I thought as April 15 slowly arrived, I would have more time...WRONG!! Life has been hectic as normal justnow there are 2 of us to deal with it! Havent uploaded pics in awhile but I will get to them in due time :) What have the Smith's been up to?
** Who knew thats soccer could take up so much time?? One practice a week and a game every Saturday really adds up, but Kinson LOVES it and we cry to we have tears running down our faces at every game because they are so darn cute!
**Bear had his CPA ceremony, got his license, and a raise (that being the biggest in my book ;)) so it is definitely official and can not be taken back!!
**I went on a girls weekend trip for my bestest friend, Priscilla's Bachelorette Party. It has been a long time since I have ben in New Orleans on a fun weekend....good thing we have all grown up a bit :)
** Speaking of Priscilla, her big day is tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited for her and Joey. I am off today preparing and performing all of my Bridesmaid duties.
**As always we have had multiple drs visits and I will try and sum it up in as few words as possible. Cohen will have surgery May 13 to remove her adenoids, sinus wash, new tubes, and a series of sedated hearing tests. This became a last resort as we have attempted 3 hearing tests and the results have either been inconclusive or she hasnt participated. So we got a GREAT new ENT and he felt like she was holding fluid behind her ears and until we cleared that up we were always going to be questioning her hearing. We saw the endo yesterday and through all of her recent testing, it is now a definitive diagnosis that she is partially growth hormone deficient. Once the drug company and insurance work things out, she will begin daily injections. She is also undergoing a diet overhaul, as it is shown that kids who have this diagnosis have a tendency to have metabolic issues with fat and inability to break down and discard of it. Recently she has been eating to the point of vomiting and her stomach has been protruding and hard. So she will have some new restrictions and limitations on quantity until she gets older and activity can be encouraged and the meds begin to take effect. However, this little girl is so busy!!! She never stops until she literally crashes at 7:00 every night and sleeps rock solid til we wake her up at 6:30.
** Cohen learned 2 syllables recently. "buh" and "na". We were thrilled to her little voice, except when we hear the "na" sound. She only uses this when she is mad or scared. Especially when she hears the vacuum cleaner!!
Hopefully after this weekend I will get some great new pictures this weekend!!
