Another quiet and peaceful Sunday. :)

Yup, today was quite nice. Slept in a bit, went to church (which was wonderful), took a nap (after, for those of you who may be thinking during), read some of my book, now we are watching Masterpiece Mystery. That's what I call a very productive day. :)

After Friday I needed a couple days break. Although Friday was great fun and very enlightening, it wore me out crazy like. My mumsy and I decided it was high time that we went to the Seattle Art Museum. High time. So, off we went. Thanks to complimentary passes for patients and caregivers from SCCA, no charge, no problemo. Can I just confess one thing about myself that most of you may not know? I could spend a day wandering through art museums. No really. I am so slow in art museums that I normally have to go alone to spare anyone else. :) I'm that person that will find a painting I like and sit down in front of it and look at it forever until I have every inch memorized given the chance. Due to the fact that about three hours into our art viewing pleasure my legs started to kill, we kinda sped through the last few rooms and moved on. 

We took a quick trip down to the parking garage for some munchies we had in our cooler and some mucho needed leg rest. We hung out for a bit snacking and reveling over the art museum, but even though both of us had aching bones in our legs, there was a little shop that my madre wanted to go to about 5 blocks from the museum. Down on the waterfront. So, down to the waterfront we went. It was actually quite a nice day, in the shade. We just wandered on down to the shop, bought some fun stuff for family members and decided it was high time for some ice cream. High time! So, a huge scoop of Butter Pecan for mom and Huckleberry for me and we were set. Then up a couple hills back to the museum where we had parked.Then home we went to crash and relax. It was a great great day. Oh, and I forgot to give you one of my mother's confessions about art. She is VERY talented. I have been asking her for a painting for years, but no....... silly mother of mine. 

Anyhooooo. :) So, then yesterday, my legs pretty much needed to recover. I hung about the apartment and wrote cards and such. My mom did get out and go grocery shopping for a bit, but I didn't tag along. It was the beginning of a long, quiet weekend. Lovely. Lovely.

As for my health, all seems to be well. No relapses since Tuesday. I often think of how lucky I am on my recovery. I really have had it easy. I don't have any BC pills yet, and we will have to wait and see on that. I'm sure that adding a new medication will put a fun spin on my health for a minute, but hopefully it won't be too bad. With that, I am on the path of slowly reducing all of my other medications. It's great to hear that within a couple weeks or so I will be down a couple pills and then a couple weeks past that, possibly on the way home. If I were on a mission, my companions would all call me trunky. Eager to be home with my babies. Eager to find a place to live and start again.

Oh, and to finish it all out tonight. I think that my hair is growing back. I have peach fuzz where there used to be total bald. Wahooooooooooo!!!!

Another A day..... A+ if I do say so myself :)

A day equals A was here. Just in case you were wondering. Ah, A, how we adore him. He had to come up to Seattle for the day again so we got to hang out a bit. Guess what we spent the majority of our time together doing..... finishing a puzzle. Aren't we the most exciting people in the world? Hey, puzzles are great and A is so stinkin' skilled. Seriously, if they made puzzling an Olympic Sport, A would win Gold.

Alrighty, so A was here and we had a calm day. I did have one appointment in the middle of the day that kinda put a wrench in doing anything MORE exciting than a puzzle and poor A had to hang out in the lobby with my mom during this appointment. :) jk. I didn't think that he wanted to come to a Gynecological consultation. Nope, probably not. I didn't even tell him what the appointment was, just that I had one and I would be out shortly. It wasn't a biggie. All the doc and I did was sit and chat about the fact that for two months now, nuthin'. I wanted to make sure that was normal and that hot flashes were normal and that cramps without any actual cycle was normal, ya know. Apparently yes.

The Busulfan I took, one of my chemos, basically ruined whatever it is in my body that creates Estrogen. So, in order to regulate the Estrogen, which would take away all these crazy side effect, apparently, she is recommending that I go on a low dose BC pill. Basically for the rest of my life. Well, unless I'm trying to get pregnant, which we don't even know if that is possible, or if I'm producing eggs anymore or even if I have eggs, they may not be healthy enough to be fertilized. Pretty much they tell everyone that goes through this process that they WON'T have children of their own, but I say two things: If I am meant to have children I will; and if I can't I will take H's advice and adopt a brood of ethnic children. :) Wow, fellas reading this, was that too much info? Sorry. I'm sure you will recover. So, I will be starting BC pills supposedly this weekend and I should start feeling more like myself at 32 not some menopausal age. :)

Now, I have a couple silly stories. Well, one is an anecdote for Optimism and one is a true life Dani-is-a-dork story. Anecdote first. A cancer patient wakes up one morning with only three hairs on her head. She says, "Excellent, I will make a braid." The next morning she wakes up with only two hairs on her head ans says, "Excellent, I will have piggy tales." The next morning she wakes up with only one hair left on her head and she says, "Wonderful, I will have a ponytail." Now, the next morning she wakes to find she has no hair on her head. She exclaims, "Excellent, I don't have to do my hair any more!" Pure Optimism. :) Love it. That story was told to me by Dr. F here at SCCA, which I am literally tearful to say that he is transferring to another team of doctors next week. My clinic with him tomorrow will be the last one. That makes me really sad. F was there on my hospital team and then when he transferred over to the Clinic it worked out that when I got out of the Hospital he was my doc at the clinic as well. It will be very different without him to harrass and be harrassed by. We are about the same age and have very similar senses of humor and it just has made this whole process better knowing that F is there and on my team and on my side... So, I'm a little bummed about the change in the line up, but hey, I will deal I guess. :) I need a little optimism. I got it, he is kinda like an annoying younger brother sometimes, now I won't have to deal with that. Just kidding.

OK, Dani story for the day. I love this story both because A was witness to it and because I really love making fun of myself. Hours of enjoyment. Today, A and I were riding up in the elevator and chatting. We got in, pushed 6 (which is the floor upon which I live) and resumed chatting. The elevator stopped, door opened. We knew my mom was already in the apartment so we just went around the corner and opened the door. As soon as I open the door I see a big number next to the "201" and the people sitting in the living room and realized that I sure wasn't on the 6th floor. Ha ha... Classic. I don't think they saw us or heard us, but we quietly shut the door and beat it to the elevator just in case. The rest of the day whenever we got in the elevator, A would try pushing 2 first, just in case........ rude. It was certainly awkward but hilarious. Loved it. Made my day a little brighter. :) Really, I'm a ding-dong. Don't you think that I would have realized the ride up from the 1st floor to the 6th floor sure was fast and had a lack of dings. oy vey. Ah well, this is who I am and I'm proud to be me. :)

Anyhooo... That's about it for me and around here. Weather has be AWESOME. Sorry for all of you that are roasting to death. Mid 70s to low 80s the whole time we've been here. And yes, I'm gloating a little. :) jk. I really hope that all of you are doing well and that I will get to see you all soon. Just about a month and a bit and I get to come home. Hopefully. That's OUR plan at least. :) I am continually grateful for all the support and well wishes that I have received and am still receiving. You are all wonderful beautiful people. Love you all and I write again soon. :)

Woops......

So, when I mentioned that I wasn't going to write every day, I certainly didn't intend to go almost a whole week without blabbing. My bad. So, I better get to updating... :)

Let's just start at the beginning... a very good place to start... (Please tell me at least a few of you sang those last couple lines, please. Cause I sure did.) Monday. Actually Monday was one of those days where I didn't feel so hot so we just chilled at the apartment. Watched some television and movies.. yah know, pure excitement. :) As a matter of fact, to harp further on the breaking away from Morphine thing from the last blab, it is SO HARD. I feel blah most days, but hopefully I will be through it soon and things will get back to whatever kind of normal they were before. :) That would be sweet! So, that was Monday...blah.

Tuesday was fun. We went over to my brother's house and I helped him get ready to play at his brother in laws' wedding. So, my brother is a very talented guy, but he has this much confidence when it comes to his piano/organ playing capabilities. This much. He has been practicing for a while now, but there are like a billion songs that he was asked to play, seriously, and about half of them someone was also singing. Now, this wedding is in Michigan and he was going to have a total of one day before the wedding to work through these pieces with the singer. Now, for those of you who accompany, you can probably feel my brother's pain. So, we went over to his place so I could read through those songs with him so he felt like he got a little more practice in. I think he is silly though. He is so talented that I am sure the wedding ceremony will only be the better because he is playing. :) I heart my big bro. Anyway, that was Tuesday.

Wednesday my madre and I went to the MOVIES!!!! So, my doccas tell me that I can go out and do things like going to the movies and such, even though my immune system is pretty much non-existent. They just reccomend that I go to a matinee, which is cheaper anyway so no problem here. Nah, they just want to make sure I'm not around huge crowds of people. Too many bugs a-floatin. So, we went to a 12:30 matinee of "The Help". FANTASTIC!!! Seriously. I recommend this movie whole-heartedly. Such a good flick and such a fun little outing with the momsy. :) But then of course, I had to go home and rest from sitting in a chair for a little over 2 hours. :/ Yes, I needed to lie down. :) I'm such a weakling.

Moving on to Thursday. Clinic day. I went for my usual morning blood draw then met with the doctors to discuss my craziness. :) Nah, things with my recovery from transplant are still going really really well, it's just the weirdness with my stomach and pain and such that we had to figure out. It is really difficult to explain a "weird" feeling in your belly to your doctor. I'm not sure that it was ever really defined, but we decided I needed a new pain reliever for my SHPLEEN and leg. Yes, my shpleen still hurts. I've been told that will take a good year to rectify. Just due to the fact that my bone marrow will take time to recover fully and start making my blood cells again, so my shpleen is still taking up the slack and will for a while. :) Fun times. I'm almost used to that feeling. :/ So, after meeting with the doctors, we quickly chatted with my nutricionist and decided things were still going well with food and such as well and thus ended the clinic visits. And thus also pretty much ended Thursday. We went home and chilled. Again, I needed to recover from all the action! :/ Nah, I have just been Uber tired lately.

And we come to today. Today I woke up feeling like blah blah..... So, I have planted myself on the couch and rested pretty much all day. My mom left for a bit and did some running around so don't think that just because I'm not feeling hot, I trap my mother here... Nope... I think most of the time she is just dandy fine hanging out and not doing a whole lot, but there are times when everyone just needs to go out. I DID walk up and down the stairs once. That felt good, but other that I have just chilled. So, hopefully tomorrow I will feel much better. We are going to Tacoma to hang with my sister's family. YES!!!!!

Day 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it? In theory, I am halfway through this thing!!!! Crazy great! Truth is, each day seems really long, but then after a week I'm stunned to realize a week has gone by. Now I'm stunned to realize that it has been 50 days since my transplant. That's really hard for me to imagine. Anyway. The past 5 days have been full of ups and downs and all arounds. Some days I have really struggled and thought that this will never end and I will never feel normal again. But then, there were MORE days where the sun was shining and I was feeling at least well enough to feel like a human being and get up and do things. I have to say that through these roller coaster of days and nights, my mom has been the most patient and caring person possible. I couldn't ask for a better caregiver. Nope. :)

The first large portion of today turned out to be one of those rougher times. Again blaming the morphine withdrawals. I think that we have just come to the decision that eventually I'm gonna have to go through some yuck to get really past this. Well, we are down to two half tablets a day. We are gonna just try to stretch the time in between doses until I only need one a day, then we'll go from there. This may take longer than expected. Just one more adventure eh? :)

Well, K left this morning. I felt bad that she had to witness a not so healthy Dani. Ya know I try to hide the fact that I'm a recovering transplant patient when I have guests... duh, that doesn't work so well. :/ After we dropped her off at the airport we went to church, but I was only able to stay for a short while. New thing today, My kidneys are killing me. We are blaming this on dehydration, so more water more water. My mom's favorite thing to say lately is "drink more!." So, while I am still on IV Hydration, I still have to drink heaps of water and Gatorade to keep my kidneys happy.

So, there is the update for the 50th day. 50 more to go, hopefully, and I will be homeward bound to Boise. Let's just hope that I can find a place to live quickly thereafter near my job with a fenced yard for my dawg. If anyone knows of anything that may be available come Novemberish, lemme know. :) I hope all of you are doing well and that no one has painful kidneys. :) I'm sorry if you do. Love you all and I will write again in a couple days. :)

The End.

Fun Times with fun people

Today was a wonderful and fun day. One of the reasons and best parts is 'cause my good friendly K is here. How I heart K. She just flew up for the weekend. How nice was that? Yes. So, I am actually going to let her put in her two cents on this blab. How fun will that be? Yes.

 Well Hello! Today has been wonderful! I am so excited to escape the Boise heat and be here in beautiful Seattle with this wonderful young lady and her mother! This morning started off with us hurrying to get out of the house to make it to our boat ride! We boarded the boat at 930 with mom, Dani and B. We got to sail around Lake Union for 2 hours and we followed it up with a delicious lunch! After that we came home because Dani was exhausted. Come to find out we all were! Mom, Dani and I sat down and we all took a nap for a good hour and a half. It was so refreshing! Later we drove over to the Locks and saw more boats that were going from the sound to the lake! It was awesome! Then we went to a couple stores to get some yummy produce and some tasty treats for my birthday party that Dani and mom were throwing for me! When we got home, Dani zonked out on the couch while mom and I made dinner. Surprisingly dinner turned out pretty good ( considering my cooking skills) Needless to say, after all we have done today I'm pretty sure I have worn our girl out! I just love Dani and her mom so much and I am so grateful that I got to spend some time with them the last couple days!  So I guess that is all I really have to say :] -K

Isn't she adorable? yup. :) But she is right, the day has been wonderful and the weather could not have been more beautiful. :) She is also right that I am worn out. The past couple days have been very wearing. We have been running around to different stores and such to get K a bday present and groceries for her bday dinner. Which she really did, unfortunately, end up cooking herself. Ah well, it was delicious. Anyway, things are going really well with what the doctors tell me. Still working on weaning myself off of morphine. Ha ha... isn't it kinda funny, that me of all people is a morphine addict. Admit it, it's kind of comical. It's gonna take another week or so, but then I should be good. Anyway, since tomorrow is Sunday I will try to write a more comprehensive blab of the past few days. Right now, with exhaustion and a head-cake.... I must go. Love you all. :)

My new M.O.

It's seeming to be a pattern in my world lately that Mondays are awesome; we go to the clinic, get blood  drawn, talk to the doctors, this time even met with the nutritionist......... it was a great day. After those appointments, we basically chilled at the apartment still recovering from our crazy weekend. "". :) No really, Monday was the epitome of Mondays. One change was made to me medication, a simple one we thought. No more Morphine. I didn't think this was going to be a big deal since I have been on Morphine so long and it didn't REALLY seem to be making tons of difference anyway, I didn't have all that much pain I needed to manage anymore. :) So, Morphine goodbye. Now, to preface the rest of the story... I had been taking 15mg of slow release (meaning it releases over 12 hours) morphine for around 6 months. 6 months. of morphine. why don't we just stop that cold turkey. ok

So, to stick with my above said M.O. I was sick sick sick on Tuesday. Now I'm gonna get candid here. But I was throwing up every couple hours, diarrhea every hour or so, shaking like I had ants crawling up my drawers, couldn't sleep no way with stomach crampies to boot. Now, first thought to me was.... Man, can't I go ONE week without being ill for most of it!!! This is ridiculous. Then I thought, oh, great, last week it was just Magnesium, this time it's totally GVHD. Fun. Anyhooooo, after many hours of this pattern, we called the clinic and they had us come in to be checked. 

By the time we had gotten to the point of calling the clinic and going there, my mom had looked up the symptoms of morphine withdrawal and we were pretty sure that was the problem, but hey, can't be too careful in my situation so off to the clinic we went.

Turns out that none of my team was around, it being between 430 and 500pm, but the Triage Nurse helped us out and hooked us up with someone that could help. Immediately he tells us that I'm WAY dehydrated. Makes sense since I threw everything up or it came out the other way (sorry), but I needed to be hydrated STAT! So, down to the Infusion clinic I went and laid on a bed for 3 hours getting pumped with a liter and a half of hydration. We had done my hydration at home that morning, which is a liter, but even with that, I was way dehydrated. 

The doctor also agreed that the morphine could be playing a large role in the discomfort so shot me up with some fantastic anti-nausea meds and wrote out of prescription to help me taper the Morphine off over the next week or so. Brilliant. Hanging out in the infusion room felt WAY too much like being in the hospital, but because I have the most awesome mom that will sit there and read a book to me, the time was at least as pleasant as possible being miserable. Did that make sense.

Anyway, Woke up today a new person. It seriously was like night and day. No nausea, no diarrhea, no shakes. I had an appetite and energy. It was amazing!!! So, today, we had a long adventure in the Puyallup/Tacoma area.  We went and toured a placed called the Meeker Mansion. Beautifully restored turn of the century mansion. Lovely, that was very pleasant. Then we went to my sister M's house and chilled just for a bit. Got to see the little baby. She is so stinkin cute. Then off to a used store, Wal-Mart, and Taco Bell for dinner. Just got home a bit ago. Tuckered out for real. :) But, I will take days like today over days like yesterday, ANY DAY. Seriously.

Sunday Sunday......

So I have made a decision. Blabs are not going to come daily any longer. One, sometimes there really are days that NOTHING happens. Then there are those that are so exciting I could write for a couple hours. So, in order to keep you "comin' back for more" and not bore you to death, thus it hath been decreed. Don't expect a blog every day. I will try to not go too long in between them. Just a couple days at most so you don't think I fell off the face of the earth. And let's face it, I have to stay in every one's focus. Can lose that center stage spotlight right?? So, there will still be plenty of blabs, just less. More like it has been lately on accident. :/

So, on to information. Still feeling Heaps better than I did on Thursday the now deemed most recent "Nightmare Day". Things have been basically back to as normal as they get around here. I have been a little off of my morning schedule the past couple days due to sleeping in and that has been wreaking a little havoc on my system, but we will balance that out, no worries. :)

Yesterday was a pleasant day. Like I said before, I slept in, we chilled about the house. Ya know, the usual. Then we decided to go check out a little street fair in Lake City. It was fun! They had lots of fun booths with pretty bags and scarves and such. Good thing I'm broke, or I would have been after. There were a couple scarves that I almost drooled on. Ew, I know. :) After that, we went for a few groceries and some soaking salts for my poor aching feet and then returned home. I promptly prepared my foot baths and sat down and relaxed as my mother slaved away microwaving me a pot pie. :) Marie Callendars Chicken. Delicious. Granted I could only eat like two bites and then I was full, but we will so bring it out for lunch one of these days :) After that there was the evening scripture reading and then beddy time. I was exhausted!!!!! Not sure quite why, but wow was I beat!

Today, typical, beautiful 76 degree sunny Sunday with a lazy morning and church at 1:00. After church, which was fantastic, we came home and had a lovely meal of taco salad and grapes. Yup, I know you are all jealous. :) The grapes were tastilicious! Now, after I finish this blabby, I will lie down for a well needed Sunday afternoon nap. Yup. I'm a lazy lazy. That's ok though, my doctors tell me that's ok. :)

So, to end, as always. I just want to thank you all for your support. Lately especially. It's been a rough with the finances and the weird health and such as late, but you are all so lovely and I have received some amazing cards and well wishes. Thank you thank you. You are the best support group EVER!!

My Legs Hurt!!

Sorry for the lack of blab yesterday, but can I just say that I really really felt like HUD yesterday. Oh wow. Yesterday was one of the worst days so far. Please bless that there isn't a repeat. TO be candid, I was throwing up and using the "Lu" on a round the clock pattern. No joke. I was HORRIBLE. And to top that all off, I had to go to clinic feeling like that they so they all started getting nervous about it being GVHD. When my wise mother and I were pretty sure that it was just the new Magnesium supplement that I had started on Tuesday. That was because, starting Tuesday morning after I took my first pill form of Magnesium it was all downhill from there. Felt a little punk on Tues., more Punky on Wed. and then well yesterday was the culmination of the joy of magnesium. So, no more Magnesium pills, unfortunately, I was put back on IV Hydration. So, again, 4 hours a day I get to be hooked up to some lovely hydration with Magnesium. It's ok though. If I need it to make me feel better, then I will take it.
Today has been like a whole new world. Wow...... I woke up already feeling a bit better and hungry (which is a good sign) so, today went like any other day when I feel well. We hung out at the apartment for a bit, took the trash out, ate breakfast and lunch, etc... Then.... off we went on an adventure.

We went on a very fun and enjoyable walking tour of the International Section of Seattle. There were some really neat things all within a couple blocks from each other.

I loved this large gate. So ornate and beautiful. If only the care would have moved. :)

This is a snow lantern. Pretty huh? It might be a bit prettier without some of the graffiti on it, but hey, My mom and I thought it was neat. :)

This picture and the next........

are really neat hotel balconies that were built way back then. Such neat architecture. We were impressed. :) Anyway, so we wandered through this wonderful historic neighborhood. It was very good exercise and very fun.
Then, to top the fun off, right by where we parked, fate sent us a Greek Restaurant. Hallelujah. So, I convinced my mother that we needed to just pick up a couple Gyros on our way home. She had a chicken Shawarma. This being the first time my mother tries Greek food, I was a little nervous for her to like it. Guess what... She totally did. Whew. :) My Gyro was delectable. I'm so glad that my tastes buds are coming back strong.
So, now we are home, recovering from the Greek food and the amount of walking. I am SO glad that I felt so good today and that things look like they will continue going well. Hope all is well with all of you. Please let me know how you are all doing. email me at lifefordani@gmail.com OR dani.transplant@gmail.com
Luvs!

Wow, two days of no blogging, I totally have excuses :)

First excuse. Sunday..... totally forgot. woops. Second excuse. Monday, great fabulous day, but at around 7pm I was struck with a killer head-cake and that wiped all blogging from the task lists. So, I apologize, but hey, Whaddya gonna do? :) You guys still love me right?

Alright, let's begin with Sunday. Standard Sunday except for the glorious fact that I was able to make it through ALL of church. It's only been the first hour for the past couple of weeks, but I was determined this week that we would stay for all three hours and we did. :) I had missed those extra couple hours. I haven't been to a full block of church since mid-June. That's too long in my estimation. So, I was grateful for the opportunity to be there the whole time. It was a good Sunday and I learned a lot. :)

Then came Monday! Monday was fantastic. That is until about 7pm, but I already explained that. :) Monday morning I had a 730 am blood draw so I got up, put on a toque, and went to the clinic glorious pajamas and all. My mom just stayed home. No need to bug her for a blood draw. :)

Then, after I returned we prepared for the day by changing my bandage over my Hickman and hooking me up to my hydration. I settled in for 4 hours strapped to a backpack and the sound of a little pump while my mother ran away to Tacoma to meet my newest niece J and to help M around the house.

Around 1030, my mother's "relief" showed up. B. My bro. I was excited to get a day with my bro, he's great. So, for the first little while he just worked and I chilled on the couch as usually. Then at 145 we had a clinic appointment with the doccas. Off we went to that. I was excited for everyone to meet my bro. I like to show my sibs off when I get those opportunities. :)

Greatest news came from the clinic appointment. As recently normal, all my numbers and blood counts are looking wonderful! Things are going great AND I was allowed to be taken OFF hydration.!!! Woooot!!! No more plugging in for 4 hours a day to get a little saline water and magnesium pumped into me. :) I did have to promise to eat things that were high in magnesium and to continue to drink heaps of water, but that sounded like a deal to me. (Lately I've been drinking a gallon or more of water a day!) I was put on a magnesium supplement twice a day, but hey, I will take that alternative too. :)

After that we met with the Social Worker to see if she could be of any help with this Insurance "Situation". She was very helpful and we are applying for a couple different grants and she is getting a letter from my Attending Physician stating that they are the ones making me live where I live so my insurance she be paying all that they should. In other words, she was very helpful. :)

Once back at the apartment I ate some yummy lunch and B puzzled a bit then it was off yet again. We decided to wander our way to the Whole Foods about 1/2 mile from the apartment. Now, I know that Seattle is not anywhere NEAR as hot as the rest of the country, but yesterday was, I think, the hottest day we have had. The walk to and from Whole Foods was refreshing and a good one, but I think that my headache stemmed from the fact that once back in the apartment I couldn't cool down. We had our A/C running, ceiling fan, the works, but I couldn't cool down and then my head just started pounding! Grrrrr....

Anyway, back at the farm, my brother ate his sandwich he had purchased we chilled and watched netflix. All that excitement until he decided it was time for him to run home to his family. So, off he went, back I went to trying to cool down in the apt (actually got a quick nap in), and then my prodigal mother returned. :) By then I was "in the throws" of head-cake horribleness. We had dinner and then I laid on the couch until I went to bed. That was that.

Today, I had the fantastic pleasure to drive down to Tacoma to visit my sister and her family and meet my new little niece J. Can I just say........ she has more hair than me. Not fair. :) Nah, she is adorable. Of course, cause she's a baby. :) Now, while my mother, J and my sister M are all at a doctors appointment, I am going to lie down on the couch and take a nap. Wow. I promise I'm not lazy, I seriously just get worn out SO fast.

So, I MIGHT write again tonight if anything exciting happens, but if not, we'll try this again tomorrow. :) Luvs.
