last month...

we took a little trip. We went to az for miss kippy's shower, stopped off in cali to see johnny's fam, and finally made our way back to baltimore. We had such a fun time in both places. We had kippy's shower at my mom's and it was the cutest shower of 2009, we are so glad that we didn't have to miss out on this event!We did have a little bump in the road while we were there though. Ivy had a cough for 6 weeks, and the doc in balt told me it was bronchitis and put her on antibiotics. It did absolutely nothing for her, so I decided to take her to our pediatrician in az. When we met with him he decided that it would be best for her to go get chest xrays as well as blood tests, to see what the deal was. After a whole day of appointments, the doctor called me with the results. He said that she had a really bad case of pneumonia, and that we needed to take her to the pulminary specialist right away. We then met with the specialist and he said that she would need surgery. So, next day she went in, they put her out and went down with a camera to see if they could find any sort of object that was blocking her airway. It was so hard to see them take her away:( They werent able to find anything but they were able to suck out a ton of junk that was obstructing her ability to breathe normally. After the sugery, and being put on a heavier antibiotic, she made a quick recovery. In cali we did alot of playing. Jamie and Ivy are bff's and I cannot even imagine what it would be like if ivy didn't have her. It is SO nice that johnny has a little sis close to ivy since she doesn't have any other cousins on his side. We had a great time at disneyland...we had to go one more time before ivy turns 3 next month and we have to pay for her. such a bummer! Maybe its time for us to get season passes, or maybe just move there. That sounds nice:)
