So because it's been three months this will be a brief summary with few random pictures thrown in.
Grammie and Grampa were supposed to come for a visit over Valentine's Day weekend. We were excited to see them but a big blizzard on the east coast cancelled their flight. No worries though, thankfully they were able to make it out the following weekend and we had a blast - especially Cory! He loves to take the pillows off the guest room bed where Grammie and Grampa sleep and run to Grampa yelling, "You got Grampa's pillows!!". Then Grampa tickles him and runs back to the room with the pillows and they wrestle and play and do it all over again. It's so wonderful to watch.
March was March. Nothing much exciting ever seems to happen in March. Cory and I continued going to playday at the Kettering Rec Center on Tuesdays, storytime at the library on Thursdays and having playdates with our friends Kim and Owen at least once a week. I really, really enjoy playday and storytime. They are part of the reason I've gotten uncertain about sending Cory to preschool this fall, because we'll miss out on those activities together. He can always go to preschool when he's four and I can never get back the time I would spend with him now, while he's little. It's a tough decision, one we're struggling with right now. I'm sure it will all work out the way it's supposed to. Grammie and Grampa also came back for another visit. Uncle Jeff got to come too! It was so great to see him. He's doing so well. I'm so proud of him.
April was kind of a wash. I got sick, missed Easter with my family and ended up in the hospital for 12 days, followed by two more plus weeks at home in bed which is where I still currently am...I'm waiting for the fifty extra pounds of fluid that I've accumulated to disappear so I can stand for more than five minutes without my ankles turning into soccer balls. I'm not going to lie. It sucks. According to the doctors they think I had some crazy virus plus an e. coli infection that made my body really angry, triggering the lupus to attack my kidneys and my liver. Not a good time. Not a good time at all. Mom came for a week and a half to help out after I got home and then after Mom left Dad came and is here now for this week. Jeff might come next week. If he doesn't, I'm not sure what we'll do. I need to be able to take care of my family. I WANT to take care of my family. They've been so patient and wonderful. I love my boys...big and little. I'm really struggling to stay positive. It'll all be a distant memory soon, I know that. It just doesn't feel that way right now.
Cory had a great Easter. It was a lot of fun to watch him search for hidden eggs around the house. He and Sean went to the Dayton Women's Club for brunch and then to hang out with Sean's family afterwards. I think they had a pretty great day! :)
There's the quickie update once again. Hopefully from now on they will be more frequent.
