enquiring minds want to know :)

Hi everyone!

So many of you have emailed me! THANK YOU-- I love getting your emails :)

You're probably SAD that I didn't respond yet!!! I am sorry!

I have a TRIFECTA of PAIN that is kicking my BUTT and I have never experienced anything like it:

a cracked / badly bruised tailbone
plus
a hematoma (huge blood blister resting on top of it to the left)
plus
swollen ankles--which those of you who've had these lovely things KNOW
that they're not just ugly and embarrassing, you actually have to shlep
you're tree trunk legs around and IT HURTS like the dickens.

Oh, and let's not forget your run-of-the-mill ORDINARY childbirth damage, which I sustained plenty of, you know what I'm talking about.

Basically, the COMBINATION means that, it's extremely difficult, if not impossible to be comfortable on any surface what-so-ever---AND---it's also extremely difficult to stand and walk around. GREAT! The doctor said today I will be laid up for 8 - 10 weeks like this. Good times.

So--I am a suffering patient. All my extra moments go to showering because it's the only type of renewal and rest I can get these days.

Plus---access to the internet at home has become a nighttime thing only. Dave takes the computer to work now.

In happier news, Lumbley has gained weight and surpassed his birthweight already! He was due to weigh in today around 8 lbs, and he was 8 lbs. 4 oz. What a cutie patootie! The Pediatrician gave us a gold star. :)

He is the most well-behaved, self-soothing infant I've come across, and he is so downy soft and sweet-natured. He seems to be a happy baby.

I don't know how Dave is doing because we never see eachother. Seriously! We knew it would be like this--it's TEMPORARY!!

So--I miss you, love you all, and sincerely appreciate your emails. AND I am so distracted with pain, hopped up on meds and just trying to get through the day these days with doggies, a disabled mom, and the baby and keeping Dave fed.

I PROMISE to respond soon!! xoxoxooxoxoxox.
