One year ago right at this time, I was desperately wishing that, on the way to the hospital, I hadn’t told Jim that I didn’t like the way 26 looks so I hoped Ben would hold out and not come until after midnight.  LOL  Hours in to total back labor and I was hurting something fierce.  If anything would possibly disuade me from birthing another child, its the thought of another 24+ hours of total back labor.  But, in the end, I’m a mother and I’d do every second of that pain again in order to have my son.

So, we’re back from Indiana.  And we’re pretty well adjusted back to life here.  I feel like we’re in a good spot right now.  I’m not hearing from Jim much (he calls about every 10 days, we IM every few days) still and we’d love to hear more.  But life is good right now.  If I could get a handle on keeping my house fairly straightened, I’d say life is really good.  I’m by no means a perfectionist in the housekeeping department (as anyone who has ever been in one of our places knows!!) but, man, it just never ends!!

And, with that, I hear both of my kids awake.  So I shall cut this short, go put them back to bed and head there myself.  More tomorrow, I promise.
