I know - it's been a while

Yes I am aware how long it has been since I last posted. Let's see. Since going back to work I feel GREAT. I have enjoyed every minute of being back. These last two months have flown by. Now I am getting ready for the reversal surgery. That is scheduled for June 6. So I have one more week before I go under the knife again.

I have to admit I am a bit nervous. Before I didn't know what I didn't know. Now I know what I know and some of the things I know are not pleasant to deal with.

For the last two weeks I have spent every spare minute checking research papers. I finally got those checked today. I told Dan that I feel like I need to nest-I'm trying to get everything in order before next week. Today we opened the pool and I pulled out some ornamental grass that has gotten away from me, yesterday I trimmed the scrubs, I'm trying to keep up on my laundry and keep the house in order.

Before, because it was such an emergency, we survived day-by-day. This time
I want to be prepared, both while I'm in the hospital and when I get home. The thing I'm most looking forward to, when all this is said and done, is eating fresh vegetables, especially homemade salsa.

It has definately been a journey. Going through this had made me mentally stronger. While I don't wish this for anybody-I do feel better than I have in a long time.

Kiddie Table

Even though Matt is almost 24 years old he still eats at the kiddie table. From what Matt told us about the table talk - I think it was more like Matt coaxing the boys to eat and Paige talking about anything and everything.

Nest

The other day I was outside trying to get my flower boxes in order for spring planting. This is what I saw in one of the hanging baskets on the back patio. I am going to leave it alone and wait for the birth of the babies. I'm kind of excited.
