LOVE/LIAM IS IN THE AIR

Happy Valentine's Day!
I have been cleared to pick up Liam :) In an unanticipated happy twist of fate, his non-chub (we were worried that he was too skinny for awhile) puts him below the 20 pound limit. Woo hoo!
The follow up surgeon appointment went well today. The bandages are off and all is looking good. She told me that arm pain is normal, which immediately made it hurt less. She said it due to aggravating the nerve, and that Advil won't work, but I will seek the advice of another doctor who is a bigger believer in better living through chemistry. She said I will be feeling much better by 6 weeks, and back to myself in 3-6 months (minus the chemo, of course). Skiing is out for the season (anyone need a 4-pass?) but I'm good to go swimming in mexico. Mostly I'm just thrilled to be back in action with the little guy.

Tonight we had the best valentine's day treat. A daycare bud of Liam's mom brought us an incredible dinner... apricot glazed chicken and roasted potatoes, salad... she made special breaded baked chicken for xander and home made baby food for liam, plus an amazing icecream cake that was so pretty I took a picture. Unreal! We have seen each other in daycare over the past few months, but mostly just to say hello-- I continue to be bowled over by the kindness and generosity of new & old friends alike.


Jim & I (microwavers that we are) are in awe of this delivery, especially considering that this woman is a lawyer and has a 6 month old. How does she do it? (It's all we can do to make fish sticks).
While closing my eyes to fully savor another yummy bite I told Jim, "You married the wrong woman."
"I know." he replied.
Eyes now popped open, I scolded him "You better tell me something good about me right now!"
"You have great hair," he responded.

God, I love that man.

I think the fact that he would say that combined with the fact that I found it hilarious is one of the (many) reasons we're married.
Cheers!
