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. =)

What momma did this weekend...

I have been meaning to update, I promise I have. I have been getting occassional ones in here. But my days, evenings, and weekends seem to be so packed up right now. I have been thinking of going back to work, and have been to 3 interviews in the last two weeks for that. Also, Deakon has been sick for almost a month now. Ear infection, ear infection that didn't go away, finally it did, and then tonsalitis (sp?). Anyway, I THINK he is finally on the mend, he still has a small rash, but is in a much better mood and no temp. My neice and nephew came up and stayed with us for a few days, and we have finally transitioned Keagan to the BIG GIRL potty, no more little potty and having to empty it every time she goes. Thank god for that, now we just have to get her a stool she can use to get up there by herself. Also, I've been making cakes for birthdays and baby showers. All in all, momma has been busy. In return, my blog has been neglected. Anywho, here are the cakes I did this weekend. Hope everyone is doing well!!

I just love love love doing this!

Penicillin Reaction

This is what happens to baby "D" when he has any sort of penicillin. Poor little guy, this is a couple of days in, so it actually looks better. We are several days out now and we are pretty much back to normal. On a better note, his ears looked good, which is what he was on the medicine for in the first place. "D" has surgery on thursday at Cooks. I'm a little nervous, but I am certain everything will go smoothly. Friday we go back to double check the ear infection didn't come back since he is off the meds, and to get shots, since he has been sick since he was suppose to have them. We have a pretty busy week!!!

Staying motivated....

Well, I figured since I am probably done having kids.....probably....ha ha! Just kidding...we are done. Anyway, I figure its time to lose the baby weight and the happy marriage weight. =) Now seems like the perfect time. Its the beginning of a new year, I can no longer breastfeed, and well, I'm just tired of carrying it around. =) I started a new diet last tuesday and as of today, I have lost 13 pounds. Not to shabby. Hopefully, by summer, I will have shed all the weight I want to . Not that I will ever be able to wear a bikini again, thanks to c sections and stretchmarks. =) Soooooooooo...here is to staying motivated! And to anyone out there trying to shed some baby weight, or just trying to shed weight. Good luck, I'm right there with you!!!

My motivation....

Where is my makeup??
