Our little family update

Wow, it's been a while since I have posted a blog. Things have been extremely busy lately. For starters, Mark is deploying very soon and we are so sad. Madi is in such a fun stage right now that she is walking, talking and such a little giggle box. I feel bad he will miss out on some of this stage. I bought her Halloween costume early so Mark could see her in it before he leaves. Madi also had ear tubes put in on Friday. I think the most traumatic thing for her was when she had to get her earrings out and then back in. But she did so good. The doctor said her ears were so infected that when he made the incision into her ear, puss pored out...yep, pretty graphic and pretty gross. He said she had a pocket of puss the size of a marble in each ear and that she has probably never got rid of her 1st ear infection she got when about 2 months old. He also said that she has probably only been able to hear as well as we would if we plugged both ears and tried to hear for the last 6 months. It is very obvious she can hear better, cause we will whisper to her now and she looks at you. For her ears being as infected as they were she has been such a happy girl and never seemed to be down.
My job at the Air Force base is going amazing. I am doing what I did when I was on active duty and loving every minute of it. I am also working in the section for a man named Todd who I worked with a lot when i was in the Air Force. It's great and everyone is so nice. Not to mention the money is amazing. Really helping us out with new expenses lately...which brings me the next topic...
Our frozen embryo transfer is coming up on Tuesday. Please everyone say a prayer for us. It's been extremely tough lately with all the medicines and shots I am on. They make me pretty sick and give me terrible migraines. I am getting pretty nervous about being pregnant while Mark is deployed but hopefully that will make it go so much faster. They will though all 3 of our frozen embryos and will implant all that survive the thawing. The doctor told us probably 2 if not 3 will survive because I was 24 when they were frozen and it's been less than 2 years since they were frozen. We are extremely excited and nervous. We will keep you all posted as we find things out.
Coming up we have Craig and Heidi's wedding renewal vows on the 25th. We wish them a very Happy 15 year Anniversary and many more years of joy. We have decided to have a garage sale. I hate having garage sales but we have decided to go through out house and eliminate many things. I am getting rid of a bunch of my stamps and card/scrapbook making items. So that is on the 1st of August...same day as Sidney's 9th birthday. The second I am having a bunch of our friends over for a BBQ as kinda a come back soon party for him. The following weekend we have a BBQ at some friends house and then family photos. So we have an even busier weeks to follow.
We hope everyone is enjoying summer as much as we are. Another blog to come soon as I will be home on bed rest next week after the implant.
