Six Month Update!

Today marks 6 months (and 1 day) since I underwent a life changing operation. ( I can't believe it's been 6 months!!)  I am happy to report that all has been well.  I seem to be for the most part, back to my "normal" and I am so incredibly lucky to have had such a nice, smooth recovery.  I have heard of so many women who have had many complications from the surgery...and although I am not completely out of the woods, the new girls have settled in pretty well and I am for the most part, incredibly happy with the results.

Sure, things are different for obvious reasons.  I still can't sleep on my stomach or lay flat on my chest, so that has been a huge adjustment.  I've been woken up by Bob to tell me to roll on my side, numerous times ... and I have managed to wake up in some very interesting positions (after what must have been my attempt to sleep on my belly while trying to protecting the new boobs).   Thankfully, I have a snoogle pillow which is a pregnancy pillow, but it's been a life saver for comfort reasons.  I think sleep, has been one thing that has changed quite a bit since surgery, as I tend to have to wake up a couple times a night to "adjust".  I am sure over time, this will subside ... or at least I hope it does! On a positive note...Tarver seems to enjoy my snoogle about as much as I do!!

Today also marks the 2 month mark of starting a new job here in Houston.  It feels really good to get back in the swing of nursing/working, even with an early wake up call of 4:30am.  I've been fortunate to have found a nursing job with fairly good hours, no nights/weekends/holidays, and great coworkers/managers. 

Bob and I are excited to travel to Boston in a couple of weeks to celebrate my brother/sister in law's baby shower! We can't wait to spoil our soon-to-be-born nephew!  We will also be celebrating a wedding of a dear friend of ours in Chicago in March.

I hope you all are well and 2013 has gotten off to a great start for you!
