Ouch!!

So a couple of weeks ago Curtis has his ACL surgery. It was quite the nerve raking experience sitting in the waiting room for hours just waiting to hear that everything went well. Thankfully his surgery did go very smoothly. They ended up replacing the whole ACL with part of his hamstring and repaired his partially torn meniscus (Thank you Dr. West!) When they brought me into the recovery area where Curtis was coming to, it was pretty comical to see just how out of it he was. For some reason he was so concerned with the time and kept asking to tell him what time it was. Pain pills really hit him hard, possibly because Curtis is all about vitamins and refuses to use any other type of medication. It got pretty nasty too when it came to change his bandages, my weak stomach could barely handle it! Needless to say it has been a busy couple of weeks getting him back in the swing of things and trying to get our routine down. The toughest part of the this experience for Curtis was he got major cabin fever. Can't really blame him when he would have to just lay there, on the flat of his back with his leg elevated for practically a whole week. Also he has developed a nasty addiction to his ice machine. The clerks at both Smiths and Holiday Oil are my new friends, since this addiction takes about 3 small bags of crushed ice or 1 large bag every day and our freezer can only hold so much (so sad that I know this now!) I am frequenting these stores/gas station morning and night. We have also had to make a couple of trips to Costco this week which then means that Curtis gets to roll around in the electric wheelchair cart. I think he really enjoys that. I don't know if any of you have seen that Seinfeld where George pretends to be handicap and his boss buys him a Jazzy??? Shamefully our house has fallen into shambles and is desperate for a good clean which will be done this week, I hope!

As far as other updates I get all of the email updates from the pregnancy websites and have always thought it funny how week by week there is some type of comparison of your baby's growth to some type of fruit or vegetable. Accompanied by a photo.... This week my baby is the length of an English hothouse Cucumber (about 14 inches head to heal)

and moving on up to be as hefty as a head of cauliflower, weighing in at almost 2 pounds. (Length: about 14 1/2 inches.)

But that is just what they are telling me... I on the other hand feel like this baby is going to be huge!! When we went it at our 20 week ultrasound (that feels like so long ago!) our baby was measuring a couple days big but when they measured his femur he measured 2 weeks bigger!
