It's a beach party!

Today I bought each of the kids a beach towel. You would think that our living room was a warm sunny beach. As soon as we got home tonight the towels were layed out on the floor and the kids had to put their swim suits on. Ellie found her lei and put a flower in her hair. So as I type this the kids are all sitting on the floor with their swim suits on, they are eating otter pops and they put in "Lilo and Stitch" to watch. They totally crack me up and I love them for it. They keep things ineresting around here.

All is well...

Yeah, it's finally over and I survived surgery!! Everything went really well and the baby is fine. I have a triangle of pain on my stomach right now: incision above my belly button, one under my right rib cage and then on my lower right side where the cyst was removed. As long as I have some pain relief in my system I feel fine but it sure doesn't help when the baby kicks one of those three spots. For the last two days my kids have been at my mom's house and I had the whole day to myself. I was able to get so good rest and I feel great today. It is nice to have my babies home. I missed them so much!

Not looking forward to tomorrow...

So, tomorrow will not be a very fun day. I am scheduled to have surgery to remove a cyst that has been causing me a lot of discomfort. Due to the fact that I am 25 weeks pregnant makes me nervous. I will be having the surgery at a hospital where they have a neonatal intensive care unit "just in case" the baby decides to come early. Cross your fingers for me that everything will be ok. I am not so much worried about me just worried about the baby. I do have an amazing OB Dr. and he will be assisting the surgeon and assures me that he will be watching me and the baby very carefully. I am sure that all will go well, just nervous! I will let you know how everything goes in a day or two.
