absence...

Joel left for Moscow today. I don't get to see him for like a week and a half. I have to stay in PF to get help with Olivia until school starts and Joel has to work this week.
He left like 5 hours ago and I miss him so much already.
I really hate this whole surgery recovery thing. I just want to be done with it all.
But I'm off the drugs though and doing well. I went shopping yesterday with Amy and Rachel.
I have my stack of Christmas cards to go out. I'll mail them tomorrow, only a couple of weeks late. I guess I have a good excuse though.

John and Fay have been getting Olivia up for her first feeding and playing her until her first nap at 9:30 and I have just been sleeping in. It has been so incredibly nice. Seriously.
Oh yeah, I'm done breastfeeding. I'm kinda sad, but kinda really relieved. It was just that with the surgeries and all the drugs I couldn't feed her, but then I wasn't always able to pump to keep the supply up. So Joel and I decided to just do formula for the last 5 months of her first year. Dr. Ruby said that she gets the most important stuff from breast milk in the first 6 months...so I think we did pretty good.

I need to sleep.
Anne of Green Gables = awesome.
