Though Elliana had two teeth that came in at 4 months with really no apparent problems, this is definitely not the case for the 4 upper front teeth coming in now! She is having a terrible time with these. She is so miserable bless her heart. She wakes up several times a night with a low fever and is extremely fussy. This is not her usual self at all. She normally sleeps all night and never cries unless there's really something wrong. I can see where at least one tooth has already started breaking through, so hopefully it won't be much longer! Inga came for a visit this past Thurday through yesterday. It was great having her here. Elliana seems to really enjoy having company. Even though she was really miserable with those teeth, she loved having Inga here for a bit. Inga went with us to Elliana's 9 month check up on Friday. No shots for Elliana! This was unexpected (I didn't realize they didn't get shots at the 9 month visit), but wonderful for Elliana; especially considering she was already crabby with her teeth. I know shots would have just compounded her troubles. She is growing nicely, 17lbs and 7 ozs and 27 inches tall now! She's right on track for her development in all areas, thank the Lord!
We've had a couple of warm/hot days this past week. This is a bad reminder for a fat, pregnant woman that I am going to be absolutely MISERABLE by this September when baby number 2 should be here! However, it's good news for Elliana. She really loves the water and has gotten to play outside in her little duckie pool that I got for her at the consignment sale a few weeks ago. She splashes around and chews on all her bath toys. She's so cute in her swim suit! It also seems to take her mind off her bothersome teeth for a bit.
Bryson and I will hopefully know the gender of baby number 2 by this Friday! Of course it all depends on *IF* he/she cooperates with us. We are eager to find out, but are definitely more interested to see that this baby is healthy and that things are going well. Knowing our baby is doing well is most important to us. Boy or girl- we'd love either and will be happy with whichever God decides to give us. It will be nice just knowing which so we can hopefully find a name soon!
We still haven't heard anything back about Bryson's second job interview in Chattanooga. This is definitely typical of T.V.A.. They take forever to get anything done. I guess that's true with most any government job. We are still just praying God's will will be done whatever that outcome.
Marianne and Brilee are coming up later today to see Elliana. They are on spring break this week, so they get to stay Monday too. Brilee will be having knee surgery on Thursday. She's been having a lot of trouble out of that knee for a year now, so hopefully this will help her. That poor kid has had more surgery at 14 than most people have in a lifetime! I'm sure Elliana will be excited to see them, and of course Bryson and I will as well. :) Looks like that's all I've got for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and a great week!
I think this is her hint that she wants to go outside :)

Lounging in her pool
I think she's decided pool time is over

Sweet little smile even though you can tell she doesn't feel very good.
