Here I am. One week post surgery and I’m alive. Ok, slight exaggeration. It wasn’t like I had open heart surgery or anything. I was just a nervous nelly about everything, being pregnant and all. Since my last post, I have upgraded from the post-op cast/ace wrap to a lovely blue hard cast. On Monday,…
26 Hours at Plano Presby
Surgery accomplished! Thursday was a day full of anticipation and multiple trying moments, especially for me and definitely for Chris. Overall, the surgery went well and now we begin the recovery phase. Many things did not go as planned on Thursday, but not necessarily in a bad way. First off, the surgery was about two…
First Baby, First Bone Fracture, First Surgery
Here’s the update after having seen my OB and a second orthopedic surgeon. I will say that my OB was less than sympathetic. She was very clinical and matter-of-fact. I really needed some compassion! Luckily, the 2nd orthopedic surgeon I went to was so great. His name is Dr. Keith Heier at Metrocrest Orthopedics in…
Walking is an Extreme Sport
What an insane 48 hours it’s been at the Bruns household. I’ve managed provide small tidbits here and there on Facebook, but thought I should chronicle the Great Walking Disaster of 2010. It’s a long blog, but a lot has happened! It all started so very innocently as I was walking out of a Starbucks…
The Karate Kid
Somewhere between weeks 20-23, we went from little bubbles fluttering sporadically in my belly, to an occasional kick/jerk, to constant gymnastics and kung-fu moves! Everyone kept asking around 18 weeks if I had felt “flutters”. It never felt like flutters to me. It felt like gas bubbles. Just something else to be excited about 🙂…
How do you like us now, HGTV?!
Phew! After a nice, relaxing weekend in Gilmer, TX, Chris and I decided to labor on Labor Day and make some progress on the nursery. What a project! What I’m learning as an owner of an “older” home, is nothing in this house is as easy as “we’ll just paint the room.” Not to mention,…
Oh elastic, how I love thee
It’s really hard to beat the excitement of last week when we found out we’re having a boy. It certainly has taken us from just lolly-gagging around gloating that we’re pregnant into full-force planning mode. Last Saturday, my exceptional mother in law took me shopping for maternity clothes. I naively hoped that I could get…
Boy oh Boy!!!
I can hardly believe it! Chris and I just found out this a.m. that we are having a bouncing baby boy in January! This is pretty big news for my inaugural post, so I suppose I should back up a few steps. Chris and I found out back in May that we are expecting. Though…
