Craziness

Yesterday was SUCH a crazy day for us. Milo and I ran, ran, ran. And he didn't mind the constant in and out of the car. I love that he's so laid back, most of the time. The two biggest things were going to visit a brand new friend, fresh from the oven. My friend Marcia gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on Friday. The last I heard, she was still nameless... but it was so great getting to meet her. She weighed just a couple ounces more than Milo when he was born. MMmmm.... it made me ready for another!!! Maybe not today, and not tomorrow... but maybe sooner rather than later.

The other thing that made our day crazy was a doctor's appointment I had. I've been having a back pinch thingy... so I was just hoping to get some more physical therapy. And I had that appt. scheduled for a little while. Well... I happened to have a weird thing develop on my neck. I've had this weird bump thing on my neck for a while... but it wasn't really a big deal. It was always just there. Well on Monday... Nathan pointed out that it seemed bigger... and then it got tender... and then it got red.... then it started... draining. YUCK! So after I talked to the doc about my back, I said, "Oh by the way, could you look at this thing on my neck!?" He agreed it did not look good and said he needed to go in and cut it out. Let me add I was there with Milo by myself. With Milo beside the table in the stroller... they cut that thing out of my neck! It turned out to be an infected cyst. Is that gross or what? He ended up having to make a bigger incision than he thought because it was tricky and in a bad spot. He said he could be more aggressive if it were on say my back... but being on the side of my neck... he had to take it easy with the scalpel. Then he sent me home with the incision packed with gauze but not closed. Yuck! It still grosses me out. I have to go back in on Monday to have it repacked and I may have to have someone else do it while we are in Morgantown, depending on how it looks on Monday. He also sent it to the lab, to verify what it is. And Milo was SO good as long as the nurse would occasional give him a smile. It was the last ten minutes that he started wailing! Luckily my doctor has two young children himself, so he didn't seem fazed by it. We ended up being there in the office for an hour and a half. My neck is now a bit sore, and I'm on an antibiotic. And I can already see the bruising under the bandage from him trying to manipulate the cyst. That should look nice.

Anyway... this morning we went to our town's Santa Parade. This was Milo's first parade. It was cold... in the 30s... but Milo was snuggled in the Moby, in my jacket, and took a nice snooze while we waited for the parade to start. He seemed interested enough. Then, this afternoon I am getting my hair cut. I have GOT to figure out what to do with my hair. Its just impossible to deal with. We'll see what I end up with! I'm always very brave when it comes to hair.

Ok... I need to tend to my baby boy. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
