Post-Surgery

Surgery went well today, even though I am not sure what he found. My husband couldn't really explain it all to me very well. I will be calling his office in the am.  I am in some pain occasionally and it feels like the worst side stitch ever. The air has not made it up to my shoulder yet, it fells like it is hung up around my liver and lungs.  Belly is slightly tender but not to bad.  I was so worried about stooling with it was being done.

I work at the Outpatient surgery center so having everyone see my Who-Who was not a pleasant idea.  Luckily all the ladies I work with are amazing and very professional.

Hopefully, I will get news on when we can start trying for Baby 2!

Fantasy Hockey

I took over my husbands fantasy hockey team the day we did the draft. He never had a chance to do it. Wouldn't you know I was in First place all season. Then comes playoffs. I lost in the semi-finals. I am fuming mad right now. Yes, it is fantasy hockey but I put alot of time and effort into this. Next year I am going to get those boys. I will win.

10 things I am thankful for this week.

I read on someone's blog that they were going to post 10 things that they were thankful for every week. I am going to also try to do this.  We will see how it goes.

1. Getting a new job in PACU. 
2. Running outside with my sister.
3. Getting to have surgery quickly so I don't have to worry. (hopefully they can figure out what is wrong)
4. Lincoln feeling better.
5. Naptime.
6. Rob giving me more time to go to the gym and not complaining.
7. Having an amazing flexible job
8.  My sister who always helps me out if I need a babysitter
9. For not crying when 2 cleaning bottles with bleach that I just bought from meijers broke in my car and stained my favorite sweatshirt, car and pants.  Even though I wanted to cry.
10. Getting back into going to chruch. 2 weeks in a row!

Strep. and scarlett fever.

I can't believe I haven't posted in so long. Lincoln has been sick.  He ran a fever for 2 days 101-102 but I could break it with Motrin.  I was going to run him in Wednesday morning if he was still sick. He woke up with no fever acting normal. We went to Meijers and near the end on my shopping trip he had a rash.  "Oh no" is what I thought.  When we got home I could inspect it closer I new it was Scarlett Fever. To the drs. we went.  He did a strep test just to double check and sure enough it was positive.  I have never held him more in my life. All he wanted to do was cuddle or lay on my lap. It was kind of nice to have him sit still for longer than 10 seconds. 

My mom, sister, Lincoln, and I are headed to Fort Myers in a couple weeks. I can't wait for the vacation. Even though it would be nice to have it be us girls I am not going to complain.  Lincoln will love the beach and playing in the sand.

Working out is going great but my diet has taken a backseat.  I am hoping to get back to it tomorrow.  Other than that life it great.  No complaints here.

I am also going to start picking up shifts in PACU. It is a well needed change and will give me some extra hours every month. The only bad thing is I have to do 2 nights of on call every month and one weekend every month of call.  But, I think it will be worth it.

Lent

This year for lent I am going to be given up all sweets. I have never attempted this before.  Lent makes me reflect on where my life is going.  I am also going to try to read The Purposeful Driven Life over the next forty days and start going to mass more often.  My husband and I had a discussion about religion. He says he prays but doesn't really know if there is a God.  I offered to change and try different churches until he finds one he is comfortable at.  He does not want to go to church and doesn't want us to force Lincoln to go.  One of the reasons he does not like going to church is because he was forced to go as a boy.  I am a a crossroad here. I think Lincoln should go to mass.  I guess for Lent I will be praying on this issue. 

On another note I have to say how much I love Lincoln. He is amazing. He loves helping me out and aims to please.  I am in love with the toddler stage even with the tantrums.  There are so many things I never want to forget that he does. I have to figure out a way to bottle up this memories. For instance how he says "pllaay, ease, ze bra, choo choo"  His new thing is to say I LOVE YOU and point at me. He does this ever time we eat a meal. He just melts my heart.

He is also sleeping in a big boy bed.  It has taken a good week for him to get use to it.  We moved him into the other bedroom and he is sleeping much better.
