It has been a crazy couple of days.  Poor baby had a night after surgery on Wednesday.  I had to go by her house on Thursday morning to make calls to the surgeons office and the ob/gyn office.  The vicodin they gaver her did not cut the pain and waas making her very dizzy and lightheaded.  We didn't want to continue to take the darvacet she had from 3 years ago until we knew from the ob that is was okay for the baby.  Well...that stuff has been taken off the market and they said not to take it at all.

I fed her and got her as comfortable as I could, and left her in the hands of her friend Jennee.  It killed me to leave her, but I had to put in a day at the office.  I was really starting to miss it.  I knew she was in good hands but leaving her so pitiful was very hard.

The surgeons office finally called in a new script and after taking the new meds she said the pain level was cut in half, and she didn't feel like she didn't want to die any more.  Then last night she slept very well, and in talking to her this morning, she sounded soooooo very much better and she felt so much better too.

After cleaning my house, I made a trip to Babys-R-Us for a pregnancy journal and to just look around.  It was really fun, and my excitement level got a tremendous boost.  So much cute and fun stuff.

While casually shopping I got another phone call...what's wrong...What am I going to do with these too?  Micah was taken to the urgent care with severe back pain.  She felt very helpless (I can relate to that).  They concluded that he had strained a muscle in his back and sent him home with muscle relaxers and anti-inflamatories.  She was propped up on the love seat, and he was on his back on the couch.  What a pair.

I went into mom mode and got their house cleaned.  Though it was a lot of work and I am pooped, it was kinda fun. and.... I finally feel like I was able to taker care/mother them.  I love being a mom, and I love taking care of my baby.  Though fully grown, she will always be my baby.  Knowing that my baby is going to be have a baby leaves me anticipating some tremendous changes in her. 

One can't fully understand motherhood until one becomes a mother.

Oh yeah, I picked up a really cute stuffed dog and pacifier with a bear attached for poppy today.  This grammy thing is going to get expensive.  I may have to keep working for quite a long time :)
