I'm Here!

I haven't posted for awhile once again. Something about having a baby in the house and trying to keep up with normal things I need to get done first seems to get in the way of blogging. For some reason my family insists on silly things like eating every day. It's quite irritating. Once we get in more of a routine, I imagine things will get easier.  It also didn't help that I had a minor surgery on Monday. Remember me talking about my ginormous outie belly button while I was pregnant? Turns out I got a bit of a hernia with this pregnancy, so I got that fixed on Monday.  I've never had a surgery before, so I didn't realize how it would completely knock me out and slow me down for a few days. I felt great yesterday and overdid it, so now I'm paying for my yesterday's energy burst today. :(  I'm trying to take it easy today and get some rest, but I'm not sure how successful I am at that. I think the rest part would be easier if I didn't have a newborn. Said newborn also has a bad habit of happily kicking my incision area/swollen tummy while she nurses. That doesn't feel so good. I'm getting good at holding her down while she eats.

And just so we don't have a post devoid of cute baby pictures, here you go.  Keilah likes to fall asleep in random places - like the middle of the floor. She'll be kicking and playing one minute and asleep the next.  It's cute and always makes me smile to come across this sleeping child in various places.

My big six week old baby!

    Pay strict attention to weight limits on lifting after abdominal surgery! I learned the hard way!

    Your post made me giggle about the eating part. Your father has the same annoying habit of wanting something to eat 3 times a day...and a few snacks mixed in. It must be hereditary !!!!!!

    Funny thing, the Burkholders and Flemings like to eat 3 times a day as well! Yes, take care of yourself and follow weight-lifting limits. Let me know if you need help, MomK

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
