Thanksgiving 2010

This Thanksgiving wasn't that great....We got to Coolidge Wednesday night around 8:00pm and started cooking with Grandma right away but Addie was acting a little lethargic and clingy. We woke up Thursday morning excited to start cooking and watch the Macy's Parade (and the Patriot's game!) but again Addie was acting a little off. She wouldn't eat and didn't even want her juice. Around 2:00pm I was mashing potatoes in the kitchen and I heard my Mom yelling for me...Addie had thrown up all over the living room. She continued to throw up all day long. And the next day, and the next...and now today. As long as she has bland foods she is fine but if she eats something she normally would or has milk she barfs everywhere. I am taking her into the doctor tomorrow to get their opinion on it. So Thanksgiving was pretty stressful while trying to take care of a sick baby. Friday morning Andrew stayed home with Addie so I could go shopping with his Mom. We met at Kohl's at 2:30 in the morning! It was so worth it because I got Addie some awesome birthday and Christmas gifts! A Mickey Mouse ride on quad, a new Toy Story 3 table and chairs set, a toddler basketball hoop just to name a few! Plus I got all my nieces done as well. We were out shopping until 9:00am! CRAZY!

Addie's birthday party is next Saturday! We decided on a Mickey Mouse theme since he is her absolute favorite thing in the world. She loves Mickey Mouse, Toy Story and Spongebob. She will turn away anything Disney Princess in favor of those characters. I think I have a tomboy on my hands! That's ok with me... I love her all the same!

Andrew is going to be on vacation this whole week and I am beyond excited! We are just going to relax and have fun!

Addie is 22 months old!

I can't believe I am the Mama to an almost 2 year old! I am keeping myself busy planning her 2nd birthday party...hot pink and zebra print! It's gonna be CUTE! She is such a joy! She had her 18 month appointment yesterday (We had problems with her dr so we had to skip it and find a new dr) and it went great! She weighs 35.5 lbs and is 35 inches tall. The doctor is a little concerned that she is chunky for her age but said as long as we keep an eye on it she is fine. She had to get two shots which was definitely not fun but necessary.

My birthday is also coming up quickly...24 seems so old! Andrew bought me Beauty and the Beast as an early birthday gift! Addie and I watched it this morning and she is in love!

Not too much going on with us. Just enjoying life with our Little Miss Sweetness and eachother. I am so blessed beyond belief by my amazing little family. I am hoping that soon God will answer my prayers and bless us with another child.

Well I will try to stay on top of this better than I have been! Lots of love!

I've gone over to the dark side...

It's true. I am officially addicted to Twilight. It all started last week when I was up at 2am and Twilight came on one of my free movie channels...I thought, "hey, I just wanna see what all the buzz is about." and I was hooked the entire movie. I texted my friend Vanessa, a fellow Twilover, and asked her to borrow New Moon...I had to see what happened next. Her movie was blu-ray only...I almost died! Andrew bought me both movies for our anniversary! I watched New Moon as sooooon as we got home and loved it. I went and bought the first three books. I read Twilight on Wednesday, New Moon on Thursday and Eclipse today. I couldn't stop...couldn't put them down, lol. It's been quite a while since a series has had me this entranced. I went and bought Breaking Dawn so I can start it tonight and finish it tomorrow! My lovely friend Vanessa also bought us tickets to the Twilight special engagement which will include the first two movies and the midnight showing of Eclipse. Andrew is loving this, he loves teasing me and calling me a 13 year old girl lol. Anyway...I knew I could share it with my bloggy friends since my lovely husband just doesn't understand me!

How are we doing?

I get asked this question alot...I think it's because all of the drama we have encountered in 2010. The answer? AWESOME! Although this year has been tough and we have definitely hit some hurdles, the Kabbani family is stronger than ever! Andrew and I will celebrate our 9th "being a couple" anniversary on June 15th and our 4th wedding anniversary on June 17th! He is a wonderful, loving, funny, amazing man and I am sooo blessed to be his wife. He loves his new job and is very excited to start his Masters program next month. Addie is great...thriving, growing, learning and playing everyday! She is the sweetest girl and I am joyfully leading her everyday. I am doing well...anxious for us to have another baby. I have mixed emotions after our loss...some days I can't wait to have another baby and want to start trying right away. Then other days I feel apprehensive and scared. We are just taking it day by day and letting God decide when and if we will have another child. I am hoping to start at U of P soon to finish my degree. We moved into a townhouse in Tolleson...it's so cute. Much more "home-y" than an apartment. Next week is VBS (Vacation Bible School) at our Church so look out for some cute pictures! I am teaching Addie's class and I am really excited about it! We are getting Addie a fish, or a "pishie" as she calls it! She is still in love with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse but has added Dora, Ni Hao Kai Lan and The Wonder Pets to her favorites. She would watch TV all day if I would let her, but I limit her to 2 shows per day. She loves to play pretend...to pretend feed her babies (or me) or give her babies a bottle. It's so sweet. Well I should get off to bed..I will be back to post pictures tomorrow!

A much needed update...

Sorry I have been a terrible blogger. This month has been C-R-A-Z-Y! We did move to Coolidge...but moved back to Phoenix after a month. Coolidge is no beuno for the Kabbani Fam. We are moving into a cute little townhouse this weekend! YAY! I got a new tattoo...I don't have any pictures of it on this computer but it's super cute. I don't have much to update right now but I will once we get settled in our new place!

Poop. Everywhere.

This is what I have been encountering on a daily basis. Addie thinks that when she has poop she needs to immediately take her diaper off. Instead of say, coming to me so I can change her. It's disgusting. I hate poop. I am going to start hitting this potty training thing hardcore because all of the websites say she's ready.

We're moving on Saturday. I am in no way prepared for this move. I really need to get my crap together. We are going to be staying in Coolidge for a couple months while we figure out what to do about getting a house. I hate Chase...if it weren't for them I would be settled in my cute little house by now.

Andrew loves his job at U of P. He is #1 in his department...he rocks.

I need to get motivated today...like, right now.

Addie's Easter pictures!

Here are a couple pictures from Addie's session at Portrait Innovations today!
