Who would have thought something so little could be so painful. I started having pain last Tuesday Feb. 2nd and to make a long story short had my gallbladder taken out on Wednesday Feb. 10th. I am feeling a lot better and able to do a lot of things except pick up Brenna. She is over the 10 pound limit. I have had a lot of help from my mom who came from ID and Ken went to work one day this week. The hardest thing is when Brenna is crying for me and I can't pick her up. She has been a trooper with not being able to nurse for almost a day and taking more bottles than she has ever taken in her life. I should continue to heal and am looking forward to being able to shower again tomorrow. A sponge bath just isn't the same and my abdomen looks like tanning gone wrong from the iodine used for surgery. I appreciate friends and family and all the offers of meals and babysitting. I have felt so much better with my gallbladder out than I felt with it in.
On a lighter note while I was in the hospital Abree found my stash of her swimsuits and she has already tried on two of them today. I hid them so I could get her dressed and not turn around to leave the house and see her in her swimsuit. It is time to hide them again.

We got a new computer the day after Thanksgiving and I have felt a little handicapped with getting information and pictures to the new computer. Ken did stand in line all night in the pouring rain under an umbrella to score the computer. He called it an "adventure" and he also finished the book he had been reading.
In other news Sebrina turned seven and is in senior primary now because our ward is so large. Abree turned three and instantly thinks she is big enough to carry Brenna everywhere. She is also quickly becoming mischievous by getting into Brenna's teething tablets, knocking cheesecakes, and cookies onto the floor. Ken is now the Assistant Cub Scoutmaster and in nursery. I am the second counselor in the primary presidency. Conner and Cadin had their first piano recital last week and their first pinewood derby where they placed second and third. The three oldest are playing indoor soccer and in gymnastics. Abree would love to do all of these and am considering putting her in gymnastics because she does donkey kicks very well and headstands on the couch. Brenna is crawling everywhere now and she pulls herself up to standing position. She is 17 lbs today at her 9 month checkup and in the 25th percentile for her height and the 15th for her weight. She twirls her hands and feet when she is excited and loves to clap. Ken and I also hit our ten year anniversary. It doesn't seem like we have known each other for thirteen years now and married for ten. Time flies when you're having fun.
