Crappy Computers, Beautiful Babies & More

My computer took a crap a few weeks ago. Yes, my husband is a computer guy and I still have NO computer. We will be sharing his computer for now and it might take me a while to find the time to figure out how to get pictures to update the blog. So, for now I will just tell you what has been going on. Parker had surgery on April 1st to have tubes put in his ears. The surgery lasted about 5 minutes. Parker wasn't very happy when they woke him up, but after we got home and had some food and a nap he was back to his normal self. We didn't even need Tylenol!! It has been over 3 weeks and we have had no ear infections!! This is the longest we have gone without antibiotics or chiropractic care since he was 8 months old. He even had a cold last week that went away without going to his ears. We are SOOOOO freaking happy! Our good friends, Matt & Deann Ennen had their first baby on March 31st. Little Henry Wyatt Ennen was a healthy 9lb 7oz at birth and is over 15lbs at 3 weeks old. Our friends Brandi and Shayne also had a baby yesterday morning, a little boy named Gage Owen. I haven't heard anymore details, but I can't wait to get to Wisconsin and see my little guy!! Our new baby is growing. We are about 5 1/2 months along now and the baby is doing great, very active!! Sadly, I am not doing so well. Between an old work injury and issues from my pregnancy with Parker, I am a mess. I have seen a physiotherapist who is going to work with me to get my body in shape so I will be able to hold this little one in for the full 40 weeks, and so I will be able to have another natural delivery. I will be on a very light duty for the next few weeks, and if all goes well I will only have lifting restrictions after that. Those lifting restrictions will unfortunately include Parker. It has been 2 days and Matt is trying to pick up the slack. He does very well encouraging me to sit and relax, he also prefers to sit and relax with me :) Hope everyone is enjoying their spring!
