Update: It's Been A Long Time!!
Hello All,
Just wanted to post a quick hello and some pics of my precious one, Nicolas 21 months. I can't believe how much time flies and how fast they grow! He is like any other toddler, talking up a storm and all over the place! We are very blessed! I'm looking forward to trying for baby #2 soon, God willing!
I had some complications after baby, blood clots in my legs and had to have surgery to have those removed, one at a time. And more recently, I had surgery to have hemmrhoids removed. And this surgery, this surgery ladies, lemme tell you, just about did me in! I'm almost 7wks out of that and still in pain. It's hard to imagine being in pain this long. I even had to get a Caudal ESI, steroid mini-epi shot in my lower back to try and block the pain. So if anybody has any questions about that, ask away! lol...
Special thanks to my Angel Tracy & good friend Alexa for listening to all my whining and always showing support! Hope you all are doing well!
And yes ladies I'm taking girlfriend applications for my son starting now. Yes, so I can deny them all! hahahaha....
The biggest, sweetest & darkest eyes ever!
Big Smooches for cousin Destiny!
Mama stealing a big hug!
Love to play with Daddy a lot!
And of course, the best for last! Mama can't wait till we ride together! woo hoo!!

Nice Lexa, classy...lol
Holly, I wouldn't bash the hubby's tolerance too much, cuz in all seriousness it's a pain like you could never imagine. And I'm not going to get to graphic here but the pain was so bad in the begining I almost passed-out several times when I had a BM. So next time you smack the hubby on the heiny, give him a lil kiss too! LOL...

I made it thru this whole pregnancy, all fibered up and feeling fine... as soon as Zoe dropped I could almost hear those blood vessels fighting their way to the surface... AND NOW every time I get a Braxton Hicks event... I get a potty event soon to follow... no more nice normal morning ritual stuff here... OH NO... now I know why people LOVE THEIR PREP H!!!!!
My doc said that as long as they dont calcify they should go back to normal after the pressure is off... CALCIFY???????? Let me guess thats worse then being afraid to sit down for an hour after using the bathroom??? OH BOY... and now knowing the ultimate fix sucks... I am thinking the easy pregnancy I had was so that I wouldnt be to mad about what is to come...
Speedy recover for you sweet pea... and may I not have to find out what you mean first hand!
