Adios, Hydrocele!

Monday was our day to have surgery so Sunday night we celebrated by saying good bye to Adelaide's big belly button. She was born with an umbilical hernia and I found out this summer that I had something like a hernia that needed to be fixed so it made sense to have the surgeries done on the same day.

I was a little more nervous than Adelaide. When we got to Children's Hospital they immediately made us feel comfortable. After getting us settled, we were given some stickers and bubbles to play with.

When Adelaide went in for her surgery, I started to get very nervous. I found out that mommy could come in with me but I still got a little upset. It is a scary thing for a four year old to go through, you know?

I was very afraid when we went into the operating room but after they started giving me the medicine, I felt very tired and went to sleep within seconds.

When I was in the recovery room, right before I woke up, daddy did take a picture but mommy felt like it was a bit much to put here. I still had my breathing mask on.

Once I woke up though, I was UP! True to my personality, the second the breathing mask came off, I sat right up and asked for my popsicle. I also asked the nurse a million questions about my bandaids and IV. She did a good job answering them for me.

Mommy and daddy had given us some cozy pajamas the day before so we put them on once our surgery was over!

After about an hour or so in recovery, it was finally time to head home. We got a ride in the wheelchair to a special exit and headed out the door!
Mommy and daddy kept on telling me how proud they were of us and how brave we were throughout the whole morning.

Splish Splash...

Adelaide and I took a very soapy bath!

The Hills Are Alive...

With the sounds of Oliver and Adelaide!

When we were up in Maine, we headed over to Sunday River to ride the Chondola. We loved it! We went inside the gondola on our first ride and enjoyed riding to the top of the hill.

When we got to the top, we decided to hike to the next peak. Mommy originally started wearing her sneakers but switched to her Toms instead at the last minute. She didn't realize just how much hiking we'd be doing!

There were so many beautiful spots on the mountain.

We got to a chairlift where there wasn't another person in site. We decided it was a great place to have a pizza picnic.

On our way back to the chondola, we stopped for marshmallow pies. I was enjoying the view while Adelaide enjoyed the snack!







After we got to the bottom of the mountain, we decided to take one more ride up on the chairlift. We had a wonderful day!

Come Here Fishy...

I really like to fish. While in Maine a few weeks ago, daddy and I spent some quality time together fishing.

I also liked holding the fish and throwing them back in the lake.

Blueberry or Rainbow Cake?

While we were in Maine, we had a rainy day and decided to make some cakes. We made a rainbow and a blueberry cake. I decided that I would do a taste testing and decide which one I liked the best.

I was excited to try the rainbow cake!

I was also excited to eat the blueberry cake.

The verdict: I loved the rainbow cake!!!!

Storyland!

While on our Maine vacation, we went to Storyland! I went on my first roller coaster with daddy. I was so excited!

We also went on lots of other rides!





By the end of the day, I was tired so I rested in the balls for a bit. It was an awesome day!

Random Pictures!

I love when daddy cuts my hair (much to the chagrin of mommy)!
