Helpers for weeks 3 and 4 post surgery

My helpers for the third week after surgery were Jennie and Haley. Haley came over Wednesday and Thursday to lend a hand and to entertain Peyton so I didn't have to pick him up as much! She brought her son Jacob to help with that. Babies do not usually "play" with each other too much; you know, they look at each other in fascination and make some sounds, but usually go their own way! Jacob and Peyton played wonderfully together! I've never seen such a thing! They followed each other all over the floor and stood up holding onto the same toy together and screamed at each other....in a happy way! Thank you so much Haley for all your help, I really appreciate it and Jacob is just too cute!

Jennie came up on Thursday of week 3 and spent the night until Friday! She is going to make a wonderful mother some day! She cleaned EVERYTHING she could get her hands on, had complete control of the kids, cooked us dinner, and still managed to be dressed all cute in her skirt and shirt! She's amazing! I was like, "Well, you make my job look easy!" She was such a HUGE help to me and I love her dearly for taking the time to come and help me when I really needed it! Thank you so much Jennie! I'll never forget all your troubles to come help me out! You have been such a wonderful friend to me!


On week 4, I thought I'd be alone and I was dreading it! I felt much, much better, but I still needed some help to be able to go as fast paced as my day usually goes. I was still weak so I knew I could not keep up with the kids' needs on my own! Thankfully, my good friend Julie came up on Wednesday and stayed with us until Friday. She brought one of her two beautiful girls with her to help entertain the boys! We missed seeing Jalyn, but we were so happy that we did get to see Rylie. I know it was extremely hard for Julie to take time away from her own family to come and see me and help me out and once again, I'll never forget that! She was a big help to me and I must say, her little Rylie is just one of the most beautiful little girls I've ever seen! No, I'm not just saying that! We took the kids to the sprayground on Thursday; I had been wanting to do that for awhile, but I cannot lift Peyton in his car seat yet! Since Julie was here, she was able to do that for me and I'm so glad we went because they all had a lot of fun!

I love all three of you girls and I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your troubles and the time you took from your own lives to help me when I really needed it! You girls are the best! I will not forget what each and every one of you did for me! THANK YOU!
