Last week we sent out an announcement that Holly was pregnant. But some - in fact most - didn't quite get it. So for those of you who missed it this is the remedial version of the announcement. We will say if very slowly - Holly - is - preg -nant. We found out 2 days before I went in for surgery. We just had to laugh since the whole time we were planning for this surgery we kept saying, "Well at least Holly isn't pregnant this time" (last time I had ACL surgery Holly was pregnant with Brigham and on bed rest).
Holly had her first real ultrasound yesterday. The baby looks good and she is about 8.5 weeks along. It looks like the due date is around the end of September. Because we have busy schedules we have already set a tentative date for the C-section of Sept 18th.
Holly will have her cerclage probably near the end of March.
I am doing better. I can now be upright for longer stretches of time. Brigham has come back to live with us. He had been so good. He is very concerned with Daddy's owie and keeps telling me "Daddy get better." He has only had one slip. Last night he got overly excited and attacked my leg. I obviously let out a yell and he felt very bad. He likes to kiss things better so I told him he could kiss my knee better since he had jumped on it. He went up to kiss it and started crying "I don't want to kiss it. That's gross. That's gross." Apparently he doesn't like the look of my knee.
I will finally get to start walking next Thursday. I can't wait.
It hasn't all been bad. I have lost about 10 lbs. on the "I can only get food if my wife brings it to me and she is tired and pregnant so she gets grumpy every time that I ask her for food so I only ask for food if I am REALLY hungry" diet. It is quite effective.
Yesterday I got dressed and forgot to put a belt on. I had to go to he bathroom and got up off the couch only to have my pants fall down. Jacob was in the next room with two of this therapists and somehow I had to make it past them to the bathroom without losing my pants. Let me tell you, walking with crutches while trying to hold your pants on is not an easy thing to do. I remembered the belt today.
