Thankful that the kids have been able to keep busy at my moms while I have been recovering! -

I’m starting to feel better. The only pain I’m in is the tenderness around the incisions. In the next week or so that too should fade away! -

This whole situation has been a real confirmation in the lesson Warren and I have been learning all year. We can plan and plan all we want, but some things just happen, they aren’t part of our plan. They are part of the bigger plan though, each and every thing that we don’t see coming is already part of the greater plan! I’m not sure why I was taken through this valley but I know there was a reason. -

It’s been a pretty intense few weeks. I feel a little down but I honestly think it’s from being cooped up! My last few weeks of pregnancy I was told to take it very easy, not quite bed rest but I wasn’t allowed to really do anything. Almost four weeks ago now I gave birth to Caleb, it was a bit of a traumatic birth so I had to take it really easy after that too. This past weekend was supposed to be my “let get out of the house” time and I had planned to take the kids to a Christmas festival with my mom because other than one trip to the store, Calebs baptism, and standing at the parade I hadn’t really been out of the house for weeks. Instead I ended up in the hospital getting my gallbladder removed and once again I’m supposed to take it easy, relax, and heal. When really I just want to go out and do something! -

QUESTION: What do you do when you’re not allowed to really do anything? 🤷‍♀️ -

I’m glad that the pain medication is easing my pain but after being on medications for the pain for the past several days my brain is starting to feel a bit bluh and meh. Although this could also be from the days of little sleep finally catching up with me too. - *Dont worry he’s never left on a pillow unsupervised!* -

I’ve been kind of quiet on social media the last few day because I’ve been in heaps of pain! I thought it was just more heartburn that didn’t go away after having Caleb... I was wrong! -

I’m currently sitting in the hospital waiting to get my gallbladder removed. This has been a pretty long and painful journey but I’m happy that it’s finally getting fixed! ... I’m pretty hungry and thirsty as there’s only been a 4 hr window that I could eat or drink since 10am yesterday when I went to the ER and before then I was vomiting everything up. I don’t think breastfeeding makes the feeling of extreme hunger any easier. 🥺 ... The hospital staff has all been really great since we got to the hospital. I’m lucky enough to have the same nursing staff that I had when I had Caleb three weeks ago. They definitely make the staff a little less scary and a lot more calm. -

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, offered to help out, or prayed for me and our family through this. I appreciate how many people are concerned, I definitely feel the love. -

Hopefully I’ll be out of here today but considering the doctor said that it could be anytime between 8am and 36hours after that we will have to see. Fingers crossed it’s sooner rather than later, I’d really like some food and water! 🤞 -

A special thanks to Warren. He’s been here for me every step of this journey and I really appreciate it! I couldn’t imagine going through all this alone.

Today our dear Caleb was baptized. What an amazing day it was and such a blessing that so many friends and family could celebrate with us! -

The kids created their own game today where the had to roll the dice and build a word or sentence with the number of letters the rolled. What’s awesome about this is I didn’t suggest they do something educational, they thought of this entirely on their own. What’s even more awesome is they had so much fun spelling different words and making different sentences. -

Child led education (#unschooling) is possible and can work really well if you just trust the process. I am still learning how to let go of my ideas of what education “should” look like and trust that my children are capable of forging their own educational paths! -
