Anyone looking for me?????

We made it back from our trip LATE Tuesday night (really it was Wed morning). We had a wonderful time, Lovey did absolutely PERFECT on the flights and really the whole time we were gone. We had her so off her regular routine, out of her normal surroundings and she was still the perfect baby. At one point, my dad asked "Does this baby ever cry?" For the record, she does, but only if you are slow getting her food to her. I'm still trying to catch up with laundry and cleaning and decorating for the holidays. We are leaving again on Thursday for a trip to St. Louis to see friends and I'm so looking forward to being there, but not really looking forward to the drive. It's a 10 hour drive, I don't like car trips and Lovey isn't crazy about being in her car seat for long periods of time either. So this should be quite the trip.
I'd love to show you pictures from my trip in NY, but I left my memory card at my dad's. They are going to mail it to me sometime this week.
In other news....
At some point during my pregnancy, around the same time the tingling in my right hand started I realized that the heel of my left foot was numb, sometime later I discovered that the area on the outside of my right knee was also numb. I figured these symptoms would go away after delivery. Well, they haven't. I finally mentioned it to my OB dr at my last visit and she said I needed to see a neurologist. He ran some kind of tests, said there was some nerve damage, probably from a pinched nerve but that I needed an MRI. Last Thursday night, I had my MRI and the tech guy said that I have a bulging disc and that I'd get more info from the dr. Soooooooo, I'm still waiting to hear from the neurologist, but I had the MRI people also send the results to my chiropractor and he said its very treatable and that I won't need any invasive procedures. But of course, we still have to find out what the neurologist says. In the mean time, I'm seeing the chiropractor 3x a week. I'll let ya know what the neurologist says when he gets me back in his office.
I do have some crappy pics that I took of the 'great decorating' idea I mentioned in a previous post that I was so excited about. The pictures so don't do it justice, but at least you'll get the idea. The first one is w/ no flash and the second is with the flash on.




I did find one of my aunt and Lovey when we were at the airport getting ready to fly out of NY.


Alright, that's all your getting for now....

~Til next time!

I can sort of envision the loveliness of the snowflakes! my camera doesn't capture the sparklyness of my tree enough to post a picture of my whole tree. :(

glad you are having a good time!
