Recovery

The surgery went very well. I'm in a lot more pain than I had hoped, but Carter is staying home today to take care of the boys so I can rest. Have I mentioned how much I love that man?

Dr. Jabara reported that I have "significant" endometriosis. He said there were 5 bad spots, and he removed 4 of them. The fifth one was on my colon, and he didn't think it was worth the risk of a bowel perforation... so he left that one alone.

I go see him a week from today for post-op. Until then, I can't lift anything over 10 pounds (which means the twins do a lot more walking and climbing into their own carseats!) . I can drive again starting probably tomorrow... depending on when I stop taking the pain medicine with codine. (God bless the person who invented that miracle stuff!)

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers... we are so blessed by all of our friends and family!

Birthday

Today is my 31st birthday. I spent today at the Science Spectrum (which Palmer calls the Spience Shrekdom) and Taco Bueno. What better day could you ask for???? It was great to spend the day with my guys. I am LOVING staying home with them on Tuesdays and Thursdays! It is the best of both worlds... working and staying home.

Tomorrow morning I'm having another Laparoscopy. It is seriously a minor surgery. (Although some part of me thinks that "minor surgery" is an oxymoron.) I had one about five years ago. Dr. Jabara (still my favorite doc in the WORLD!) is going to look for endometriosis, which they found the last time. I think this is our last chance to have an actual "diagnosis" for our infertility issues. So far, everything has been labeled "unexplained". After my last lap was done, we got pregnant on our own... but miscarried very early. Dr. J hopes this will help us have success on our own without having to resort to IVF again. (A much cheaper, less painful and more fun way to make babies... hee hee!) We'll see how it goes.

As for P&H... man oh man are they fun right now! They love everything Halloween... especially any chance they can get to eat candy. Here is Palmer bragging to me that he put his underwear on "All by myself, Mommy!" Notice they are on backwards.
