What's That For Anyway?

Well we had quite the adventure this weekend. Jon and I started driving to Idaho around 9:15 am and twenty minutes later Jon was having a tummy ache. No big deal. We got to Idaho at noon and the pain was still an ache. Jon ate lunch and we chatted with the family and then Jon's pain intensified quite rapidly. We had no idea his appendics was the culprit. But it was. We left Shelley at 6:00 pm and I drove 90-100 mph all the way to Logan to take Jon to the hospital. Yes we could have gone to a closer hospital but Jon felt more comfortable going close to home. We got to Logan at 8:00 pm and the ER doc ran tests. By 10:30 pm Jon was in surgery getting that dumb organ out. The surgeon was flabbergasted at how "chronically inflammed" it was. He hadn't ever suspected it would be that bad. He asked me if Jon had been suffering in pain long and I told him no, just today. He was still stumped. Jon either has a high threshold for pain or this was just a very tempermental appendics. Jon stayed in the hospital overnight and did really well. We got to go home by 11:00 am on Sunday. He's doing well at home too. Sometimes he overdoes it just a bit and ends up needing to lay down for quite a while. But he's a tough guy. If you want to see pictures go to Jon's Facebook page. It's quite nasty so be warned. What's the appendics for anyway?? :)

Life Sure Is Funny

There are so many funny things that happen in just a 24 hour period. Jon making his funny faces at me just to make me laugh, Duchess rolling over after sleeping on the side of her face and her hair being flat on one side and fluffy on the other, lady across the street walking her cat on a leash, Leppy getting a drink from the bowl only to have half of what he put in his mouth end up in a trail on the floor and having Jon step in it and cuss, Frankie giving you the evil eye sideways glare, the list is endless!

With so many little things to make me laugh each day it's hard not to be so happy. Yes I have my grumpy times and so does Jon but that's just part of being an emotionally and mentally healthy person. You just can't stay grumpy all the time. What's the fun in that? We just have to remember to take the good with the bad and revel in the good. Even the small stuff. :)

More Learning Complete!

Jon and I went to a breastfeeding class at the hospital on Friday night. He's such a good husband to go with me. There were three women there without there husbands and I felt bad for them. Jon was all for learning how to help me when the time comes. I told him I needed him there because I know I will forget things and his memory might be better than mine. The lactation consultant encourages the husbands to come anyway because they're a huge part of the baby's life as well. One thing I learned is that breastfeeding is not supposed to hurt at all! If it's hurting then you're not doing it right. SWEET! That is what I was afraid of the most. Overall I learned a lot and hope this comes easy to me, Jon and baby. :)
