Well.. just putting in an update.. it's been a while. I had my surgery.. it went ok.. it's amazing how much going for surgery reminded me of giving birth in a hospital.. scary.. made me cry.. I'll stick with homebirth if we have more.. I was feeling pretty good a few days ago but yesterday was feeling pretty bad.. really tender and swollen.. so I got some antibiotics.. the incision around my belly button was infected and my lymph glands in my groin were swollen like crazy.. it hurt to walk yesterday and I couldn't bend down without it really hurting like crazy. Mom and I went shopping yesterday.. We picked up some cute little shoes and a bathing suit for Tisha and got Drew his lightsaber so he can be Jedi with the other kids. We also grabbed 10 bags of sand for Joey's sandbox. Then we all went to free burger day at Harvey's. Matt and I made up an awesome trout dinner on the barbecue. Matt tried a new recipe for hot asparagus salad.. It was delicious!

well.. I'm done surgery.. that was yesterday.. I'm finally unstoned enough to type. Still in a bit of pain but no where near as bad as I thought it would be. They said my gallbladder was like a little bag packed with gravel.. with over 100 stones... and adhesions all over it.. so it was stuck to all my other internal organs because it had been inflamed for so long.. which explains why I was getting such bad attacks and so often.. I tried out a new pattern for Tisha's diapers.. Copied her Motherease dipes that I love.. only made them out of flannel and used velcro and they're pocket dipes.. Quite cute I'd say :) Sewed these the night before surgery and the morning before to keep my mind off of it. I think they turned out really nice.. I have some nice bamboo fabric coming in the mail to stuff them with so they should be quite absorbent.. I'm pretty excited about that. I can't wait to use them on her little bum.. they're so cute.. I also can't wait

well.. yesterday was fun.. so was the day before. Just a little post on what we've been up to. I hit the mall and the fabric store the day before yesterday. Got Tisha a couple new outfits and picked up a really cool pattern to make some outfits for when she's a bit bigger. I picked up this dress finally.. I've put it back 3 times before I bought it.. keep going back to the store.. keep picking it up. Bought the matching hat a few days ago.. It's not a very good picture cuz my camera is cranky lately. But you get the general idea. I was really really excited to find this pattern! It's a new pattern for matching cabbage patch kids clothes with kids clothes. and I picked up some dye to dye her diapers pretty colors :) this one was probably the best of the tie dyed ones..My friend's daughter Lorraine did it

ok.. first off.. went to the second hand shop today.. found a furskin! A real one! not a mass market one.. but an actual soft sculpture one! here he is chillaxin on the patio! and the cpk's I got at the flea market last weekend! a talker with her cup!! and .. just to show how futile it is to actually bath my dogs.. I bathed them 4 days ago.. here they are now. a cute little video of how joey washes his face.. a really cool ship Drew made out of lego.. Joey also wanted to show off a lego ship.. and how cute is this.. Joey knows the days of the week! that's all for now

A little video of how Tisha lets us know she wants to be picked up :) If you're reading this on facebook click "view original source" to see the video :)

thought this was kinda cool here's a pic of me 2 summers ago and here's a pic of me now! my face is definitely thinning out eh? :)
