Post Surgery

Well here it is 4days after my Tubal Ligation and things are definitely getting easier for me at home :) Pretty much the only pain I really have is the incision in my belly button, and it is one huge yellow and blue bruise :( I can move easier around the house to do little things here and there which is nice considering I was starting to get annoyed with not being able to move much lol The morning is the most painless part of the day for me, then around 11-5 is where I hurt the most and the evening is on and off with pain.. I am getting to where I am needing pain meds less and less which is also nice cause they make me a little loopy lol I can pick up Ailynne and hold her more without it hurting too much till she wiggles and then whacks me in the belly button lol I can almost fully bend over without having to hold my belly button :) I can use my tummy muscles more now which is helpful :) Ekko has been extremely helpful through this for me.. if I need something and she can get to it she gets it for me :) She helps me with Ailynne, doesn't fight me as much for bed time cause she knows I can't do a lot.. Ekko even tells me from time to time, " Mommy your tummy hurts, you need to lay down and rest! " LMAO That kid is way too smart for her own good sometimes lol John has been so great with all of this, especially when he can clearly see I am in pain :) My Dad was a tremendous help and I am so grateful that he could be here for a couple days to help out with the girls :) I actually got to sit with him a little bit to talk and hang out which we haven't gotten to do much with the visits he's been here for :)

I want to Thank Everyone who has been here for me in one way or another to help me through this whole ordeal :) I love all of you!!

A little something

Well in 5 days I have my surgery. I am a little nervous now considering it's getting so close but I know it will all be ok :) My breakdowns are fewer and shorter for now which I am grateful for :) I have a few friends who know what I am going through and it helps to have them to talk to when I do have a breakdown.. I am thankful for all of my friends and family who have been there and supported me throughout this :) 


On the upside I have lost 6lbs total so far :) We have a credit card paid off, going to be making a Texas trip sometime this year to visit some of my family I haven't seen in 3-1/2 years :) , replacing our old dryer, getting a new box spring :) This trip will make the VERY first time my hubby and Mother have met.. I know we've been married for over 7yrs and they haven't met yet.. 


I am enjoying being able to go the gym every other day ish, well except for this past week cause of the blizzard but after my surgery it will be a couple weeks before I can workout again so lets hope I don't gain that 6lbs back lol.. Other than that we're all doing good here in the Ballard House :) Hope everyone has an awesome weekend and week :)
