Recovery

D&c went pretty well. My only frustration was that we asked about 3 times that they make sure to retrieve Eric from the waiting room as soon as I started to wake up. Then when I woke up he was no where to be seen. I sat there by myself for a good 5-10 minutes before Dr. H poked his head in to see how I was (distraught) and went to get Eric for me. PLUS - no toast! In recovery they always had this wonderful buttered toast, but apparently it was decided that nurses can't make toast without a food handler's permit. Can you believe that? Then the orderly or whoever she was took her sweet time to come get me to go home, so I sat in the hall in a wheel chair by myself again for another 5-10 minutes since Eric had gone to pull the car around. Anyway, all of the other nurses and doctors were extremely kind and sympathetic and took really good care of me. We got home around noon and discovered that Seth finally decided to mimic "Mama" when we say it (lately his only "word" has been something that sounds like "dadun?"). So that pretty much made my day. I'm feeling pretty good so I might decide to go back to work Thursday instead of Friday. I'd love to milk it for a little longer, but I have so much to do I really need to get back to it. But I am going to enjoy relaxing for one more day at least. Thanks for everyone's prayers and love. I am blessed.

Amanda,
I am so amazed by your strength and positive attitude throughout these last few years and having gone through so much disappointment and heartache. You and Eric are amazing parents. Neither one of you deserve to be put through all this. I have enjoyed watching Seth grow up on this blog. Again, you and Eric are natural parents and it shows through Seth's happy, bright personality. If it is meant to be, Seth will have a sibling...but you should not have to go through so much pain. i guess that just makes the end result that much more a true blessing! Prayers and wishes for only happier months ahead for your sweet family!
