For Miranda...

Meadow asked me to put up a post to let you all know (especially Miranda) that she made it through the surgery and all went well (though she feels like she is barely alive). She will post more as soon as she is feeling up to it.
Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support!

Tick, tick, tick

Time flies by so fast.
As I walked up to preschool to pick up Orin yesterday and he came running towards me I thought, how can this be? I remember so vividly as if it were yesterday Eadie being in his same place. Eadie was the one running towards me and telling me all about her day at preschool.
Sitting here now, I just want to cry thinking of how fast my babies are growing up. How can Teya possibly be going into young women's this year? How can Eadie possibly be in first grade and growing more and more independent? How can Orin already be in preschool? And how can my baby not be a baby anymore, but a toddler?
I am reminded over and over again that you just have to cherish every moment.
Time flies by so fast!

Orin's first day of preschool

Today is Orin's first day of preschool. I don't think I've ever seen him as excited for something his whole life as he was to start school. We went on Monday to the open house and his teacher gave him a school bag that has his name on it. He was so happy to have a bag for school like the girls do.

The excitment of my life

Things just seem to get better and better. I went to see my OB/GYN today and I'm going to have a hysterectomy and a vestibulectomy at the same time as my shoulder and hand surgery. I'm REALLY not looking forward to it. I'm going to be a complete mess.
I'm having a hysterectomy for my pelvic congestion syndrome. I had felt better for several months being on the progesterone but for the last five or six months it has gotten really bad again and I have pelvic pain almost all the time. I really didn't want to have a hysterectomy when I was first diagnosed with pelvic congestion but after praying about it and doing some research I feel like it's the right thing.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the vestibulectomy but basically I have been having pain for about the last four months from the episiotomy that I had when I had Teya. I tried a Rx he prescribed for two months and it didn't help so he is going to cut part of it out. Fun huh?
I think the surgery is still going to be on the same day but we're getting it all worked out. I was having it at a surgical center but now I have to have it at a hospital because I have to stay over night. The doctor's have to coordinate everything and get it all worked out. I should know by tomorrow what's going on.

Afghan

I started working on this afghan at the end of last year and I just finished it Sunday night. I didn't know what to do with all the yarn I had left over from making stuff so I decided to make them into squares and make them into an afghan. I think it turned out really good!
