I Can Walk Again!

Well, sort of ...

I finally went to my post-op appointment. I have been waiting for this day it seems longer than a week and a half. 

He says, I can start putting weight on my leg, but I still have to use my crutches. So that means I still can't hold my babies and walk at the same time. Or hold anything rather. Pooh. 

Starting Monday I can start full weight bearing if I feel comfortable. I think I can! I think I can! 

I met another therapy patient at the physical therapy facility I go to the other day. She had surgery twice on her knee cap because it was moving. Or something like that. She had to be on crutches no weight bearing at all for six weeks! Six weeks! I was only like that for a week and a half. I was about to lose my marbles! I could not even imagine it. Like. Seriously. Six. Weeks. 

I can even get my leg wet! Well, I could get it wet before, just not the stitches. But, I didn't want to take any chance on getting the stitches wet, so I didn't wet my leg at all.... Let that sink in. You do not even want to know how hairy my legs were. I felt the need to profusely apologize for each raunchy hair at my appointment. Thank God razors have been invented. 

So, for the mean time, my little sweetness has to get her hugs and loves in bed, or in a chair, or in a Huffalump's hair (take that Dr. Seuss!)

Bye y'all!

The Art of Gift Giving

Giving a gift to someone special is well, special. The gift shows how you may feel about them, and how well you know them. I love to give gifts that are different. I am not always able to give those creative gifts every year, because frankly, I can't find anything or it's too dang expensive. Everyone loves gift cards and money. I still give those kind of gifts too. These gifts aren't expensive, but they are different, and really neat. Yes, I just said neat. Ha.

I found this cute Sideways Initial Necklace on Etsy. There are three different finishes to choose from, and it's only $34! 

                                         

Every woman/girl wants that go-to eye shadow pallet that never fails. Wait no more! This is it. This is Too Faced's Natural Eye Neutral Eye Collection from Sephora. Get this for $38!

I don't drink whiskey, but my husband does. I just think that this is the coolest thing! The Whiskey Ball comes in a one, two, and four pack option. There are also gift options available. The two pack option is only $19.95. 

Everything from this site is magnificent and not to mention beautiful! The prices are great and it will make any mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, or friend feel special. This candle is $30 and would pair nicely with a hot bath and LolliaLife.com bath bubbles.

Happy shopping!

Like Daddy Like Daughter

As much as it stinks being stuck in my bed or my reclining yard chair. I am so grateful to know that my kids are taken care of. Hubby has exceeded expectations for this last week that he's helped with everything.

To be honest I was a little excited about not having to run to every cry and need. Us mothers need our time to ourselves every now and then, whether it's from a getaway weekend or surgery. With this time of me not being available, Ava has really taken to him which is just what we all needed.

With Jeremy being gone every two weeks for two weeks this time has allowed her to really get to know her daddy and only her daddy. He would bring her into the room and lower her down so I could give her a kiss and she would start to fuss. That might hurt some mom's feelings, but not me. That child has been attached to my hip for the past one and a half years. Not to mention growing inside of me for nine months. I love her to pieces don't get me wrong. It was nice to see that attention focused elsewhere.
