Husband withdrawal...

Well its almost the end of the week, meaning my husband Jeff will be here tomorrow night... I have been slowly becoming a lonely lump of sad unloved goop... when I haven't been being "Mommy" I've been sitting with my laptop chatting with Jeffry on msn, or sitting on the couch wishing for a hug... and when I say wishing, I mean "eyes shut tight wishing with every inch of your body, mind and soul" wishing...

I've always been a very physical person. I THRIVE on hugs and cuddles and love. Just one week without his loving hugs and little touches of affection have put me in a funk. I don't even want to think about what I would be like if we were away from each other for a MONTH!

To make up for some of it, David has been my snuggle bear during his afternoon naps and evening naps... sometimes in the middle of the night when he wakes up crying... I love sleeping with him, but I don't really sleep... I just get a neck and shoulder cramp while he sleeps soundly, taking up most of the bed. But I still love it... feeling him next to me... curled into my curves. God I love him so much.

Any way... David has a new hobby

Makes me laugh every time I watch it... I think I might be stealing this bouncy from Grandma George... I don't know if David could amuse himself at home with out it. He LOVES it...

Took him a day to figure it out, but as soon as he did, he became the cutest little 7 month old frog baby I've ever seen. Oh, by the way, did I mention that St. Patrick's Day was his 7 month birthday? Yesterday my little man turned 7 months old... still brings tears to my eyes every month he hits the 17th. I know I'll be saying this for the rest of my life, but... I can't believe my little man is already 7 months old... (I can hear myself saying, "I can't believe my little man is 32 years old".) Goes by too fast I tell ya.

He's going through this phase I can't quite figure out though... Its like the mommy phase, but I make him cry? Well... only when he's really tired... but otherwise as soon as he sees me he starts to fuss for me... he's better after I pick him up, IF I pick him up... usually if I leave the room he goes back to what he was doing... it makes it hard to get things done.

Oh! And good news... my mother in law's camera cord worked with my Nikon, so I was able to get some pictures off my camera from this week. Not from yesterday, cause my battery died... (sad panda)... but either way, pictures are pictures!

I will upload more later when I have a bit more time to go through the pictures. I still have to do a post about his day with his Aunts! Which was quite the day for him.

Keep praying for a quick healing for Grandpa Jeff. He is starting to get restless having to sit in that green chair all day and night. They say he'll be out of work for 4 weeks... for sure... so lets hope after that he'll be healed enough to get back to things so he doesn't go too stir crazy.

Love!

Poor Grandpa

Grandpa Jeff came home yesterday from the hospital, which is nice cause it has to be more comfortable being in your own home then the hospital.

Jeffry left today to go back down to the cities, while I decided to stay here and help with Jeff Sr.'s first week home after having surgery to mend his shattered tibia and fibula. This is our first break from each other since before David was born... so it's gonna be hard for the two of us. Jeff is surely going to miss David's smiling face every day when he gets home from work... the daddy time he gets in the evenings... the "grrs" and the "dadas". I'm gonna miss having his warmth at night, feeling him next to me makes me feel safe... yeah, this is gonna be tough. But at least I have Grandma here to help with David, cause she sure doesn't' mind helping out with him. ;)

Any way, I'm just sticking around this week so one of us can always be with Jeff Sr. at all times in case he needs something... at least till he gets comfortable getting around with his walker.

Jeffry will come back up on Friday to spend the weekend, then we'll both go back home on Sunday.

Unfortunately I forgot my card reader, so I won't have any cute pictures to upload till next weekend... this makes me sad. :( :( :( I have so many to share!!

Any way, I must go and put the little rug rat to bed.

Sweet dreams my friends.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Poor Grandpa Jeff!

I was hoping to update with some new pictures of David from his visit with his Great Aunts, but something has come up, and I've found I don't have time to get the pictures in order do to this happening...

My poor dear father in law Jeff Sr. fell at work today and was rushed to the hospital. Turns out he shattered his tibia. They decided to wait till tomorrow to do surgery because the doctor wanted the entire team there. So it'll be a long drugged out night for PaPa.

Jeff and I decided we'll be leaving tomorrow after Jeff gets done with work to stay the weekend with his parents.

David has a healing smile, so I think it'll be good for him to see his "PaPa" and help make him feel better.

I'm asking for prayers for a quick and easy recovery.
Thank you all.
Love!
