♥ My Son ♥

I have some great news!  My son got to come back & live with me again!  I am so excited about this because he lived with me for a year back in 2008 to November of 2009 & then his dad just ripped him out of my arms with no advance warning.  It was heartbreaking for my son & I & I got really depressed over it.  It was hell not having him live with us.  Last week, that all changed!  His dad decided that it was in my son's best interest that he come live with us again! We are so happy he's back!  He is a totally different kid when he's with us.  He morphs into this sweet little angel...it's just amazing how much his personality changes!  

I love him & know that with each day that passes, he will continue to become my sweet little angel again.

♥ An Update ♥

I haven't wrote in awhile so I figured I would do so now while I have some time. 

Friday night was going great...My man had been out of town & gotten home & decided to take us all out for dinner at Senor Salsa's.  I had the amazing shrimp dish that I always get & it was delicious as it has been every time I've gotten it.  The kids loved it & we all enjoyed our dinner.  We left the restaurant & came home to relax & we were fixing to sit down & watch a movie when all of a sudden a severe sharp pain started in my abdomen.  It was so horrible that it made me extremely nauseated.  I was in the bathroom every 5 minutes only to sit there & not be able to go.  My BF decided that he was taking me to the emergency room whether I wanted to go or not & said either to let him take me or he was calling an ambulance, so figuring I had no option to stay home & wait it out, I let him take me. 

We got there around 9:00pm & sat there forever.  I finally got called back around 3:00am & they put an IV in & drew blood, pumped me full of an anti-nausea medicine & morphine & then made me drink this nasty dye so they could do a CT scan.  It was horrible, but the morphine wasn't half bad.  After the CT scan, the doc comes in & says everything looks fine & I'm just hurting from the surgery...gives me a script for a few pain pills & out the door we go.  

I'm not sure what made the pain so severe, but I'm hoping & praying that it doesn't come back. 

I'm doing ok now.  A few pains here & there, but nothing like it was.  My man & kids are being so helpful & taking care of the cleaning & cooking until I get better.  I'm so thankful that I have them here with me. 

Well, that's all for now, but be on the lookout for a few more blogs in the next few days...I have been taking some pictures of random moments in our household & will be sharing them soon! :)

♥ Surgery update ♥

Surgery went well this morning...I am sore from the incisions & the gas they ballooned my belly up with trying to escape, but other than that my pain seems to be bearable. (with medication of course!)

Earlier, we had a little problem...I had went to use the restroom & was taking a glance in the mirror as I passed by & noticed that I looked a little yellowish.  I went to get 5 second opinions & they all said I was looking a little yellowish too, so I called the doc.  The nurse said that as long as I'm feeling ok it shouldn't be an issue, but if I start feeling sick or if I'm still yellow in the morning I have to go to the doctor to have some bloodwork done.  I'm hoping it's just my body adjusting to the changes or something & that all will be well in the morning...I guess we'll find out in the am!

I want to say a special thanks to my sister & nephew & my mom for coming up & being there while I was in surgery!  I love you all!

I also want to thank my man for being there with me & literally holding my hand while we were waiting.  He is being absolutely AMAZING with his caring for me skills!  He helps me up & down, gets me whatever I need, makes me food, holds me when I'm cold, talks to me when I'm upset, does anything & everything he can for me or whatever I ask him to do!  I sure am one lucky girl and I might add...he sure is one lucky guy! :)

My bestest friend & her family sent me a flower bouquet! Aren't they beautiful! 

I don't normally post personal pics of this nature but Mr. Amazing took a few earlier so I figured why not?  I thought it was kinda funny that they forgot to take one of the leads off from the heart monitor...guess it's not really that funny but the pain meds & how I was just feeling around & found it was pretty funny lol....okay probably just to me! :)

Enjoy! or not so much...lol

♥ A Quick Update ♥

Just wanted to write a quick update about a few things...I have been having horrible pain since Saturday & decided to hit the ER today because it just became unbearable even with pain meds.  They think I have an ulcer because of my gall bladder not functioning properly.  They gave me an awesome (NOT) GI cocktail which is some meds mixed together that numbs the GI tract, prevacid & some pain medicine.  I still hurt after all that but it took the edge off.  On Wednesday, I have surgery to remove my gall bladder & repair my small umbilical hernia.  Everyone's telling me that I won't miss it & after the pain I've had the last few days...I'm beyond ready!

My wonderful, amazing boyfriend has been taking such good care of me & the munchkins!  He's a Godsend for sure!  He is going to end up spoiling me...I'm not used to being treated like a Princess.  He makes me feel so loved & so comfortable.  I can be myself around him & it's awesome!  We have so much fun together!  We goof off & are always having a good time no matter what we are doing. It's amazing how he can lift my mood if I'm having a rough day.  He always seems to say what I need to hear at just the right time.  I've never had anyone read me like this & it's crazy, in a good way.

   We got into a discussion today about officially being boyfriend & girlfriend & who said it first & yadda yadda....later on in the day, I said, so are you my boyfriend?  He says, "Let me put it this way...we may never get married but I'm your next husband.  I'm never letting you go."  I have no idea how to take this comment...I kind of dug a little deeper & asked what he meant & he just said he doesn't need a piece of paper telling him he's committed to someone & I feel the same way, on one hand, but on the other hand, marriage means something to me & it's more than just a piece of paper.  We aren't even talking about getting married anytime soon at all & it's crazy how the simplest conversation can turn into something deeper & more complex in a heartbeat.  I guess it's kind of like relationships in that sense. 

I'm just so glad I finally met the man God made for me....it's so amazing, which seems to be the word I use a lot to describe him as well as our relationship.  It's the only word that fits absolutely perfectly!

♥ Proud Little Lady ♥

My youngest little cutie pie had a loose tooth the other night & wiggled it til it came right out!  She worked & worked on getting it out without my help & she did a great job!  She is so proud that she got it out all on her own!

Now she is front 'toof-less!'  She sounds funny when she talks & it is just adorable!  She is so excited to put it under her pillow tonight so the Tooth Fairy can visit!


Time for the Tooth Fairy to collect her tooth!
