For all the emails and messages about my fall! I think I will call the doctor tomorrow, not because I think something might be wrong, but because my rib cage is hurting. Which would be something wrong, but not as wrong as it could be. I apparently took a harder fall than I thought I did, as there are now bruises on the other side of my body and I bit the inside of my jaws in several places. I just still can't believe I did that!
For an update on my dad, he is doing as well as can be excepted. He has to lay face down for 7 to 10 days, can't hold his head upright, so that the gases and glues they used in re-attaching his retina won't detach again. His vision is still blurry due to the re-attachment process but should get better each day. I guess I'm not mad at him anymore.
Today is my baby sister's 22 birthday. I can't believe she is 22 years old. I remember when my mom was pregnant with her, I was in the 5th grade and I had to write a poem for one of my teachers. Dad helped me write the poem and I still remember it today. It goes like this:
My mom is going to have a new baby
That will probably drive me crazy.
But I can't wait 'til that memorable date
When one way or another
I'll have a new sister or brother!
A sister it was! Dad and I were talking the other day and talking about finding out what this baby is. He reminded me that knowing what we were wasn't option and I really couldn't believe that, but looking back on the poem, I don't guess I knew that she was going to be a sister until she got here. She was the best thing a 10 year old girl could have, a real live baby doll and I loved every minute of it. I still love every minute of her even though she all grown up now!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY ANGEL FLAKE!!!!
About Me
- The 'Ssippi Scoop
- I am a Bama Girl at heart, but have converted to a Mississippi Girl since meeting my husband Sid. I moved from Bama to MS right before we got married. Sid and I had our first baby in December of 2008 and declared almost daily that we were done and did not want any more children. Well, the Good Lord saw fit to bless us with more. And in August of 2011, we welcomed Elissa and Ellie into our family. They were born at 33 weeks, 7 weeks early, with a 15 day NICU stay. This blog journals our daily happenings as a family, and sometimes an occasional rant or two!!

Are you going to find out? I wanted to wait until he was born to find out, but I couldn't do it. I wanted to call him by name instead of just "it" or "the baby." I think I would like to wait the next time we go through it, but I probably won't be able to hold out then either.
