in-laws visit

well ryan's parents came down Saturday and I could hardly wait. I love Kale and I love my husband but taking care of the both of them had been quite the struggle. I feel sorry for single parents who do it completely on their own. I give them major props, because Lord knows I could not do it. I love my son more than anything on this planet but after hearing him fuss for so long you just need a break and until Ryan's parents got here I was unable to have one. I have gotten some me time which has been fabulous and much needed. His mom has been such a HUGE help!

We went on Monday for Ryan's check up at the neuro-surgeon. He had some swelling in his back around the incision and the doctor said he had some fluid around it. He got this HUGE syringe out with a needle thicker than the one they used for the epidural. I started to cringe. It ended up being just a bunch of old blood and he got it all out so that helped with the swelling. Ryan also got his staples taken out and I definitely tried not to watch that being done. How did I think I could be a nurse when I first started school? I definitely so do not have the stomach for it. The doctor said that his back was doing great and he wanted to see him again in a month. Ryan's work had wanted him to come back in four weeks but the doctor said nope that he didn't want him going back until after he saw him again. I was excited about that. More quality time with Ryan at home and us as a family :). I love him being home. Too bad we both can't work and just be a stay at home family haha. I wish! The good thing about the military is he is getting paid for all this time off. Ryan is slowly being able to help out. The other night he woke up with Kale and fed him so I got to sleep through that which was awesome. I have such an amazing husband!

The nuero-surgeon's office is in Thomasville so we stopped and ate and it was nice to go on a date we haven't done that in a long time! Since Ryan's surgery and him not being able to handle Kale at all really, Kale has turned into such a mama's boy and I absolutely love it. He will get to crying because of a belly ache or something and Ryan's mom will try to calm him down and Ryan will try and calm him down and nothing will work until he is in his mom's arms and he instantly stops crying. It is such an awesome feeling to know he loves me so much. Whenever he is crying and hears my voice he will stop crying and listen to what I am saying. He is definitely a mama's boy and I am going to enjoy every minute of it because with boys at some time they become a daddy's boy because daddy's teach them sports and everything else but I will be the team mom and the loudest mom in the stands cheering him on.

Speaking of the surgery thank God again for the military and our amazing insurance. Ryan's surgery was a 30,000$ surgery and we don't have to pay a dime. But we did decide that Kale is definitely going to be a neuro-surgeon haha :) that man has to be rolling in mad benjamins...we could not believe that his surgery was that expensive!!!
