I've been asked by many why I haven't been blogging lately and to tell you the truth, there are several reasons. We went out of town to the beach for week and had a wonderful time (prepare yourselves to be bombarded by beach pictures in the bnear future), unfortunately I woke up our last night there in ALOT of pain.
Long story short, I have a bulging disc in my neck (C6 and C7) that is pressing on a nerve opening. I've been like this or over 2 weeks now and I'm going to see a neurosurgeon this Friday. I haven't been able to pick up Luke since this happened and everyday life has become difficlut with 3 littles ones. The grandparents have really been life savers and helped us out in several ways and I have had many friends bring us dinner- which I am EXTREMELY thankful for. Our first week home from the beach I stayed in bed. Yes, me. In bed. ALL WEEK LONG. It was horrible. I couldn't stand and it killed me to have to get up and go to the bathroom.
I'm getting better everyday, but I'm also still having to take pain pills. I haven't felt my thumb or pointer finger in my left arm for over 2 weeks and my left arm is constantly tingling.
This coupled with us getting ever so close to moving, dance starting, church starting, school starting...it's all been a little crazy around here.
I'm coping as best I can and doing what I have to do to get through everyday and still tryin to be a good mommy and wife. (poor Michael has really had to step up his household duties and he's done a great job of taking care of me through all of this)
So, this is why I haven't been blogging. Have you ever tried to type with numb fingers? It's not easy.

I hope Friday brings you some answers and relief. I'll be thinking about you.
