We survived!

We have definetly had an eventful and emotional past two weeks!

September 3rd I had a surgery to complete our miscarriage and the loss of our precious Gabriel. The surgery went well and really was a very minor procedure. The recovery has been difficult, mostly because I have been unable to hold Curtis. We are both having a very difficult time not being able to get in all of our snuggle time! I had a post-op appointment yesterday and have FINALLY been cleared to hold my little pumpkin. Now he can be permanently attached to my hip again, life is back to normal! We have gotten some preliminary results back from the procedure that have been very helpful in the healing and moving on process.

Hurricane Ike paid us an unwelcomed visit on Saturday. We evacuated to Sugar Land and stayed with my parents who had very little damage and only lost power for 18 hours. Our neighborhood was hit pretty hard. We returned to find most of our neighbors hauling carpet and sheetrock to the curbs. We were incredibly blessed to have only lost some shingles and our backyard fence. God is good all the time! We got power and clean water back yesterday and we were finally able to get back home after almost a week in Sugar Land. Despite the conditions, we had a wonderful visit with both sides of our family!

Curtis is just about to wake from his nap so I better get ready to go play with him, more later.
