It's been 2 months, so you'd think I'd have a lot to say...but acutally things are going pretty steady and uneventful here. First I'll tell you about Joey: He is doing great! He has gained almost 15lbs... only another 10 to go!! He is getting stronger every day. We go to the gym 3 days a week, so that has helped in many different ways. He has been doing a lot of work around the house and has mastered the laundry!! When I hear him complain to Caleb about getting his clothes down to the laundry room or the fact that he does not put away the clean clothes, it just kills me. Welcome to my world Joe!
My turn: I am scheduled for my final surgery on Nov. 1. I cannot wait to get this over with. It will require a couple of nights stay in Portland, but I am going to do my recouperating in Florida. Joey is headed down there on Nov. 5 and I am going down on Nov. 7 for a week. I think the sunshine and a little tan will help me get back on my feet for sure!! A friend needs some help decorating his new home, so I figure the shopping can be my exercise while I am gone!!
Dec. will bring the first 6 month scan for both of us. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed on this. It has been a long waiting period, so there is a little aprehension going along with this, especially for Joey. Positive thoughts, right??
Until next time, God Bless and {{hugs}} to all...
