Beautiful weekend ahead!

Well a quick update on me - I'm doing good. Still recovering from the surgery but feeling well! I have a follow up appointment next Fri so I will probably know more details of the surgery and information after that. I'm just so happy now that everything is ok. This has been such a big burden on me lately that I have not been myself.

Tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be beautiful. I'm thinking about taking 1/2 day from work tomorrow just so I can enjoy it and spend some time with the baby before I leave. We have a bunch of stuff we need to do in the yard that I want to get started on this weekend with it being nice. So we will probably be mulching and weeding and trimming all weekend. But I will love being outside again without all this rain we have had!

I am going to Nashville for work on Sunday morning and I come home Weds afternoon around 1:30. It should be a good trip. I was in Nashville last year for work and it was under water so it will be nice to be able ot actually see some of Nashville. I get in early on Sunday and there is nothing until Sunday night for the show so I am going to do some sight seeing most of the afternoon I think. Can't wait!

Baby girl is doing so good! She has now learned how to wave hi back to people (just started that yesterday). About 2 weeks ago she said her first real word - dada. She also says hi sometimes too now. It's just adorable. I'm so in love with her cuteness it's not even funny. I can't believe that in 2 short months she will be 1! Once I get back from my trip it's time to start planning her party! We are just going to do something at the house with family and friends. A cookout probably - hopefully it's nice. We are going to get the house in order just in case it's not so people can be upstairs or downstairs if it's not nice out. I think it will be a pink and black theme because what princess doesn't love pink and black!

Update from Surgery

So my surgery was yesterday. What a crazy day! My mom showed up a few mins late so we were hightailing it to the wurgery center. On my way there I got a call from my doc office that I was supposed to be there for the pre-op consult. I had no idea about it though! Thank goodness it was in the same building so I ran up there first real quick to have the consult. I pretty much knew what was going on already so they just had me sign the form and I did talk to the doc real quick. I went back down to the first floor and checked in for my surgery. They came out and got me and took me back. Had me change and do my IV.Then Ben came back and sat with me until they took me in to surgery. I was back in the surgery room for about 15 mins before they put me out. When I woke up I was in the post surgery area. I vaguely remember someone telling me that everything was ok. But at the time I had no idea what that meant. I tend to be pretty emotional when I wake up out of anesthesia. Then I could have swore I heard them saying something about me coming back for laproscopy and something else. So I was a wreck. They were trying to reach Ben, come to find out he had came home. I gave them his number and they finally called him and he headed on his way back up. Then my doctor came in and she told me that everything went great! They must have been talkin about someone else when I overheard them earlier!! They removed the debris (which wasn't scar tissue - it was ) and there was one 'bump' up farther in my uterus they removed as well but everything is fine. I could not be more relieved. I started bawling when she told me she was able to get everything out. I guess it took about 50 mins for the surgery. When I came out I was tacacardic which is why they told Ben I would be in recovery. I can honestly say things could not have gone any better!!! I'm so happy right now. I have to be on estrogen pills for the next month just to help my uterus heal but then we should be fine.:) I'm thrilled right now. I'm not feeling too bad today. I still hurt a bit and some cramps and my had hurts where my IV was but not feelin to bad.

Today is kind of a sad day for me though...I was supposed to be in a wedding today with some friends we had a following out with :( It makes me sad to not be there and see it.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's out there!

My first Mother's Day this year was just wonderful. Baby slept through the night last night and slept until 7:30 :)  Then we got up and hubby gave me his present from him and the baby. They got me a Nook Color. I'm so excited - I love it! I used my mom's on a trip last week for work to Florida and I was in love. She just had the regular one - hubby decided to go with the color one because it is better rated.

Then we went to lunch at 2 pm with my parents, his mom and her b/f and us at Piatto Novo at the Sheraton Suites in Cuyahoga Falls. It was a brunch and it was REALLY good. Baby was starting to get a bit tired though so she was a bit fussy and very hungry for some reason. Ben's mom got me a tank, a willow tree figurine, and a gift card to coldstone yummmm. After we left there we stopped at Best Buy and picked up a B&N gift card for me to use with my Nook (he got at $25 gift card with the purchase of the Nook to Best Buy so I used it to get the B&N gift card). Finally it was off to home and I laid down for a nap for a bit. It was nice and relaxing and baby slept the whole time too. I think hubby even took a nap! So all in all a wonderful first Mother's Day!

I also want to say a special Happy 10 month birthday to my little girl! I love her so much. I can't believe she will be 1 in 2 months...I'm already a wreck thinking about it!

I also am having surgery on Friday :( I'm so nervous and not ready at all for the outcome. I keep praying that everything goes ok but I'm just not sure. I have been really struggling with it recently and while no one really knows about what's going on except a few close people I'm sure it shows that something isn't right. I've just had too much on my mind. It's hard to think at 25 I won't be able to have more children - it's devastating to me. I wanted at least 1 maybe 2 more. Although Ben joked with me the other day that he would pay a million dollars to keep me happy if we have to pursue some other options. We will see. I'm holding out hope that this surgery will work and the doctors will be able to do what they need to. I've been praying a lot about it and just hoping that God will give me a miracle here.

I went to Orlando last week for my first tradeshow of the year and it was also my first time away from the baby. That was sooo hard but I was sooo glad when I came back home. I leave again on May 22nd to go to Nashville for another show. Then I don't think I travel again until August to Las Vegas for another one. So work has been pretty busy and crazy but it's at least keeping me preoccupied from *other* things on my mind. And I love being out with my field sellers and seeing them.

Baby has a doctors appt tomorrow - she has a diaper rash that we just haven't been able to get rid of! Hoping the doctor can find something to fix her right up tomorrow! I'm also in my last week of physical therapy from my accident. I'm doing much better, but I"m still having pains here and there. I'm glad I finally got my car back this past Weds after over 6 weeks of not having it. I still have to take it back though because they put some one else's wiper arms/blades on our car. I stopped there Sat but the guy we were dealin with wasn't there and no one else knew anything about it?? I was so mad - how could you not tell someone about that considering they told us to stop in anytime and they would fix it. Plus something is wrong with the balance on the tires. Once you get up to 60 or so on the highway it gets loud in the car and there is a vibration through the whole thing. It sucks!

Well I think thats all for now with the updates. I am going to really try to update more often so it doesn't get to be so much to update on!
