All the Rigamarow

My son absolutely cracks me up.  Right as I got ready to start typing, he walked up to me, gave me a huge, killer smile and said, "I toot-id".  What a nut.

I can't believe that this tiny baby I brought home almost 20 months ago...


Has become this BIG boy who is going through clothes faster than I can buy them!



I went in search of shoes for this not so little man today and had to, again, thank God for Once Upon A Child (C) He's gone from a size 4 to a size 6 in shoes in about 2 and a half months!  I don't know if you've priced toddler shoes lately, but even for off brand, they run about $9-15.  Were he staying in shoes for a longer amount of time I wouldn't mind buying those at all, but since he apparently sprinkles his food with Mir@cle Grow when I'm not looking, I check consignment stores before ANY others. We made it out with 2 warm shirts, 2 books, 2 pairs of socks and 6 or 7 pairs of shoes for $28.00.

We are in the home stretch now and under 40 days until we are supposed to be able to pick Jeff up.  The plan right now is that my mom, dad, Kamden and I will leave for Wisconsin on January 13th and drive up over a period of two days.  Then Jeff, Kamden and I will stay for 2-3 weeks and spend time with the family and our friends up that way before coming back to Texas to start a new chapter in our lives.  It seems so crazy that a full year has already passed.  In some ways, it doesn't feel it's been that long at all.  In others it seems so much longer.

I'm recovering well from my knee surgery and thank God that we were able to get it done before our insurance changes.  I've admittedly done a few too many things during the day for the last several days and I tend to pay for it at night, but so long as I will actually take down time at night and will ice it, it seems to be as good as new by morning.

I suppose I should wrap this up and get things going for tomorrow night's MOPS meeting.

God Bless you all who take the time to read, and I'll do my best to post more often.

    Oh wow, I didn't know you had knee surgery. Glad you are feeling better. Around here they have Mom2Mom sales-like indoor garage sales where you can get great like new clothes, shoes, toys, baby gear, for dirt cheap. I have already bought tons of shoes for about a buck a piece. My LO is going through a growth spurt too.

The Best and Worst Night Ever

Image
We left for our church's annual Memorial Day cookout around 5:30 on Sunday afternoon, May 29th.  I was having a few strange pains when we got there, but it was over 100 degrees so I thought that I was possibly getting dehydrated again since I'd just gotten out of the hospital late the night before.  We spent about an hour there before I told Jeff that I just didn't feel well and thought we should go home.  I was continuing to have the pains, however now going to the bathroom wasn't helping them get any better. We got home around 7:30 and I drank some water and laid on my left side.  That way, if I were having false labor, the contractions would stop, and hopefully I'd curb any dehydration that was starting on me again.  Laying down helped things for about an hour and a half.  Around 9:15, I told Jeff I thought we ought to call Dr. S., just in case he wanted me to be observed or something.  After talking with him, we decided to force fluids and wait o...

I Blame Wisconsin

Image
Okay, being that I haven't lived in Wisconsin in over 3 years, I can't really say that I can place blame there.  I got a letter from my primary care doctor's office this week and was told that my bad cholesterol is high.  I am doing my best to not beat myself up but to not foo foo it away as nothing.  I only need to bring it down about 20 points, so I know it could be way worse.  I know that the first thing everyone thinks of is fatty foods, dairy overload or something similar but after reading up on it, I found out that stress can cause it to rise too.  Apparently when highly stressed, the body doesn't break down foods as well and can cause cholesterol issues. So, in addition to changes in my diet, I'm going to attempt to "de-stress" my life. I know that being stress free is impossible as there are both good and bad stressors we face daily, but there are things I can change to make things less stressful for me. Things like: Asking for help Gett...
