buddy. :)

Niamh has been using the potty more and more, at least once a day now.  she is ADDICTED to running around naked, which she calls "nakey time" its so adorable! she is getting so big, and her sentences are just getting longer and longer.

Morgans work has been laying people off left and right. so far he is safe, but we dont know how long that will last.

Last week i started having some bad pain in my left side of my abdomen. i ignored it for a day, but the next day, something was nagging at me to call my Dr. she was out of town, so i talked to another Dr in the practice, she recommended i go in to see them. so that afternoon Morgan took off work, came home, and took me to the Dr, who reccomended going straight over to the hospital for a CT scan, just incase it was diverticulitis or appendicitis. it was neither. its called panniculitis, somehow the good fat that surrounds my organs and protects them from eachother, etc, didnt get enough oxygen, and died. so i have necrotic fat in my abdmen causing me pain. in the CT they also found that i have a cyst on my pancreas and have scheduled me for a pancreatic MRI for this upcoming tuesday to see if it needs to be biopsied, if we need to remove it, or if it can be left alone. that could also be a reason why i am in so much constant pain. being in pain like this makes me so tired all the time. i am having a tough time being productive, and the poor girls have had to snuggle me in bed most of the time while i rest and try not to hurt too much.

i am trying to stay positive. BUT after reading information on the interwebs about different pancreatic cysts. i am admittedly full of anxiety. 

on Friday the girls will be spending time with a friend of mine for a few hours while my sister britt and i go get our hair done as birthday presents to ourselves, since we both have May b-days. i cant wait! i am a little nervous for the girls, they should have a good time, after they get past missing me, but i know they will be a bit upset when i leave. i cant wait to get pampered, and see what my hair looks like when its all done. we are going to a school that britt has gone to before. they do great work, and i am really very excited to do something for myself that doesnt involve medical care. lol. its been a long time since i pampered myself, and i think i deserve it :)

so thats our little updates. please keep your fingers crossed for us, Morgans job, and my health.
