Look who came to visit me...

on my bed/couch/office/prison...

he has definitely kept me entertained.

NEW Brobee Sweatshirt!

Look who got one of his birthday presents early! It's been cold and Finn needed a sweatshirt...so we had to dip into the Birthday pile already. Isn't it cute? (Also, I'm about to shower! YAY!)

Monday night update

phew...what a day. I went to see my dr. today and what a total bummer. Well, let me start from the beginning. My post-op appt. was supposed to be on Tuesday, but I went in early b/c my toes were numb and cold, so he wanted me to come in and do a sonogram to check for blood clots...no clots (thank goodness)...but there was another surprise. Apparently, when he did my surgery, the damage was much more extensive than previously diagnosed...booooooo! So, basically....no walking or leaving the couch for 3 more weeks!

I have to tell you, I thought I was going to be able to walk out of his office, but not the case. And what bad timing for work...we are crazy busy right now! I am working from home for now, but I miss my routine and I am soooo tired of the price is right already! O well...there's not much I can do, but I miss picking Finn up and playing on the floor with him. AND I think he prefers my mom over me now since she'd been feeding and tending to him :( Dr. Key did unlock my brace which allows me to somewhat bend my knee but it is sooooo painful, and I will be starting my physical therapy this week...that won't be pleasant (maybe I should stop typing since I am not in the most positive mood).

Needless to say, I have been sad about this news...(ask David, I got a little frustrated this afternoon and took it out on him..sorry, David).

I will also not be going on our trip to Atlanta in a few weeks, The boys will be traveling alone (sob). My next challenge is figuring things out...my mom was only planning to stay until next Sunday bc I was supossed to be going back to work in 1 week..bleh...if anyone wants to come stay and take care of me you are very welcome...we have a guest room!

Good night...back to sleep on the couch...yuck!

Update on what's happening in the Miller House

Ok, so surgery went as planned and I'm sorry I haven't responded to the numerous e-mails and voicemails I have received. I really do appreciate that you all have been thinking about me! Today I am feeling a little better...I've spent the past few days napping and resting. I got to take a shower this afternoon, which I thought would feel fantastic, but it was quite a difficult process. I took my bandages off to reveal swelling and stitching, and various colors of the rainbow. So, I am now back on the couch and this is what I see:



Finn has kept me very entertained practicing his walking. I think he went back and forth between my mom and David about 20 times. He was having a blast!





After practicing walking, I watched David give Finn a ride. They chased Duncan (who got newly groomed this morning) all over the living room. Duncan wasn't a big fan of that game, but Finn was.



David is doing such an amazing job keeping Finn entertained and taking care of me, and thank goodness my mom is here. It's been sooo helpful. I even watched David vacuum the living room, and my mom just brings me meals. I would say that this is the life, but the pain isn't the best! Anyway, I'll post more this weekend if I can. I'm sure I'll be looking for something to do!

Fun with "Dadda"

Look how much fun these guys had this afternoon. They were playing up a storm! And check out Finn's brand new Yo Gabba Gabba PJs...I found a whole section at WalMart and bought one of everything. Finn pretty much had a heart attack when he saw them and grabbed for them. I let him hold them up to the register and he snuggled the clothes the whole way there! I think I'm saving them for his Birthday.

Also, Knee Injury update. Not good, if you haven't heard already. I tore my ACL and meniscus. Surgery on Tuesday to repair and rebuild. I'll be stuck on the couch for about 10 days and recovery takes about 4 months. So, feel free to call or e-mail b/c I'm sure I'll be bored. My mom's coming out tomorrow night, so I'll put her on camera duty to update the blog!

I'm a little behind...

on my blog posts. So, while I listen to David read to Finn in the baby monitor, and while I lay here with an ice pack on my knee (no word on the extent of the damage until tomorrow...and yes, I am going to try and make it through a day at work) I thought I would catch you all up on last weekend. My mom and my niece, Sophie, were here to visit. We had such a great time! But, Sophie sure loved her little cousin "Baby Finn". She says she is going to come back to visit "again, and again, and again." :)



The only noteworthy event that took place this weekend was my very first pumpkin carving. It's really difficult to take a good picture of a lit carved pumpkin...who knew? But you can kind of see the results...mine is the 2 little zombie kids all the way to the right:

Uh-Oh!

I have injured my knee! Arggggghhhh! Just got back from an MRI and I'll get the results on Monday. For now, I am stuck on the couch. This just has not been my year :( Keep your fingers crossed that it's just a minor injury and I'll be up and running in no time.
