two weeks old!

It's been a very rough two weeks. More then I could have imagined. Not because of our beautiful children, but due to basically everything else. the daddy's surgery went well, though we've had a couple of trips to the doctor since with sinus infection scares. Breastfeeding went well until I got Mastitis which turned into a raging skin infection that sent me into a fever of 103.5 giving me fever blisters and what felt like a sunburnt face. After being diagnosed by the doctor I was put on an antibiotic that I quickly reacted to with hives and tongue swelling. After an antibiotic switch and hard work I am finally on the mend. Though not sure if I will be able to get peanut to relatch. So that's been the last two weeks for us. Did I forget to mention monkey's cutting his four eye teeth? hmmm.

So when I woke this morning (the fifth or tenth time I don't know) I was pleased to find myself surrounded by my beautiful family on a bright, sunny, Sunday morning. Nothing cures the gumpies like two bright-eyed children smiling at you and little chubby-armed hugs.

Meme

I was tagged by Kim, so here you go. Six random facts.



This meme asks me to tell you 6 quirky, random or inconsequential facts about myself. The rules for this meme are:

(1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog.
(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
1. I've tried and failed a number of times to learn the guitar. And despite being married to a guitar major, I cannot figure it out. So I leave it up to my man.

2. I hate peanut butter. Hate it. Cannot stomach it. So with all of my pregnancies I've known before I tetsed because I actually started craving peanut butter by the spoonfull. Yarf!

3. I'm terrified of raising a girl knowing the wild-child I was growing up. When the ultrasound tech told me Peanut was a girl, I cried. (though don't be fooled, I'm desperately in love with my daughter)

4. I can wiggle my ears, nose, turn over my tongue, and raise both eyebrows seperately. And yes, I practiced these as a child to be sure I knew how.

5. I'm deathly terrified of spiders and have actually passed out at the site of one.

6. I've shaved my head.
I don't know six people on Blog, but I'll tag as many as I DO know. :)
