My Country Song

For whatever reason, a lot has been happening to get me down lately. As my mom put it a couple of days ago, “You sound like a country song...if you had a dog, that sucker would be dead!” Gotta love the mommy logic. Anyway, you haven’t heard from me lately because somehow I’ve hurt my wrist. The tendons and muscles are pulled so bad, my doc wanted to put me in a cast. When I reminded him about my new baby, he decided to give me a week to try to heal a little to avoid the plaster. I’m typing with one hand, so please excuse my spelling errorrsss. :o) The rest of my country lyrics would be:

My husband done went to ‘nother country
My wrist has gone all funky on me
I have a bad cold, can’t breathe no more
My brand new car has a big hole in the door
A slit in my tummy made it hard to smile
But my baby’s sweet face made it all worthwhile.
(commence with some whistling and banjo playing)

Speaking of Eli, he’s doing great. We just had another doctor’s appointment this week, and he’s up to 11 pounds! I’m feeding this boy good! He’s even wearing some 3 month clothes. He is smiling and cooing all the time now. Unfortunately with my wrist, mom has to lift him anytime he needs picking up or feeding. She even has to get up with me during the night! I’m so glad she is here!

There are lots of other things to write about, but I’m afraid it will have to wait till I can use both hands! Keep us in your prayers!
