Life has been WILD. Pete has been over the road it seems like more then he's been home. While it's hard to have him gone, we are very thankful for the work! He has also been able to see some new places like Canada, Texas and South Carolina. He had a chance to go to Denver yesterday but we passed it up because.... I NEEDED HIM HOME!
I had to have my appendix removed on Christmas Eve. Yes.. more drama to add on to 2009. The baby is ok and I am feeling much better so we have alot to be thankful for. However, I haven't been able to have much pain control because of the pregnancy and I am not able to lift anything over 10lbs or drive. Being the mom of a 1 1/2 year old requires alot of lifting so I've been relying ALOT on family and friends.
The baby has been kicking like crazy and is constantly reminding me that it's still doing good. One out of four babies do not survive the surgery so we are constantly thankful to have this baby in our lives still. Pete came home from South Carolina at 3:30am and took me to the ER at 4:30 am and I was out of surgery at 2pm... so it was a wild Christmas Eve for us!! I came home from the hospital on Christmas and we've been staying with my mom and dad since. Pete has been wonderful. I do not have the words to explain his love for me and my love for him...and how thankful I am to have a husband who shows it to me even when I'm tired, in pain and so very emotional. I am crying all the time, lol.
We are planning on going to WI this weekend for our Christmas with his family.... but I am praying that it's not too much. I am telling myself I'll take it easy, so hopefully I will!! We are just planning on relaxing and giving my parent's a break :) Our plan is to be back to normal on Monday, which will be 10 days after the surgery. I have a doctor's appointment and I will also be able to drive and lift Makenzie again.
That is one of the MANY reasons I cannot WAIT for 2010!!!!
