Let it snow...

We got our first snow storm here in Utah, yep it's the 12th of October and the yard is covered in snow. It snowed pretty much all day, so I think it's safe to say that Winter is upon us!

So, it's been about a week since I've blogged, and as you can tell since I'm the one writing this, my surgery went well and I'm still kickin'. I'll talk about that later, I wanted to update on Liam and Josh first.

Liam's new thing this week is to stick out his tongue. I don't mean every now and then, I mean all the time. Every time we look at him, he has his tongue out. It is very cute, but he drenches his clothes in slobber. He is doing so great and getting bigger everyday. We took some pics of him with the pumpkins we have on our porch and they turned out way cute! He is still loving his rice cereal, though I'm not sure he is loving the applesauce I mix with it. Last night he kept spitting it out and making a scowl when Josh would feed him. So, maybe I'll try mixing it with a veggie instead. I hear veggies aren't so bitter so maybe he will like that better. I had my surg. on Friday, so he got to spend the day with G & G Harlow. My Mom came over at 5:00 in the morning to stay with him, since we had to be down to U of U by 6:30. They had a good day and when I talked to Mom the next day she said she was worn out and her knees and legs were sore from getting down on the floor to play with him. But, they had fun.

Josh is still doing great in the Biggest Loser. He has lost a total of 17 lbs so far and weighs 173!! He is so good!! He has been such an amazing help this weekend with me being limited in my activities. I am not supposed to lift or walk around with Liam until tomorrow, so he has been doing all of that. He had gotten up with him when he wakes up in the early morning for his bottle, not that he didn't before we just traded off. He has done it all weekend and I am so grateful. He went out and rented 3 movies and we have just spent a chill weekend here at home which had been very nice. I've rested and taken it easy like a good girl, but can't wait for tomorrow when I get to pick Liam up again.

So, I had my procedure to close my PFO done on Friday. All went well and I am so glad that it is over. It only took about an hour to complete, but then I had to lay flat for 6 hours without moving my right leg or even lifting my head!! That was the worst part of the whole experience, and I would take my c-section over that any day, at least I could get up and walk around after it. Plus, there was no T.V. and I couldn't read laying down, and I couldn't sleep because it was way noisy and the nurse comes in every 15 minutes to check my groin to make sure it wasn't bleeding too badly. But, after all that everything appears to be fine and I actually feel pretty good. I just have to take it easy, and like I said before, I can't hold or pick up Liam until tomorrow. So, thank you to all who wished me well, I'm lucky to have such great friends and family.
