I've got what?!!!

I was hoping to be back in the land of the living by now and have been anxious to catch up with all of you, but my body apparently has different plans. I've been recovering from the surgery almost perfectly, but according to this full-body rash that has taken me over (and brought out all of those tears I was able to contain during most of my pregnancy), my body did not agree with my son's DNA. (kind of ironic isn't it - didn't I have something to do with making that DNA?!!) Anyway, I have this nasty thing called PUPPPs. It stands for a very long medical name, with the 1st word meaning "itchy." And that's no joke. Basically, it's the new mom's version of the chicken pox x10. But I am now on steroids, so not only am I on a speedy road to recovery, but my son is going to triple in size by next week (but hopefully his chest hairs will wait a few more months before growing in). I appreciate everyone's patience with my backlogged blog (I've got so many pictures I am dying to share!) and my lack of phone calls. We can't wait to catch up soon!
