And life goes on. . . I thought I would just give another health update. I finally got my suchers (sp???) out last Friday. Here is a pic of the outside and inside of my arm with the suchers.
Very pretty, huh? It looks better now without the thick blue thread, but they are still going to be interesting scars. I am now working on my physical therapy, as my elbow only moves maybe 30-40 degrees of the 180 degrees it used to move. I can't believe how much energy it takes to just work on moving my arm! It exhausts me. Add that to being eight months pregnant and you have one lazy Momma!
Baby is doing well. She already has a nickname-- Mighty Mouse. The doctor thinks she will be smaller than my other babies (8lb 2oz and 7lb 8oz). And she does feel smaller to me as well. But man, can she kick! For only being a few pounds she can really pack a punch. And she is the hiccup queen! About three times a day I feel her start bouncing around in there. I just hope she stays put for several more weeks, until my arm is stronger. (I also hope she doesn't come out with three eyes or something with all the x-rays she has been through!!!)

geez lady! your poor arm! i hope it looks a lot worse than it feels, cause that looks awful :( get well soon!
That's some nice stitching on your arm! I hope you can move your arm better by the time baby comes too :)
Oh my gosh sweetie, that looks awful and painful! I'm so sorry!
oh goodness. you are superwoman. i can't believe you are handling it so well esp being as far along as you are. praying for you girly. wish we were still neighbors, so i could help you out! :)
So how do you plan on using your bionic arm? For good? Evil? I actually really like that you are kind of a handicap. It really ups my chances of getting to hold your new baby a lot longer! I'll just make you a nice comfy bed in the closet and hand her to you when she needs to eat. :)
Yuck! Your arm looks nasty! It really grossed me out. I can't imagine having that to look at all day...I would be sick. You must be tough. I'm sorry that you have had to go through all of that...and still do (physical therapy). I hope it all heals well.
OUCH!!! That seriously made me feel weak looking at it. You are tough. Is it still painful? Missing you.
Okay, I had another blogging hiatus and I come back to find you all banged up and bruised. Holy cow woman!! I am so glad all is well with you and Kendi (super cute name btw). Tell Bra to take it easy on ya, eh!
WOW! That looks so painful! You are a tough cookie! Love the baby's name. Very cute!
