Hard Knock Life

Things have been so crazy. I'll spare tons of details, because those of you who are friends with me in real life or on facebook know what has gone. Needless to say, 2 surgeries (kidney and gallbladder) and a week and a half hospital stay later, I am alive. I am very grateful to be on the mend. It has been the hardest few weeks of my life, for sure, and I still have a long recovery ahead of me unfortunately. I have to go back to all the doctors that saw me in the hospital for follow up appointments, plus get 2 kidney stones zapped and my stint taken out of my kidney still. I will be so happy when all this is over. I'm exhausted and I have yet to get my energy back.

Do you know how hard it is to take care of a 4 month old when you are recovering from surgeries and have no energy? It's not easy. For this reason, we came back home with Mom so that I could have some help with Audie. Paul is on 12's again, so it would be impossible for me to recover AND take on 24 hour infant care. Some days I just cannot do it all. My muscles are still weak from being in a hospital bed for 9 days. I'm tired constantly. I'm so thankful I came home and can get the help I need. I miss Paul terribly though, as usual. And Audrey misses her Daddy. It will be nice to get back to normal and get back to La. In the meantime, I'm resting, taking care of my sweet baby who is growing way too fast, resting some more, sleeping alot eating occasionally.

Audrey is as wonderful as ever. She gets more and more beautiful every single day and I am so in love with my sweet daughter. She has recently started laughing and it is such a precious sound!! It makes my heart melt. She is enjoying time with Granmommy and T-pop and aunt becca and uncle chris. Everyone loves her so much!!

Ok, I'm not feeling too great so I need to get my daughter and myself ready for bed.
