I have to have my gall bladder taken out. I have stones and have had 2 attacks! Trying my darndest to put the surgery off until the week after Thanksgiving. Pray I don't have any more attacks and can stay out of the ER!!
Aidan is walking like mad and just thinks he's the coolest thing ever! He's also managed to fall down the stairs this week and slip in the tub and cut his eyelid open... poor babe! You'd think we aren't babyproof, but we're pretty good... he's just fast! :) He's still a rotten sleeper, but his night-times are getting longer. He generally goes down between 6:45 and 7:15 and sleeps (well, with 2-3 times waking) until 6:45-7:15 am! I can't complain about that!
Olivia... Oh Miss Olivia... Drama fills her life. And she thinks we also want that drama! Let me tell you... I don't. I'm sure I have shared with you that I just have to deal with her not napping every day anymore. She will be one of those kids who doesn't take naps by 3. I've accepted this. There's one problem: After a few days of not napping, she desperately needs one. And she'll take one...but when she wakes up? There is HELL to pay. Seriously. She will scream and cry and carry on for a good 30 min. Also, on days she takes naps bedtimes are getting to be more and more difficult. Getting out of bed numerous times... lots of drama there too. :)
I have to work 4 days this week...the last 2 being at a conference that I am super stoked about! But I will spend my first night away from both kids... with Ryan having them!!!! He's worried that he won't hear them cry... because he doesn't when I'm home. I'm convinced that he will sleep lighter knowing I'm not there and will hear them. If not, I guess Aidan will learn how to cry it out! :)
Then Friday Ryan's family comes to spend the weekend with us; we are going to the Vikings game on Sunday (got tix for Ryan's birthday)! And his sister Jenelle & their youngest will be staying with us until Thanksgiving (of course the rest will be coming back then also). It will be a busy and fun couple weeks.
Then surgery... (I'll keep you posted!)

What a BIG STEP going off to this two-day conference. Just think...this is just the beginning of knowing you can get away for girls' weekends at any time. Ryan better keep those ears peeled!
I hope that the surgery goes okay...how scary! I'm sure Ryan will do just fine...it will be a good break for you! Have fun! (I also responded to your comment on my blog. :))
BUMMER! Oh how I hope that you get to feast on Thanksgiving!!!
That conference could be a great way to break Aidan's poor sleeping habits. Ryan can sleep through him screaming and you won't have to deal with it. When I stopped helping Ella fall asleep it was really hard to listen to her cry to sleep, but it only took a few days and she barely cried and I got over feeling guilty.
