Ok...so I totally had this huge post typed out. Then, I was looking to spell check it (you can never spell check too much!) I think I pressed something funky, because I totally lost my post! So mad! Anyway, this post won't be nearly as long, or nearly as witty (I am sure you are so bummed!) but I will try to post what I remember!
***************
First off, I just want to say Congrats! to Kristen and Audrey on their new babies. I love reading about new babies. It brings me back to my first days with Ethan. It is so exciting, tiring, and just plain wonderful. I cherish those memories and I am sure all you new mommies will too. I am super jealous of all of you! Makes me seriously want another child...uh oh!
Also, just wanted to update on my BIL. He is doing so so much better. We are really proud of him. He still has a lot of pain in his arms and hands. Like, serious pain. The doctors say that it is due to swelling. They think he will probably wake up one morning and the pain will have disappeared. That seems to weird to me. I cannot imagine having such serious pain in my arms that I beg the doctors to cut them off (which he has done) and then wake up one day and it be gone. I pray that day comes soon. Other than that pain, he is feeling better. He desperately wants to get back to normal, which I view as a good sign. They say that people with injuries like that tend to rely on pain medicine for quite a while. He tries every day to go longer and longer without his pain medicine, so that, to me, sounds promising.
Things are starting to get crazy here. We are travelling almost every weekend starting this weekend until the end of July. Most are just weekend trips, but there are a few that are a little longer. I love doing it, but I just wonder how Ethan will handle it. Hopefully he will hang in there!
In the post that I just lost, I had my "ode to cheese." I LOVE cheese. I talk about it because I have decided I really want to eat better. Cheese is so bad for me, but I love it so much. How do I give up something I love so much. I don't think I can. My point to this is....I really want to eat better. I really HAVE to eat better...I just need to figure out how.
