No baby :(

Well, still no baby, but he's in there rolling around. I had fallen in my kitchen a few weeks ago and injured my pelvis. I hadn't realized how bad it was until this past week. UGH. Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction. Basically, when I fell, my pelvic bones were already stretching apart due to hormones and things and I knocked everything out of alignment and tore some sort of ligament holding things together. So, walking is excrutiating, rolling over is excrutiating, sitting is excrutiating, lying is excrutiating - it's gotten ridiculous. Add to all this my desperate need to clean my house and you've got a pretty good picture of why I haven't been online. But this house WILL be clean and my bag WILL be packed by the end of the day.

I've given Raiden his eviction notice but I think he's just laughing at me over it. Well, he's rolling over and kicking a lot like a cartoon character laughing like crazy so that's what I imagine he's doing.

I've just gotten home from my parents where I've been the last few days and got a ton of mail. In there was a package from my friend Sharon who knitted for me this absolutely divine baby blanket. It's fairy soft - I'm not lying - and so light and airy - and just gorgeous. I cried it was so beautiful. She has a website at http://www.loveknits.com for anyone who wants to check it out. The blanket is *really big* In the recliner it covers most of my lower body chest to feet and I'm 5'11" - tall! It has a really beautiful almost ruffled border. I love it :) My mother even exclaimed over it. She doesn't knit, she crochets, but she's really good so this was a huge compliment to Sharon. I love this blanket!!

My dad is doing better as well. He's still at home on IV's that my mom has to change out a few times a day as well as having to repack his wound (still not closed) but his appetite is coming back. Yesterday he asked for a snack. He's lost over 50 pounds since Father's Day. That's just wild. But its because he wasn't able to eat or anything. Oh, he also asked for a steak yesterday. So hopefully he'll be able to start actually eating something more than a few bites of yogurt here and there.

School starts here on Monday (tomorrow) so I'm spending today doing tons of laundry for school clothes, cleaning rooms, getting backpacks ready and supplies labelled and forms filled out and all that jazz. Don took the boys to his moms (it's Sunday) so I've got the house to myself. I'll probably use that lovely recliner (freecycle.org) a lot too!
