A couple of things...

Still recovering from my surgery, but definitely getting better. I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic I was on to make sure I didn't get an infection.  My lips broke out in blisters, and my skin broke out in a rash, making me skin feel like sandpaper when it started to scab over. YUCK!!! But luckily its going away. I had my 2 week check up yesterday and he said my body must heal itself quickly, because my knee looks more like 3-4 weeks out then two. I had been doing my exercises he gave me and said my extension for two weeks was great. I am now able to put weight on my foot and he said I can work myself off of the crutches over the next two weeks. Once i feel comfortable walking without crutches, i can loose the brace. So, I'm down to one crutch today! Saw pics of my knee pre surgery and he said they did a joint test after I fell asleep where they take pics and use for learning purposes for students. And he said my knee literally popped out of socket whenever he would bend it. Ouch! Anywho, I'm just glad to be on the mend. You never really realize how much you use\need a leg until you do not have one! =)

So, here is a pic of my knee post surgery.

Also, our doggy added a 3 new faces to our household 3 weeks ago. They are pretty much some of the cutest little faces I have ever seen. =)

Hope everyone is having a great week. =)

Farewell....

I have everything packed and ready to go. Just waiting for Chris to get home and for the kids to get up from there naps. Then we are off to drop the kids off at grandma's and heading to the airport. I am so excited and nervous!! I cannot wait for our weekend! Plus, I'm sure my mom and Chris's mom will enjoy some quality time with their grandkids. Since their mommy is kind of a baby hog. =)

Anywho, I thought I would leave you a picture of all the babies at our house, YES, all of them, even though one is not ever mine. =)

And for my child that will never let me take her picture....
I love you all and can't wait to see you on Monday!!

Vegas bound....

Yes, you read that right....we are going to Las Vegas baby!! We are leaving this friday and coming back on monday. We were actually planning on going for Chris's birthday, but found a deal we couldn't pass up for this weekend!! I'm am very excited, but a little nervous too. I am worried about leaving my kids for that long. The little ones have NEVER been without their momma for that long. I didn't even let Keagan stay the night anywhere until she was 17 months old and I got put in the hospital with Deakon. =) So, Deakon being only 6 months old, this momma is a little nervous. I know THEY will be fine, its ME that I'm worried about. I'm hoping I will be able to enjoy this little getaway with my hubby and not miss all 3 of my babies too much. =)

As for anything else going on with us....Keagan got a stomach virus Wednesday night and woke me at 12:30 to a crib full of vomit. I caught it and woke up friday morning vomitting. It was by far the worst stomach virus EVER! My whole body hurt, and I just felt sick to my stomach every second of the day. Luckily, it only lasted about 24-48 hours. Chris woke up with it on Saturday morning. And saturday night, Farren came down with it. Poor guys, I felt so bad for everyone. Needless to say, I have now lost 17 pounds! Woohoo!! And as of this morning, both Keagan and Deakon are still snotty and have a cough. What is up? We have been to the doctor 4 times in the last month for this and they keep telling me it will go away within 7-10 days and to continue cough\congestion medicine. Its NOT WORKING!!! I feel so bad for them, I can hear them wake themselves in the middle of the night from coughing. Hopefully, we will all be well soon! Hope everyone is having a great week!
